Which 26" Samsung, Syncmaster 2693HM or T260?

I'm trying to decide which 26 inch Samsung i should get. These are my choices, but i dont know which one to choose based on the quality. T260 though is obvious better looking and easy on the eye.

I'd choose the 2693HM, just because it's brighter and also it has no vision-distracting design.
And I would never use dynamic contrast.
Both seem to have TN panels... so colours will be the same.

Besides that, they look similar.

Yeah i hate the contrast as i factor. If a Monitor is Good i'd go for it even if it's 1:1 Contrast.

Anyway, well is the brightness difference significant? I mean in actuality not as a number (400>300).

But the T260 has such an attractive design that it's drawing me to it. I dont think that would distract me if i'm playing a Game or working on an application, but it's definitely nice to have when yu're wandering on the room and you sneak a peak on your Monitor.

Other than that i would really like to know about each Monitor actual Performance. Has somebody from here tried any one from these?

I said "I'd choose the 2693HM, just because it's brighter and also it has no vision-distracting design.", but I actually cared only about the design. Brightness is only useful if you're going to use the monitor in a very lit place.
I do color correction (as a student, in Argentina, my conditions are very poor ), and my 2032NW's brightness is always set at 18%. So I really don't use its brightness.

Considering your interest (gaming, and a good looking monitor), I'd choose the T260.

Anyway, I've never used any of those.

Last week i got the 2693 HM from E-shop , compared to the T-260 is a much better monitor with lots of more many features. All the T260 has is a Marketing design and contrast ratio which is useless ) Not to mention that the 2693 has 400 candles power compared to the T260 which has 100 less
