So I've narrowed it down to two.
Samsung SM225MW - £169 Delivered# Screen Size: 22"
# Screen Resolution: 1680x1050
# Response Time: 5ms
# Brightness: 300cd/m2
# Contrast: 700:1
# Analogue TV Tuner
# Interface: VGA D-sub, DVI-D, HDMI CVBS, S-Video, SCART Component, Composite, S-Video, PIP/PBP. Supporting 1080P Input
Samsung T200HD - £199 Delivered# Screen Size: 20"
# Screen Resolution: 1680x1050
# Response Time: 2ms
# Brightness: 300cd/m2
# Contrast: 20,000:1 (Dynamic) (1000:1 Typical)
# HDTV Freeview TV Tuner
# Interface: VGA D-SUB, DVI-D with HDCP, 2 x HDMI, SCART, Component, Optical out, CI slot.
So it’s pretty close, the SM225MW is £30 cheaper and two inches bigger, it also has more inputs. The brightness and resolution of both is the same, but the T200 has a 3ms faster response time, higher contrast ratio, and a HDTV tuner.
But the question is how much difference does the response time and contrast ratio make in the world?. Undoubtedly with T200HD is prettier but maybe the size of the SM225MW makes it the better deal, but then you do get a HDTV Freeview built in.
Which would you go for?
