Anything on the horizon?

I'm currently mulling over the idea of getting a new monitor to replace my Belinea 22'' that I'll be giving to my parents to go with my old rig that they're also having.

It seems to me that the 2 most popular are the Sammy 226BW and the HP w2207, now I know that other options are the LG L226WTQ and the Dell E228WFP but I was just wondering whether there's anything else due out that might be worth waiting for just to see how it's compares.

I dont really want to go above 22'' as I think anything bigger is a little excessive for a PC monitor.

Look forward to the replies

Dell ultrasharp 2007 wfp 20" still seems "the choice" at the mo.

There's the Samsung 226CW due end of August:

Also the LG L227WT (similar to the 226CW) but no release date yet.

How does the samsung 226cw differ from the 226bw currently out??

Main difference is the '- Wide Color Gamut (CCFL 97%)'

'Wide Color Gamut products allow viewers to enjoy sharper and true-to-life picture quality with redder reds and greener greens. The 97% Wide Color Gamut CCFL reproduces intense and natural colors previously unseen on LCD products due to the constraints of existing LCD panels.'
