Hey guys, Pretty new to this forum and community and need some help and information in regards to purchasing a new monitor for general use with the PC, movies and gaming with the 360 (sorry not a PC gamer :p) . I currently have a Dell E197FP which is pretty good for general PC use and the build quality on this monitor is excellent. The only downisde is that its not really giving me a crisp image with its maximum 1280x1024 resolution for the 360. Therefore I will be giving this to my brother and Im looking to upgrade to a larger widescreen. I have read a few threads of Badass's but still cant decide in which one will be the most suitable. Im aiming for a 20 - 22 Widescreen and have a budget of £250'ish. I have looked at the 22 Belinea and ruled it out because it only offers one VGA connection, ideally I would have DVI too so i can connect both PC and the 360. Im not to bothered about sound because I already have a decent setup to go along with this. Another im looking for is good viewing angles and I have read good review on the Dell Ultrasharp 2007WFP which looks perfect but Im worried about the response time of 16ms :eek: which is lower than the current 19 I have atm. I would like to know how this monitor deals with any fast paced games and would also appreciate if you guys can give me good suggetions. :)

Samung 226BW would be a good choice although bear in mind that almost all widescreen tfts (excluding Dell 2007FPW, 2407FPW and BenQ FP241W) will stretch the image from an Xbox 360 slightly due to the 360 outputing in 16:9 and the pc screens being 16:10 ratio and lacking pixel mapping options. This won't be very noticeable unless you are very fussy.

Im starting to favour the Samsung 226BW :)
 
Its a close one between sammy 226bw and the dell 2007WFP. I will go for the sammy first as it looks really nice and is a bit cheaper and if im not happy, will return and go for the dell instead.
