Yes I know they're different sizes but after 20", I am more than content. I'm looking for a monitor that has rich vibrant colors with good blacklevels , handles text very well, good for graphic design/3D modeling, and is good with video. I have always been drawn to the NEC MultiSync 20WMGX2 with its Opticlear screen which looks awesome, its use of a AS-IPS screen and not a TN (I'm not a hard-core gamer), and ridiculously high contrasts and brightness, BUT at 20 widescreen its too small/short. So...
I really like both the Samsung 204t and 214t. Their specs are different in such a way that its hard for me to decide whats best:
------------------------------214T-----------------------204T----------------------WINNER
Panel---------------a-si TFT/PVA LCD--------a-si TFT/Super-PVA---------204T
Screen Size-------------21.3"-----------------------20.1"------------------------214T
Pixel Pitch-----------------0.27mm------------------0.255mm-----------------204T
Brightness---------------300 cd/m2----------------300 cd/m2----------------DRAW
Contrast Ratio-----------900:1-----------------------700:1--------------------214T
Response Time--------8ms-------------------------16ms-------------------214T
So does a lower pixel pitch and better panel on the 204T "better" or preferable to the 214T's higher contrast and faster response time? Is it worth the extra $200?
