Hi all, okay im changing my mind about a 24 inch and just getting a 22 inch instead, and i think ill stickwith the Samsung SM models, (nice responce time and contrast ratio they have too), but im wondering which to go for?

Samsung SM-226BW 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Glossy Black

or

Samsung SM-2232BW Pebble 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Glossy Black
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-062-SA

???

Is it just the shape that is difference? if so, the non pebble seems to have a better edge don't you think? Anyway which is the best buy?

Thanks.

Top one is panel lottery but if you get a good one is great, bottom one should be desired S-panel as Samsung now claim, however the latter has terrible shaky stand and poor build quality imo.

Wouldn't risk buying another of the top one after the faulty ones I've seen.

I had 22" Pebble, poor uneven backlight and as said already shoddy stand- no fixings between the two, just ball/socket joint.

lol tempted to get the top one though, got some good reviews around ..
