I was looking for a decent monitor and came across this deal... Good monitor just that you need a DVI TO HDMI convertor if you have hdmi devices

I have this screen. Although its great it has no speakers and no audio output for external speakers.
I paid £100 for this just over a year ago.
This screen has HDMI. My one has anyway?

Deal? Might look cheap because of the 24", but no speakers and no HDMI... in a normal 5ms monitor, it's just not worth more money

HDMI (High Definition MULTIMEDIA Interface) carries both sound and video whereas DVI (Digital Visual Interface) caries just video.
Monitors are for PC gamers or PC users. It is better to have separate speakers than tv speakers in most cases.
Reason why both monitors and TVs exist and not one is because there is no point spending extra when you don't need speakers or other things like freeview for a desktop PC...
On the other hand this monitor is pretty basic, I have the 21" version of it. You get what you pay for.
What you should be looking out for is if monitors have IPS feature which allows for a wider viewing angle rather than straight on view.

Amazonians- this price is now also available from Amazon. Cheaper still with Amazon warehouse deals - only £75!!!
