Is it worth it?

Very tempted in the Philips 200W6CS 20" Widescreen TFT. Currently have an older iiyama 17" TFT, which is ok. Would love the Dell 2405FPW, but cannot justify 700 quid on a monitor.

Is it really worth it though moving from 1280/1024 to 1680/1050? Is it really that much better or bigger even?

What have your thoughts been moving from a 17" TFT to a 20" WS? Worth it to you or not..

Cheers..

Yeah was looking at the NEC..Looks good. But the price of the Philips is so bloody tempting!

Oh sod it...Lets go buy it...Hmm I am so easily convinced!

indeed but I believe the consensus is that the NEC is more impressive

Lol i'm not getting into a e-willy waving contest with you

I'm sure they are both great monitors! Hope so, have just ordered the Philips!

This handy chart should give you an idea exactly how much extra size you get going from 17" to 20" widescreen-

Thanks for that...Hmmm not much difference really is there it would seem from 17" to 20"WS..Will have to see what it is like when it arrives.

Thanks again.
