The more expensive one only has a 90 day warranty too.

Are all the 5620 series monitors the same? Your first link is to a different model (4321 instead of 4801). They all look the same though.

 

[RichardE]

Yeah they are, I checked that.

The cheaper screens have a 6 month warranty.

screen warranty? does it cover breakage? does it cover the backlight? what goes wrong with an LCD? really

One is glossy and the other is a matte finish. Some people complain that the glossy finish screens have a nasty reflection problem, especially in the sunlight, where as the matte doesn't reflect light nearly as much.

That's the difference between the first link and the first screen on the 2nd link.

The glossy on the second link is 10$ less though.

Yeah, that would be why mcmilljb said the more expensive one only has a 90 day warranty.
