I wouldn't call going from 20">22" an upgrade. Both sizes will use the same resolution so the image will just be stretched. There have been a number of people on here who have commented on the clarity of 22" screens as they are used to having a sharper image on a smaller screen.

Another thing to note is that the Philips uses a better panel type than the TN panels in the 22" screens. You would end up losing viewing angles and possibly colour quality. This wouldn't be such a problem for people moving from a TN panel to another TN panel but seeing ase you've used a higher quality panel you'd probably notice the difference.

To answer your question, i would go for the samsung over the belinea as it has dvi and 16.7m colours. However, i wouldn't look at it as an improvement.

I would stick with what you have at the moment and wait and see what happens in the 22" market. More panel types may start appearing for that size. If not then the only other upgrade would be to go for a 24" screen or maybe even larger
