EDIT: title meant to be Monitor
Right now im stuck with a 16" wide screen that makes me feel like im working with a laptop
so i think now that i have pulled together enough money without spending it on games now is a good time to get a new screen
but im stuck between two really good options
a BenQ G2020HD for $169 or a Samsung 2033SW for $185
both company's have high standard and they have the exact same specs for each of these monitors
except the BenQ G202HD states that it is full HD when the samsung doesn't state this
heres the link to the screens :
Scorptec.com.au
Scorptec.com.au
which one should i buy

If you can save up a tad bit more get the BenQ G2420HD, you wont regret it.

I have a higher version of the samsung and im super happy with it but the BenQ seems like the better option.

if you saved a bit more money you could go 3d, and get this
Samsung.com
along with this stuff
Nvidia.com

but then id probably steal it from you =D

I personally made bad experiences with BenQ. It was a decent screen, but after exactly two years it broke down for no apparent reason. I'm not sure if that's BenQ's fault, but it kept me from buying another of the same.

a 120 Hz monitor is what im looking for so i can do 3D gaming
but does it just have to be 120  Hz because of this line of text
"Conventional displays split a 60 Hz signal into two 30 Hz images. The 2233RZ starts with a 120 Hz signal to create 3D with two fully 60 Hz images. "
it also states this when Tiger direct blog are reviewing the 3D vision
or does it have to be "3D vision ready"

thanks for all the suggestions
im going with the Hyundai 22" screen (suggested by ngs616)
seeing as 3D gaming didn't really kick off that well might as well stick to the usual before i waste to much money

i hate living in Australia all the prices are inflated way beyond the American price (even when converted)
and if i were to buy from tiger direct ill have to pay for shipping so it will end up all ruffly the same amount :(
