Hey guys, i'm considering picking up a new monitor to replace my VX922 (yeah i know, not widescreen, its starting to get lame).

Either way, im looking at the 2493hm and possibly the 2693hm. I want to stick with a TN panel as the response times are important to me as i mostly game with my system. On the other side of that coin i dont want to sacrifice color quality if i have to. Anandtech did a very good 24" monitor roundup, and this model in particular jumped out at me because of its excellent uncalibrated color results.

What im trying to determine is if the 2693hm is the exact same monitor, just 1.5" larger and same resolution etc. If its going to produce the same quality of picture/response times etc, id gladly step up to the larger monitor.

Either way i thank everyone for their time.

They both share the same resolution of 1920 x 1200 and both are TN panels, but they come off different production lines (obvious by the panel size).

With regards to which one has better colors; that's hard to determine w/o any reviews or an in-person side-by-side comparision of the two monitors.
