well i have now narrowed it down to a few monitors:

gunna go for 20" or 22" dapending on if i want to spend the extra money or not.

well heres the options:

3 and 4 = just the older samsung monitor from the 1 and 2 which r the new samsung monitor.

right now im 90% sure im gunna get number 2.
yea i could spend an extra £30 or whatever and get an extra 2" on the monitor, but i think im gunna spend that £30 on a tv card.

im thinking maybe get number 3 just cos of the price difference from that and number 2 they're same screen size, only difference is 100 in the contrast ratio and 3ms more on response time.
i realy like the look of number 2 tho, looks like the latest hardware, other looks like its begining to get out dated if u know what i mean :P


probably max i want to spend is £300 but would rather aim for around £200.


extra info:
im wanting the monitor for normal PC use
Gaming
Watching films on

will be using DVI port for my PC which has a 7600GT (should be able to handel my games with that rez)
and the VGA port for my laptop which im 99% sure should be able to handel the rez for the monitor.

would be nice to have the s-video on the dell then i could connect a freeview box insted of having to use a tv-card but i dont watch tv, its my girlfriend that does when she comes to stay. so thats not realy something "I" need, and have the tv in my room still. normaly just watch films or whatever off my laptop so not important, not for me anyway.



hope u guys can help me decide.
