Argh, 17" or 19" can't decide!

Right, im going to buy a monitor this week.. and iv narrowed it down to these two:

Samsung 710T 17" - ~£300 inc VAT and Shipping

Specs:
12ms response
300 cd/m2 brightness
600:1 contrast ratio
DVI input

Also comes with a 3yrs samsung warranty, but is still only 17" :/



OR



Sharp LL191AB 19" - ~£310 inc VAT and shipping

Specs:
16ms response
220 cd/m2 brightness
500:1 contrast ratio
Has no DVI input

I am assuming it comes with some sort of a warranty, but the site (which i probably wont buy off of, it just listed ALL the specs) does not say.



I am going to be leaving a pretty shitty 17" Hansol CRT that is about 5 years old (and iv been perfectly happy with.. so it dosnt take much to please me :D)... iv heard from various reviews that they both display little to no ghosting. so basically the question is which should i go for? do you guys think having a 19" would outweigh the lack of DVI input enough? or should i just go for quality, be safe and get the samsung.. ! :(



cheers!

Click to expand...

Go with the 17". It has a DVI input, Same resolution as the 19" and a smaller screen means that the pixels are closer together so you get a sharper looking image. Plus it is brighter, better contrast, has a great response time and other people here seem to love it.
