I whittled my choices down to these two lcd's. First off, I will be using it for gaming and office work, that's it. No color reproduction activities.
Now, I realize the vast majority of people say there is no comparison between a TN (HP) panel and an IPS (NEC) panel, however I must be in the minority since I do not notice a *vast* difference bewteen the two. I DO notice the viewing angle variance in the HP but do not notice the color variance.
NEC
Is it still worth my while to get the NEC for around ~$100 more than the HP especially since the NEC is being discontinued? What happens if I get one from NEC with bad pixels or an out right lemon out of the box? What do I get back from NEC? Any reason not to get the NEC?
HP
If you sit for the most part straight on, is the viewing angle on the HP still bad? I'm also a sloucher, will the dark areas be more noticeable then? Any reason not to get the HP?
Both run at the same resolution however, if I understand correctly, the HP will seem more pixelated since it is a 22" vs a 20". Is this true? Is the 20" that much more crisper? Also, my eyesight isn't the greatest anymore. I'm not sure I can run a default resolution of 1680x1050 at least for reading text, websites, etc (games, heck ya!). Will a 22" be more suitable then?
Oh yeah, 24" are out of the question. I feel those are too big for my needs plus I don't have the juice to run a decent setup.
Thanks!
