Looking for a Monitor

[N!ck]

Ok, I have decided 22" is probably a little too big. I'm now thinking 19" or 20". The Dell SP2009W for £130 has caught my eye so far.

Might be suitable, around the same price as the Dell.

BTW, I know a mate that has an SP2009W and they're not half bad.

Ok,

SP2009W for £110 - http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=320-6964 (ignore the fact these are US links, the specs are the same)

or

S2209W for £120 - http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=320-7438

S2209W advantages: Ideally I want the S2209 as it's 1080p and bigger. Matt screen.

S2209W disadvantages: A bit too big (20.6" wide) for where it's going. It will just about fit, but with not much room and take up all the space.

SP2009W advantages: A better physical size for where it's going (19" wide - that 1.6 makes a difference). 4 USB ports and a webcam could be useful. £10 cheaper which is a lot as a student.

SP2009W disadvantages: Glossy screen. A little uglier. (I don't mind the fact that it's 1680x1050 and not some 16:9 format).

Both are official Dell refurbishments.

Any help?

In my experience, Matte screens have always been BETTER, but I now have a gloss screen, and it's wayyyy more detailed in my opinion. I'd go for the SP2009W.

I'd go for the SP2009W. Purely because A. there's a webcam and USB ports, and B. I wouldn't really NEED 1080p

Just think though. Do you REALLY need 1080p? If you REALLY think you do, go for the S2209W

Of course I don't really need it just like I don't really need a one of these monitors. It's just a nice think to have. Also, it's 16:9 which I'd prefer and there's more pixels (especially in width) for me to play with.

Well, if you want the extra pixels, go for the SP2209W.
