Spec me a 22" monitor please!

I've looked through all kinds of threads and it seems there isn't a single 22" monitor that really stands out from the others making this decision somewhat more difficult than it should be.

It will be for general use i.e. some gaming, web browsing, movies. I sit right in front of it so viewing angle isn't an issue and cost isn't a worry. I would get a 24" but due to desk limitations i can't get a monitor bigger than ~52cm, which immediately rules out the Hyundai W220D which seemed like a good contender. I'm happy to wait a while if there is a new model on the horizon which will fit my needs, otherwise it seems like it's down to these choices:
Viewsonic VX2260wm
Asus VH226H
Samsung SM2233BW

They all seem pretty similar, except the Asus and Viewsonic support 1920 * 1080 (which isn't a big concern for me anyway). Is there much difference between the samsung sm2233/2243/2253? I can't find much info on the samsung website

Any help is appreciated

I bought a Samsung monitor a few years ago and it's been good, the only thing is it isn't easy to calibrate for colours if you're doing graphic design work for print. Generally though it's been a good buy.

I know these comments aren't particularly useful but at least I've bumped your thread.

Hmm, no other replies I did see an interesting review of an LG Flatron that looked good but it doesn't seem to be available at many stores. I think i'll go and checkout some monitors in a store and see if i can compare resolutions and how they will be, i'm a little concerned that 1080p will be a bit small on a 22" screen.
