need help deciding between the 2.
19inch wide seems to be the norm and standard.
but 20inch seems to be like a perfect fit.

how much differnece will there be in terms of size with that one inch.
19wide has a 1440x900 which is same as a 17inch wide.
20 has a 1680x1050 which is same as the 22inch.
will the extra resolution provide a big enough BOOST? will it make it better?
which is better for gaming n movies.... 19 or 20 inch.

if you pay 2k extra, 20" is worthy option.

17" wide has 1280x800 resolution
19" wide has 1440x900
20" has 1680x1050

20" will be a good buy to watch movies and to work on the computer. But if you plan to play games, then its best if you get a good graphics card so that you can play games at high resolutions with decent settings...

im looking at only dell.
the silver seems nice and simple. but im leaning more towards the black. had silver ones before but i still cant decide. the black one's stand looks more funky, but the silver one is simple and sorta matches the stands of my creative m4500. the black one's stand and button design is quite different from the silver one. both are good. i want them all to be matching.

which one do u guys think will go will with this cabinet?
