Hey computer guys, which monitor is better?

I currently have a 19-inch Asus PW191, and would like to know if the HP w2007 20-inch is better. Someone has offered me $230 for the 19-inch Asus, and for $265 shipped I could upgrade to a 20-inch HP.

Any of you computer guys know a thing or two about Asus? I've read the reviews for both, but still don't know which monitor I should use.

the HP w2007 is a beautiful screen and looks awesome with games.

i would look into getting a 22" samsung though.. the 2" makes a big difference

i would go for the 22 inchers, but due to the limitations of my ikea desk, i litterally cant fit a 22inch. i have exactly 19.3 inches of horizontal width to work with.

I have that same desk, but a 30 inch Apple monitor on it... thinking about switching off to throw my smaller monitor in the cubby and moving it to another desk. It is a pain in the *** having that large monitor so close to the desk.

I second the 22 incher though... it does make a nice difference and samsung makes some nice panels.

No offense mayneeee but in the future don't let cheap desks dictate what expensive electronic equip you buy.
