Help need for buying 19 or 20 inch LCD.

I got option of buying LCD:
Dell E1909W -19 inch
HP 2009f Wide Screen -20 inch
Samsung 2033BW or 2033SW -20 inch (plz tell me difference between these BW & SW series by samsung)

I will use them for Playing HD movies...Playing PC Games...& playing Xbox 360 Games on this LCD...

which LCD should i buy???

Dell E1909W is hard to find. If you can get one, dont look elsewhere, its a great 19' monitor. If you need bigger monitor, then look for 22' monitors from Benq or Samsung.

In that 2033SW is the best. Its strange I can't find 2033bw model in Samsung's official site. Specs differ between them. 2033SW has 1600 x 900 and 15000:1 contrast ratio whereas 2033BW has 1680 x 1050 and 20000:1 contrast ratio. R u sure abt availability of 2033bw in India? But then also I think u should go for 2033SW only.

where do you live. what quotes you got for these lcd's.

Get the Samsung 2033SW,

the difference between bw and sw is in aspect ratio afaik.

Go for Samsung 2033SW

Difference is the aspect ratio

Not only that... The differnce lies in well guarded dotpitch specs of Samsung 2033sw. here you go


Dell E1909W
Resolution:1440*900 16:10
Dot pitch: 0.285mm
Screen Size 410.4mm *256.5 mm

Samsung 2033sw
Resolution: 1600*900 16:9
Dotpitch: 0.2768mm
Screen Size: 442.8mm X 249.075mm

Hence due to non standard resolution and non standard dot pitch the height of Samsung monitor is actually little less then Dell E1909W. Take your pick.
