I just bought a PC that came with an Acer LCD and I also have my old Gateway LCD. One of them has to go. Please help me decide which one should I keep for primarily photo editing and office productivity/tasks.

Panel size: 21 inches (diagonal)
Panel type: 21 inch viewable TFT active matrix S-PVA
Anti-glare coating
Pixel resolution : 1680 x 1050 (native) (75 Hz)
Pixel pitch: 0.0106 x 0.0106 inches (0.270 mm x 0.270 mm)
Aspect ratio: 16:10
Brightness: 300 cd/m2
Contrast ratio: 1000:1
Viewing angles: 178° horizontal, 178° vertical
Response time: 16 ms or 8 ms (gray to gray)
Frequency: Horizontal: 31-81 KHz Vertical: 56-76 Hz
Lamp type/life: 50,000 hours
Colors: 16.7 million
Connections and inputs:
Analog (VGA): 15-pin mini d-sub VGA
Digital (DVI-D): 24-pin DVD-D (supports 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i). Includes HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
Composite video
S-Video
Component Y Pb Pr (supports 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i)
USB 2.0 B-type (input)
USB 2.0 A-type (output x4)
Audio power (only for the Gateway speaker bar accessory)
Power consumption: 75W
#2: Acer P206HV (20" LED)
Specs: http://www.support.acer.com/acerpanam/MONITOR/2010/Acer/P206HV/P206HVsp2.shtml
Series Name: P206HV
Display: 20-inch (diagonal) Widescreen LCD
Active Display Area: 17.43 × 9.81 inches (442.80 × 249.08 mm)
Pixel Pitch: 0.276 mm
Maximum Resolution: 1600 × 900
Maximum Refresh Rate: 60 Hz
Screen Treatment: Non-Glare
Panel Technology: Twisted nematic (TN)
Response Time: 5ms
Contrast Ratio: Dynamic: 5,000
Brightness: 200 cd/m2
Viewing Angles (CR = 10) Horizonal: 170° Vertical: 160°
Number of Colors: 16.7 million
Input Signal: VGA
DVI (w/HDCP)
Speakers: Two 1W Speakers (optional)
VESA Wall Mounting 100 × 100 mm
Power Consumption : (Energystar On) 27.2W (typ.)
I know both of these are not great LCDs, but sounds like the Gateway is a better bet for photo editing and the Acer would do better with gaming and movies, correct?
Thank you!
