LCD monitors — they just get bigger and cheaper all the time. A while ago Chimei’s 22 inch LCD led the revolution that made 22″ the “best bang for the buck”, and now you can buy those for as little as $250 a pop. One problem for 22″ though is its resolution. At 1680×1050 it is just not good enough for true high definition content at 1080p. You need the next step up, the 24 inches at 1920×1200, to fully present the HD in its true glory. And now days it’s amazingly affordable.

The Dell 24″ Entry E248WFP was priced at $499 earlier this year, and thanks to neosin who posted this deal on OzBargain, you can now get one for as low as $304 delivered. Although there are a few steps involved, including using a motor club (NRMA, RACQ, etc) discount (10% off) + 3% moneyback via MoneyBackCo. It’s not an UltraSharp, but it’s still a great display if all you want is screen real estate.

On another note, Ozstock is selling a ViewSonic VX2835WM monitor for $448 + shipping today (posted on OzBargain by SimBer). It’s a refurb unit with maximum 3 dead pixels. However it’s probably cheaper than many 26″ LCD TVs on the market doing much lower resolution. Only less than 3 hours to go — so head down there if you are looking for something that’s big and cheap.
