I currently have a Samsung 930BF (19") that is ok but looking a little small these days.

I'm looking to upgrade to a 24" but I'm not sure which one to go for. So far I'm looking at the two below:

Can anyone recommend either of these, or a simillarly priced product?
I could go a little higher on the price but the Dell Ultrasharp is too much £££.

Thanks.
 
Is that personal preference as in you've used the sm-245b or just that you prefer the samsung brand?
 
Where did you find a bad review on the samsung? There WERE (past tense) issues with it not scaling 1080p correctly, but that got updated with the 245BW and a firmware update year+ ago for the 245B. It has very good viewing angles for a TN and the ghosting you'd never notice unless your either using a highspeed camera, some super video phile, or some fullofBSidiot saying you can tell the diffrence between 120fps and 250fps:rolleyes:.

I'm not sure if this is directed at me or not, but I don't think that I said that there were bad reviews of the Samsung. I just noted that it's a TN panel. It was also my understanding that it lacks 1:1 pixel mapping, which is a deal-breaker for me (but not for others, I understand). That might have been remedied by the firmware update you mentioned.
 
It's a VA panel, unlike the Samsung (not sure about the Dell), and it's getting reasonably good reviews.

I may have misread this. I read it as the westinghouse is a VA panel and gets good reviews while the samsung is a TN and hasn't gotten good reviews. Which is not what you intended re-reading what you wrote. My bad.

The 1:1 pixel mapping was supposedly fixed over a year ago with a firmware on the 245B and has always worked on the 245BW. I have not personally tried it on mine. (I'm at work now. Might mess with it when I get home but probably not.)
