I've been looking into a new screen in the 20" area and since S-IPS are non existant anymore i figured i'd settle for a good TN (i don't photo edit nor watch DVDs so it's OK)

Samsung 2032BW - is this even out yet? i can't seem to find any reviews (it seems like a sleeker updated 206BW)

Samsung 206BW - looks good but i'm not sure

Samsung 215TW - not sure about this because it's not 20" so the pixel/res thing is bugging me and it's more expensive.

what do you guys think?
 
I love my 204B, though you're obviously looking for widescreen so that's not really applicable.
 
yeah, at first i wasn't sure but since they have a 4:3 feature for older games I really don't see a reason not too.
 
Weaker pixel density. That's part of why I went 4:3 when I bought. That, and I'm used to it, plus I don't watch DVDs on my computer as a general rule -- it's used mostly for content creation and gaming, and I'd rather have higher pixel density for both those activities.

1600x1200 vs 1650x1080 made an easy choice for me. I'd prefer even higher, but I don't want to spend on a 24". My 21" CRTs at 1800x1440 and higher have spoiled me...
 
don't say that :/ you're going to make me reconsider WS (considering i don't watch DVDs either.....)

but they are usually more expensive right?
 
Not really. Maybe $20-50, if that -- and when you considering something you'll be using as long a a monitor, that's really negligible.

Some people really like widescreen. Wave of the future, all that. It just doesn't have the draw necessary for me yet.
 
it's kinda ridiculous to consider anything non-ws at the moment. a 20 inch ws will have plenty of pixel density compared to a 19 or 22.
 
yeah even if you have to go with 1680x1050 for widescreen, it is worth it.. I have a nice 24" 1920x1200 and I would not be able to go back to 4:3. widescreen is just to nice..

All personal preference. I have widescreen displays, but I prefer my 204B or one of the 21" CRTs.
 
Bought 206BW for my cousin. Manufactured in September, very decent display for money.
 
well considering most non-WS on newegg go for about 900$ (not considering the Dell and in the 20")

it's clearly going ot be WS
I may wait for the 2032BW to be released.
