I had agonised over getting a 20/22″ lcd monitor.

Some benefits

- more desk space

- easier on my eyesight

- less strain on my eyes when I have to cram lots of stuff on screen

- multi-monitor fun giving me lots of real-estate desktop space.

So anyway we went to the various asian computer shops…all of them had dodgy named Cicom etc. brands or 19″ only.  Pretty poor.

PC world had the ViewSonic VA2216W in stock at £160 – tempting.

We went next door to Staples and found it on offer at £140 but not in stock….PC World did a price match so after a bit of wrangling and explaining ‘I would go to the other Staples store and pick it up for £140′, PC world made it £140 + 10% of the difference = £138.  Nice price for a 22″ lcd.
