Which 20" widescreen TFT

I'm thinking of getting a 20" widescreen LCD to replace my 24" TV and 17" CRT (rather annoying when i have to cart both to and from uni) but i am not sure which to get. I really dont want to spend any more than about £300.

The ones I am looking at are the Viewsonic VX2025wm and the Belinea 102035W. Is the Dell 2007 really worth the extra £60 over the other 2 as if it is I may consider upping my budget. Similarly whats the difference between the Belinea 102030W and the 102035W, is the 30 worth going for as it's quite a lot cheaper?

I will be using it to replace my TV so films and games with a little bit of photo editing and browsing etc.

Is that literally the only difference? If so does it make any difference to the picture quality or anything else? My GFX card is DVI as standard.

At the moment I am erring towards the Belinea, unfortunatly i dont have the money at the moment so I'm unlikely to get it while its on sale.

What about dud pixels and the sort how many constitute a bad screen etc? Does it vary from manufacturer to manufactuer?

Can anyone point me towards any reviews to the 2/3 screens (preferably against each other). Toms hardware has a good review of the Viewsonic and I am eering towards that at the moment due to its colour balance but it seems the video playback isn't brilliant. :confused:

Thanks Baddass that was an excellent article and has just reinforced what I was thinking. I think i'll be going with the viewsonic due to the colour reproduction.
