Hello everyone! :D

I have been doing my research as of late and narrowed my selection down to two LCD panels, both made by samsung.

And before I get everyone flaming me about it being a TN panel... I KNOW IT'S A TN PANEL! ;)

I am a gamer and occasionally edit video and photos, I am not a graphic designer...

I can get either at an insanely good price; my question is what one do i get?
I like FPS, but will it be to hard to frag on a 22"? They share the same res so wouldent the smaller be the better monitor.

I tested both in a PC Store today with Nokia software. The 22" showed some MINOR banding in gradients and a very minor back light bleed (not noticeable unless u squint).
The 20" was flawless from my brief tests.

Does anyone own either and could they make any suggestions... I don't want to regret my purchase. :p
 
To me, a 22-inch monitor is significantly larger than a 20-inch monitor. The biggest difference between the two would be that images will look sharper on the 20-inch due to the smaller pixel size. Another consideration is if the 20-inch has a height-adjustable base.

It kind of depends on your desk size too. If you place the monitor close to your face, it can be hard to take in everything on a 22-inch screen, but likewise, it looks better if you're sitting on your bed watching a movie from afar. The 20-inch will look sharper up close but won't be as big from afar.
