Samsung 215 vs 226 TFTs

What's the difference here apart from viewing size? The 226 seems better in some areas and is newer (?) but almost £100 cheaper on OcUK.

I take it I wouldn't have any trouble connecting one of these lovely screens to a MacBookPro?

215TW has a 24-bit PVA panel and much better viewing angles than the TN panel in the 226BW. The 215TW also has better connectivity and a more flexible stand. There have been reports of excessive lag with the 215TW though, so the 226BW should be the superior gaming screen of the two.

226 has 0.282mm Pitch with the same res as the 20" so the quality will be worse

Dammit, been looking at too many good reviews for the 215. I game regularly now, but intend to cut back/out that in the near future. Image editing and productive work must take precedent! It's a lot of money though, but I'm sold...
