'lo all
I've had a Dell 2005fpw from just after they came out and have a 17" Dell tft next to it as a secondary monitor for email / msn etc etc. This has been fine for about 3 years or however long I've had them until recently.
I bought a 32" Samsung LCD TV and have added it as a 3rd monitor on the pc also for playing videos on. The thing which has hit me is how much better the colour is on the TV display over the 2 Dell units, and it's like night and day basically.
So i'm thinking of upgrading the 20" Dell to something newer which will have a better colour output to get close to or match the TV unit. I'm also thinking of just going for a 24" replacement and do away with the 17" screen also to gain a bit of desk space back.
I've been tempted with one of the Samsung 22" units but seeing as it's the same res as my current 20" I can't really see the point. But then with the 24" units currently on offer I'm a bit stuck as to what might be a worthy upgrade.
I'm not a full time gamer, but do like the odd blast on Race Driver, HL2, UT3, GTA, I do some web design and a bit of image processing but nothing like pro level. So I think a good all rounder would be the best bet.
Any thoughts people? I would have loved a Samsung in piano black casing to match the TV as they are on the same desk, but can't find one in a 24" unit.
