External Display for 13" Macbook Pro

Although I really like the ACD, I don't have the money to one. So I want to know whether these two displays will suit me well for general usage, maybe playing a few games from time to time.

- Dell SX2210 21.5" Full-HD WideFlat Panel Monitor with Webcam £209

Ignore the T before the h, the link doesn't work otherwise.

- Samsung P2270 22" Ultra-Slim Design LCD Monitor £169

Also, if there are any other monitors in my price range (up to and around £200), could you post a link here to the website. I'm looking for an ACD equivalent with a USB hub, web cam and maybe built-in speakers, along with a good display. HDMI port(s) will also be a bonus, but I only really need DVI.

Im currently using a P2370 with my 15" MBP and I think its great. I have seen some of my coworkers using Dell monitors and think the samsung looks a lot better.

I agree. The Samsung looks stunning, but there are 4 USB hubs and a HDMI connector on the Dell which kinda justifies the £40 difference. I've heard the webcam and microphone on the Dell don't work with OSX...

Thinking of getting an ACD now with a HE discount. Does anyone know how much the HE discount takes off the original price of £649 in the UK?

I think the current discount for HE is 17%

I think the current discount for HE is 17%

Is that for all products or just for the ACD?

£649/1.17 = £554

I think the refurb model is £509 but they are nearly always out of stock.

When you say all products, do you mean all Apple branded products, or all third party products sold in the Apple Store as well?

Also, I think I've decided on going with this display. Does anyone else have this connected to their Mac?
