    I've gone through the slew of TFT threads... and couldn't find one to tack this question on to. So here goes.

    I'm looking at two 19" Widescreens.

    HP w19:
    19" Viewable
    8m/sec Response
    300cd/2 Brightness
    500:1 Contrast Ratio
    1440 x 900 Res
    0.285 Dot Pitch
    16.2M Colours.
    DVI + VGA

    Or a Packard Bell Maestro 19" Widescreen with the same spec, but with built in speakers (which I wouldn't use anyway).

    Both of these I can get for €270 which seems a good price, but is there anything that'll be better quality for little or no more in terms of cost?
    Taking into consideration the monitor will be used for everything. Games, movies, photo editing, general desktop use. Now I don't need something great, and the photo editing is just very basic brushing up of pictures so don't need a super dooper monitor for that. Anyway, opinions are welcome. :)

    There aren't too many 19" desktop widescreens out their but there is a review of that HP W19 display just re-branded as a Fujitsu Siemens W19 on the widescreen gaming forum that is probably worth reading over though watch out they say there is a problem with the display and certain ATI cards if using DVI.
