Which to choose: 22" LG or Samsung Flat Panel Monitor

Hi all,

I'm having a serious decision crisis that I need your help with. I want to buy a new 22" LCD monitor for my PC, and have pretty much narrowed it down to 3 models (all pixmania, but will chance they're mixed reviews for the price):

1) Samsung syncmaster 2232BW - new version of 226BW

2) LG L226WTQ-PF

3) LG L227WT-PF (new version of LG above. Not sure if it's enough of an improvement to warent the extra cost.)

I've been reading many review about these monitors, and they are very mixed, though largely brilliant. I'm edging towards the Samsung because of some complaints about ghosting with the LG, but have found threads which say it was an overclocking problem that has been corrected with firmware updates. The problem with the samsung is the Panel manufacturer lottery, but this seems to be largely sorted with the new model above.

So, do any of you have these monitors, or bought them from Pixmania, and what do you think?

many thanks

John
