Want to buy a cheap-ish Android tablet, and a large decent-ish monitor

[Alcapwne]

Hi,

After the exams (20th June) I'm thinking of getting a nice big (23/24") monitor, and an android tablet for 'bed browsing'.

I want the monitor to be either an LED or an IPS (or both, but I think there's only one monitor made by LG that is both) which is 23 or 24" and around the £150 mark, or more if it's particularly decent, but I'm used to crappy old Dell monitors so almost anything would be amazing for me,

Regarding the tablet, the most important thing I think would be the build quality and screen resolution, I'd like it to feel as nice as possible and have as big a screen as possible. Budget for that is around £200.

Thanks a lot

Also, with the LED one, I'm not sure it's actually LED IPS, I mean, they hint that it combines LED and IPS technologies but they don't put enough stress on the fact that it's IPS, so I'm not sure whether it is:

I mean LED is just the backlight, they aren't always IPS they can be whatever else, too.

[QUOTE=Shadaez;29915751]'LED' monitors are IPS just with LED backlighting.

I thought normal LED monitors are TN with LED backlighting?

Also, I want something a bit more reliable than a cheap chinese rip off :v:

Ever see the cheap-powerful-reliable example? This would fit perfectly. Pick two.

Not really. The cheap ones just have a little worse build quality and probably little or no tech support / warrenty. The internals are still great

Get an Orange San Francisco, probably better than any tablet you'd get for < £200. Certainly better than any tablet you'd get for the £100 it costs. Just stick a nice custom ROM on it.

it's a bit too small to be able to watch movies and browse the web nicely I'm afraid

Get a slow small phone instead of a tablet? Right...
Get a WiFi only tablet like the WiFi Galaxy Tab or Acer Iconia. You can get a Galaxy Tab for pretty cheap now.

Or wait for ZTE's tablet.

I know, but like I said, screen size is the main thing
