Hey everyone

I am looking to purchase a new MBP 2.4ghz with 4gb of RAM
However I really need a 22-24" screen to go with it.

Could anyone please guide me onto good screens that are roughly $500AU?

I will mainly be using it for graphic design, but would also like to hook up my xbox 360

Thanks for you help

For graphic design you'll need a screen that is capable of accurate colors. So a PVA or IPS panel. If you also want to play games you'll need a screen that is fast as well. So the only option left then is a PVA screen.

The problem is that PVA channels are above your current budget (IPS channels, like the ACD's are even more expensive). If your budget was higher the Dell 2408WFP is probably your best choice. Lots of inputs and a PVA panel.
