Samsung 2253BW ($250) vs. Samsung T220 ($300)

[requiem1]

so which is better? I hear they both are almost exactly the same. The major difference to me was that the T220 has a built in TV Tuner. I currently don't plan to use my new monitor as a TV but....you never know...

Anyways, best bang for buck out of these? What difference do you all know of? Pros/Cons...etc. Tell me what you think!

From the spec tab at the 'egg:

Built in TV Tuner | No

Couldn't find mention of a tuner at Samy's site, either.

1. You don't plan on using your PC as a TV.
2. You say the T220, which it does not.
3. You want the "best bang for the buck".
4. Samsung lists the response times as...
2253BW - 5 ms, 2 ms (GTG) and the T220 - 2 ms (GTG).

Seeing as how the whole struggle over "tuner" vs "no tuner" is settled...
Go with the cheaper 2253BW.

Stop by the Samsung LCD web site. You can glean tons of information there. :laugh:
