How about the Samsung 215TW, it's an inch bigger and gets some excellent reviews. But if it's just between those 2, I'd go for the NEC.

the dell should be better for movies in the long run as it has HDCP support for HD/BlueRay movies however, this may not actually be fully used for a few years

Never looked at the samsung mate,i'll go & confuse myself even more now

Thanks for the suggestion

I have the LCD20WGX2 and I have no complaints, its an awesome screen. However some have said that movie playback can be a little noisey. Having had the monitor for a few months I can say that it doesn't bother me as the benefits far outweigh the downside. You won't be sorry if you get this.

I'm at home today so I can post screenshots of anything you might want to check out before buying. I posted some in another [post=7924804]thread[/post] a few days ago.

I honestly am having a nightmare choosing here

Don't want to make a mistake

I went through the same process when I was getting mine so I know what you're going through. In the end I worked out what was important to me and then looked at which of the 2 monitors could deliver that to me. I settled on the NEC because I do some photo work and the colour reproduction is just that much better IMHO.

Forgot to add, according to Samsungs website the 215TW is also HDCP compliant. (Special Features at the bottom of the page)

A good choice - and if you bought it from the OC then you get a 4 years on site warranty which is a nice bonus. Hope you enjoy it.

Yeah, good choice until Dell start to play the panel lottery game. There are some unconfirmed reports that Dell switched to S-PVA panel on 2007WFP. It's similar situation as with the 2007FP. You have more info on tftcentral.
