I'm eyeing the ViewSonic VX2025WM and Samsung SynchMaster 204B. Both seem to be good monitors but each have their drawbacks. I'm not necessarily looking for a good gaming screen, rather one that has sharp clarity, true color rendering for graphics, and higher than 1280x1024 res. It also has to be usable with Linux (xorg-x11/gnome).
I like the adjustability (rotate, pivot, etc) of the 204B but the widescreen 2025 is awfully tempting. Any opinions on these two monitors? Can anyone give a first-hand comparison? Any other recommendations for the same price range?
Also, I have a Radeon 9200 LE card. Will it handle the native resolution of either of these monitor? I think it will do up to 1600x1200 but I don't know about 1680x1050.
