So I'm basically getting a monitor for free with a Dell computer ($200 coupon) and I need help deciding which monitor is best for me. I do a lot of surfing and gaming but nothing else worth mentioning, I've done my research but I need a little advice, these are the 3:

E207WFP - http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-5123

SP2008WFP - http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-6140

E228WFP - http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-5205

E207WFP (20inch) CONS: 800:1 contrast PROS: Matte Screen, .25 Dot pitch

SP2008WFP (20 inch) CONS: Glossy screen (very) PROS: .25 Dot Pitch, 2000:1 Contrast

E228WFP (22 inch) CONS: 800:1 Contrast, .28 dot pitch Pros: Matte Screen, 22"


Money being equal what does everyone think?
 
I'd like to help, but I really know nothing about these panels, they seem to be very alike :) :-/

I would just like to thank you for responding, I was starting to think I didn't exist! They are very similar, and it's entirely possible that people don't give a rats ass about 3 Dell monitors since they are not Samsungs or other pricier brands, plus the TN panels get a bad rap around these parts.

I think I've made my peace with the glossy screen though and I'm leaning towards the SP2008WFP.
 
I'd suggest opening Google and searching the model number followed by "review". It helped me considerably. And going to the Dell forums to ask as well.

I don't think TN is frowned upon here so I wouldn't worry. Most people probably just don't have experience with them to give you accurate advice.
 
I thinks these monitora are just the type there are being sold in large quantities to corpartions etc., while people here tend to choose models more related to gaming and/or photo work etc.

From these I'd definitely go for 22" model, I consider 20" for 1680x1050 too small. And matte screen is a plus too. I don't like glossy screens.
