    Pretty much the title.

    It has to have the following:
    • Built in speakers
    • Be under £200 (notice that is is STERLING, not DOLLAR)
    • Have full HD
    • Have a decent resolution (more that 1280x1024)
    Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

    So far, without much looking I have found this one. Also, a couple of questions:
    • When it states the size, does that mean from corner to corner?
    • Are there any significant differences between 2ms and 5ms?

    You can get rid of the decent resolution because in order to have full HD you need 1080p which 1920x1080. yes the size is corner to corner I believe.

    The one you found is good but it's small. But then again mine is 27" so most things are smaller.

    Aight then, the second one I posted is optimal, but since I am getting it fr my birthday, if it is too expensive, I shall go for the first one. Thanks for your opinions on this.

    Yes but then you have a stupid computer that for the most part is useless, costs a lot of money and was made by Chinese slaves.
