Neither. I'd save your pennies and go for the P2450H's successor, the B2420H. Since you were considering the G2420HDBL you could also go for the B2430L which is even cheaper and, like the BenQ, doesn't feature HDMI.

I have a little bit about the B2230H here - the B2420H/L is essentially the same but larger. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=17414856#post17414856

great thanks for the help I think I'll go with the Samsung B2430H so is this the newer version of the P2450H?

Yeah. Well it kind of filled the gap - I know it looks very different. Great screen for the price (image quality is better than the P2450H if anything). We have a little bit about it on my website if you haven't checked it out too.

Is the only difference between the H and L the HDMI?

Sorry about this. I'm not sure if it's a bit of a blip in specification but from what it says on Samsung's website the B2430L has a marginally smaller screen than the B2430H; strange thing is they look exactly the same in the pictures and the whole monitor is exactly the same physical size and very similar weight. According to the specification the B2430L has a 23.6" screen and the B2430H a 24" screen.
