20" widescreen for less than £320

jmhduck · 6 Nov 2006 at 12:12

Hiya I'm in the market for a 20" widescreen. I watch a lot of films and viewing angles are important as I invite mates over to watch films etc.

With this in mind I think the belinea and viewsonic look like the best monitors as they both use the same panel which is non-tn film, I've been on the excellant tftcentral site as well

.

Any views on which is better? or on a good alternative would be appreciated.

Thanks

From what i have heard/read they are both pretty good beasties

I'm actually about to click buy on the belinea right now too!

i managed to find the samsung 205 BW for 209.00 new, its GREAT for the price, some light bleeding from top and bottom though

what panel does the samsung 205 use? I just checked tft central but couldn't see a review

It's a TN so viewing angles are still limited.

cheers fish, so I wouldn't want a 205 then

I just noticed an articlie on trusted reviews that mentions backlight bleeding is this a problem with belinea/viewsonic?

And the viewsonic is noted as not having 1:1 pixel mapping, does the belinea have 1:1 pixel mapping as I can't find it specified anywhere?
