Cheap alternative to the ACD

[jsmythirl]

Hello!

I want to purchase a monitor to accompany a new MBP, but I am totally put off by the high price of the ACD, so I am wondering if people have any suggestions on a much cheaper option.

Budget would be between €200-400, and would only mainly be used for work purposes, as opposed to using it for any graphic heavy uses.

Any suggestions?

I've heard good things about Dell displays, I don't know what models are in your price range but check them out.

Thanks mrkramer - I presume all other monitors, like the Dell ones are fully compatible with the MBP once you have the correct adaptor?

yes they are, you just need an adapter and it will work.

Just be aware youll be looking in the less-than-or-24" category (I havent seen a decent resolution screen which is larger than 24" for under $500/€400. For your purposes Id definitely look at DELL and HP Screens (Ive had good luck with both brands), and Id recommend hunting for a 1920*1080 screen (21.5" or so seems to be the size) - as they tend to be cheapish and high enough resolution to get most things done
