Philips or Belinea 20" widescreen?

Rain Man · 23 Mar 2006 at 01:11

Looking to buy one of these as an upgrade from my 16ms 17" tft

these are around the same price and have the same features. wondering if either one of them outperforms or has less niggles than the other

main use will be bf2 and some mild dvd watching.

cheers

oh and another question

if i buy the 20.1" widescreen ill have to sell my 17" to help the cash

another option is keep my 17" tft as a 2nd monitor and buy a 19" normal tft as my main one

which one would you prefer? cos i cant make up my mind lol

I would get the single widescreen and sell the 17".

Out of the two, i would go for the Philips as it has 1:1 image scaling, so if you want to play games at 1280x1024 then you can either stretch it to fill the screen or you can scale it to its original size in the center of the screen, without stretching. The Belinea can't do this.
