Which 20" widescreen on the cheap(ish)

[matt100]

Choices..

Viewsonic VX2025
Philips 200W6CS
Benq FP202W
Belinea 102035W
Acer AL2016W

Don't know much about these monitors, things I want to know are.. does DVI make that much difference? (ie counts out the acer) and do any of them have usb/card readers.

Also user accounts would be nice for ghosting etc.. making this decision tomorrow when I rma this viewsonic vx912 that has backlight bleed baaaaaad.

http://www.behardware.com/ Have some good reviews on those models.

A lot of people rate the Belinia as a great allrounder and I'd say the Viewsonic comes in a close second, mainly for the price.

DVI is a lot sharper and clear. Using VGA on an LCD is like using a TV as your monitor. Some monitors take VGA well, others not. If you have a DVI capable card, you might was well make use of it.
