Help me choose.

I have been offered to buy one of two TFT monitors from work, but I can't make up my mind which one I should choose. They are brand new and comes with a 3 year warranty. I mainly play games and use photoshop. Occasionally I also watch movies and do some word processing. Here are the two screens:

21" TFT HP f2105 (1680x1050 @ 60Hz, contrast 1000:1, responsetime 8ms, 2xUSB 2.0 hub, HDTV-prepared, Picture in Picture, built in speakers)
Specs here: 21" TFT HP

24" TFT HP L2465 (1920x1200 @60Hz, contrast 1000:1, responsetime 8ms, 4xUSB 2.0 hub, pivot function)
Specs here: 24" TFT HP

So which one is the one to get and why?

Those are your only two choices? Both very poor color reproduction being PVA.. You'd benefit more from an S-IPS like Apple uses or if you can choose any HP chose this one

As to why. Better color. Faster. Better veiw angles.. those displays you linked basically fib and quote grey to grey response while on/off is closer to 20ms. True 16ms beats 20 just like Kris says in review.. (Dell 2405 is same thing as HP you linked)

Will it really be that huge of a difference? I'm not in the category "ultra enthusiast". Will I experience bad colour and contrast, or wierd negative effects caused by bad responsetime with my two choises? <--in gaming that is.

I'm sitting here with a Viewsonic P95f+ CRT, and my eyes get tired after a while, it has exellent colours and brightness though. Will my two choises be a step down from what I have now?

I can also chose there two, but they are smaller.

19" TFT HP VS19e [can't find a link] (1280x1024 @75Hz, contrast 800:1, responsetime 8ms, USB 2.0 hub, pivot function)

20" TFT HP L2065
