I recently bought a benq 21.5″ full hd monitor. link : http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=143&bid=2&sid=34396 and I was wondering, I run my ps3 off it (HDMI) @ “full” hd and I can’t really see a big diffrence between this and a normal screen. Is the monitor not good quality or have I been suckered by the hype?

star50 tpng Benq 21.5  Monitor Full HD Monitor?Best 22in Monitor for the price
By JoeQ
Great quality monitor for the price. Full 1080p resolution for only 119.99. Not that bad in my books. Used for gaming (Mass Effect 2 and Wow mostly) and it is a night and day difference between my old monitor that was only able to pull 1280×780. Includes a VGA cable that feel flimsy and not of high quality. (of course it is a vga cable so that’s not surprising) All in all its a great budget 1080p monitor that gets the job done

I got two of these in a two monitor setup for my computer. It is a great display, especially at the price it is selling. My one and only gripe (which isn’t much of a gripe) is that the optimal resolution of 1920×1080 makes things a little smaller than I was used to.

Well, it depends on what your “normal screen” is.

If your “normal screen” is an HDTV set that can do 1080p, of course you won’t see much of a difference. :-)

in my experience, it’s tough to appreciate the quality of “full hd” without a screen at least twice that size, and i’m a bit of a videophile. so i can understand that (assuming your “normal screen” is an crt display with component hook ups?) that you’d see little difference, with or without “full” 1080p.

to answer your question, the specs of that monitor look pretty solid. 21.5 is a decent size, but again relatively small as far as hd displays go. you probably could have paid a skooch less, but i wouldn’t necessarily say “suckered.” you’ll get much use out of that screen, wether you use it just with the ps3 or hook a computer to it, so i’m sure you’ll get your money’s worth
