Hi been toying around with building a new rig capable of playing HD films for a while, and therefore have been looking at getting a 24" monitor to go with it hoping to go with a PVA panel for the viewing angles and torn between these two:

or this one

Being a cheap skate I favour the OCUK for £100 quid less and hoping I get lucky with back ligh bleed/dead pixels, however it lacks 1:1 pixel mapping. Is the options for scaling using the cards drivers reliable alternative to getting a monitor with this function? I'm asking as he brought a large LCD TV to use as a monitor and he had problems with the desk top and games "spilling" over the edge of his screen, and the driver option didn't seem to work with out using a registry tweak which you have to restart the computer each time you use.
Just wondering if there are drivers out there which have this problem solved in which case I'll go with the OCUK monitor but if it's still iffy I'm wondering if the extra £100 is worth it.
Thanks for any advice.
