    The only 24 monitor I would recommend is the HP LP2475w BUT it is out of your price range at £419
    In all honesty the ones you will be looking at around the £200 mark will not be very good at all
    I would recommend you look for the 22 market and I would recommend the BenQ G2220HD @ £139 its a 22.5 model and displays at 1920x1080 so is HD it has a response time of
    5ms (grey to grey)
    a brightness of 300cd/m2
    a contrast ratio of 40,000:1 (dynamic)
    1,000:1 (static)

    :)
