Duno about the Samsung as the links dead, but LG have a good waranty.

If you are a hardcore photo editor you should know those monitors are no good, and should be looking to spend 2 to 3 times as much on a IPS monitor.
If not a hardcore editor but still do almost all work on the PC using photo editing software check out LED (they are better then the TN that you've linked to)
For the same pricepoint this is what I'd recommend

For a little more THIS is the grand daddy you are looking for

Thanks for that!

The Samsung is LED, link works for me, but...

Ok the Samsung is better technically, but spend the extra for the LG IPS from Aria, unless you can only buy from Argos in which case its the Samsung for me, but barely any difference as its still a TN panel in both the LG and samsung from Argos, whereas the LG from Aria is IPS & LED backlighted.

Check this for a 30 sec comparison in technologies

Another vote for IPS if photo editing is important (avoid TN panels). Something like an Asus ML239H is a good budget option (which also happens to be LED backlit).
