I am looking at buying a 22"monitor to replace my 19" syncmaster 940BF.
I have 3 in mind :
LG L226WT 22" TFT
SAMSUNG SM225BW 22" widescreen
Asus 22" Wide screen LCD TFT, WSXGA+ 1680x1050
All 3 seems to have good reviews, which doesn't help me to make a choice, I know more or less the quality of the Samsung as I've got one, but in your opinion which one should I go for?

I’ve just got an acer 24, runs at 1920 x 1200, cost was £200 inc del from laptop direct. It’s about half the cost of the rest of the 24” ones available and the only downsides I’ve see mentioned are the stand is plain (no height adjustment, usb hubs, speakers etc) and it doesn’t have a digital input only vga0 -
The Feb edition of PCW has a review of 22" monitors. I must admit I only paid attention to what it said about LG ones (as that's what I bought recently). They didn't rate the LG model that they tested very highly, IIRC :-(0

if you can live without the extra 2 inches, you can save a few quid and get a 20" - they have the same resolution.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

I do want the extra 2", that's why I am considering a 22". Or I would keep my 19" which has been working perfectly until now.
I am hoping it'll make it'll be easier to open two windows and watch them side by side, and I need a good quality picture for games, graphics and DVD watching.0
