I've seen the 20" Samsung 205BW for £210 if that takes your fancy.

had a look but think i can get a better quality and contrast monitor if i stick with 19"w.

Any suggestions ? or where i mite find reviews on 19" widescreens in my price range ?

You wont, the Samsung 205 will beat all if not most 19" Widescreens, and its a much nicer size.

all the 19"WS models are TN Film based and will offer pretty comparable performance to the 205BW really in practical use. It's a nice screen really, especially at a good price

only other thing i was wondering about is res....

My pc will never be amazing but i will want to at least try and use the monitor at native, so maybe the lower res of the 19" would be a benefit.

also i am upgrading from a samsung syncmaster 172s (17" non widescreen) so i think 19"wide mite just about keep me happy for some time.

cheers for the option though guys, glad ** thinking about it =)

any more recomendations ?

if you do decide to stay with a 19", the Hyundai N90W is a good choice and popular at the moment

Arge · 23 Oct 2006 at 19:46

badass, did you mean the N91W ?? or the N90W family or sumthing ?

searched for N90W but couldnt find anything !

The N91W looks like a good monitor though, what u rekon ?

Arge, check if the Samsung supports 1:1 pixel mapping, then you can use any resolution on the bigger panel.

sorry, typo, the N91W i meant

The Samsung 205BW doesn't offer 1:1 pixel mapping through hardware, i've got a sample of the screen with me now

Arge · 23 Oct 2006 at 20:23

do any 19" widescreens offer 1:1 pixel mapping ? the n91w ?

it would be usefull for my older games but not really a 'must have'
