19" Dell monitor or 22" Dell monitor?

[zoe]

I was looking at these two minitors which are available with the Dell Vostro 200 MT desktops... D08V02


E198WFP 19-inch Widescreen Flat Panel

Dell UltraSharp E228WFP 22-inch

The 22-inch monitor isn't much more expensive than the 19-inch monitor, also they both use the same wattage.

I suppose the 22-inch monitor would be the one to go for? Unless anyone knows if the 19" monitor is better for any reason...?

speaking of monitors - I've recently moved house and found a new monitor still boxed in the house - its not a flat screen but it is free to a good home if anyone wants it

What's the native resolution of the two LCDs, and what will you be using it for? Remember 19" LCD is actually 21" CRT, which is already quite big for close up work. Unless the 22" gives you more pixels, it might be too big. Though that won't be an issue if you are using it mainly for games/video.

Update: reading the links, it looks like the pixels are actually slightly smaller on the bigger screen. So my points aren't really relevant.
