Have pretty much decided on a Samsung 22" for my new rig but what are the main differences between these models?

SM-223BW
SM-226BW
SM-226CW

The 226CW seems to have some extended colour paletta / galwart thing going on but is that worth a £47 premium over the 223BW?

Cheers,
Simon
 
Hmm managed to get the Samsung site to eventually load up and these are main differences:

SM223BW

Screen Size 21.6" Widescreen
Resolution 1680 x 1050
Brightness 300cd/㎡
Contrast Ratio 1,000:1 (DC3,000:1)
Response time 5ms
Viewing Angle (Horizontal/Vertical) 170˚/160˚
Colour supported 16.7Mil

SM226BW

Display Screen Size 22" Widescreen
Resolution 1680 x 1050
Brightness 300cd/㎡
Contrast Ratio 700:1 (DC3,000:1)
Response time 2ms
Viewing Angle (Horizontal/Vertical) 160˚/160˚
Colour supported 16.7Mil

SM226CW

As 226BW but with this 97% colour gamut things. No sure it justifies the £29 extra over the 226BW.

I recently got a 226BW awsome awsome screen. Highly recommended.

I have read reviews about the CW model and they seemed to not think it was worth the extra.
 
Personally I could throw out recommendations regarding the 226BW til the cows come home, cracking monitor and I regard it as the best purchase I have ever made, higher on my list than even the Q6600 and 8800GT. Now if that's not high praise I don't know what is! :D
 
Sounds good Mishima, i've just bought the 226BW actually. Will you be hooking up a games console to yours? Will be interesting to see what difference the 2ms makes compared to the 5ms.
