ASUS 16:9 Monitors

[senorwhitey]

Well, I'm currently stuck at a crossroad. I'm stuck between the 21.5" ASUS VH222H and the 23.6" ASUS VH242H. I will be using my monitor to play ps3, watch bluray movies, and general pc use. For further information, they both have the same resolution of 1920x1080, and pretty much have the exact same specs, besides the obvious difference, which is the physical size. However, I'm worried that the text on the 21.5" will be too small.

Also, currently the 21.5" is on sale for $170 shipped and the 23.6" is $250 shipped. So my question is, should I go for the VH222H or take the $80 plunge and go for the VH242H?

Thanks

I've tried the Acer 21.5" 1080p and did find the the dot pitch (text size) a bit too small. You can increase the dpi in windows and font size in browsers, but it will still be small in games and other apps. Also I'd get the VH242H from Amazon because Newegg doesn't allow returns and no tax if you live in CA:

Hmm, thanks for the input. Yeah, I think I will go for the VH242H. However, I think I'll just go for the newegg lcd, as I only have $250 and want it now. (I'm a jobless, high school student who has already waited a long time to save up) I know about neweggs strict 8 dead pixel policy and I think I will take the chance.
