Help deciding 22" monitor

[bluehaze777]

I'm not sure which 22" monitor i should buy,the one that attracts me the most is the LG L226WTQ

However i've been reading the fourms and was wondering if the panel has problems with 2ms (overdrive) and dynamic contrast ratio?

Also why is the Samsung 226BW so popular? Is it better than all other 22" displays (such as the LG) or is it just becasue it's made by Samsung or because it has a nicer stand? (I admit it looks better than the LG,but i'm on a budget so if the Samsung is more expensive only because of the stand then i'll pass)

Also is the LG monitor an IPS lcd? Should i only buy an IPS monitor? (I'm a total nub in the LCD tech sry )

NOTE: I will be using the monitor for both 360 and pc

I had the Samsung 226BW (S Panel) and... I hated it, I seem to be the only one though. It wasn't very adjustable and the colours looked bad even after playing around with them for hours (I know TN panels are generally bad, this was a lot worse).

I swapped it for the HP w2207 and I felt it was miles better, lots of adjustments, can go portrait etc. The only downside (or an upside depending on the person) is that the monitor is glossy so depending on the lighting it's occasionally harder to see than a matte one.
