Hi guys! Well I am currently thinking of upgrading from current ViewSonic 19" LCD Monitor (VA1912wb), to a 22" one. There are basically 2 choices available to me: The Samsung 226BW 'C' Panel LCD Monitor, and the Acer 2216WBD. Nothing else is available in the shops where I am :P..

As you would probably know, theoretically the Samsung 226BW is much better than the Acer 2216WBD. However, there are actually 3 variations of the Samsung 226BW. 'S' (which is the best in terms of quality), and the 'A' and 'C' versions (which are lesser quality LCDs - has crappy colours by default, but which can be fixed manually to a considerable degree)....Only the 'C' Panel version of this Samsung 226BW is available to me, and I don't know if this version of the Samsung 226BW is still better than the Acer 2216WBD or not....There is also a price difference of about US$55.

My primary reason for upgrading is because I have recently purchased a PS3, and I want to use the new display with my PS3 :D...That is, the monitor will be used for both work and gaming ...

So basically, which one is more recommended: Samsung 226BW 'C' Panel, or the Acer 2216WBD...?
