Definitely the Viewsonic. The resolution is really one of the most important things, plus the quality can't be much different.

Edit: There's an Acer 22" for $200, check [H]ot|Deals.
 
I'll bet you that the difference in quality is negligible. They're both TN's, and they're both designed to be cheap. What are you using the monitor for? If you're a gamer with an older graphics card, the 1440x900 resolution would provide a better gaming experience. That's really just about all the Samsung has going for it, from a technical standpoint. 1680x1050 would be very much preferable for desktop work and internet browsing. The Samsung also has about the same contrast ratio as the Viewsonic. The "DC" is dynamic contrast, which isn't reliable.

I like the bezel design of the Samsung better.

I will be gaming most of the time, and I have a rather new system. I wouldn't suppose that there is a monitor in my price range that isn't a TN panel?
