I'm thinking of the 24" but is there any real benifit of the 2 ms refresh time on the 22", (5 ms on the 24").

Thanks for your opinions

Go for the 24". The extra 3ms will not be perceivable by you. Plus you get more real estate for gaming.

I'd have to say the 24" because you can't actually see the difference and seeing as it is bigger you get more space to spread out your UI etc.

the 22" has a cooler stand

lol I'd get the 24", 3ms isn't that big of a difference. I didn't notice any difference when I changed from 8ms to 5ms. Bigger screen = win!

and Samsung make great monitors so ^^

Depends on your GPU. If it's old or crap you'd benefit more from the smaller screen.

Samsung SyncMaster is the way to go. Very reliable, great warranty, excellent quality. I have a 204b and 243T.

I do have one question tho, what kind of graphics card do you have?

Yeah. Games on the 24" won't look as good as you expect, unless if you've got a graphics card that can handle the games you play at its native res.

I'll second that. My Syncmaster 910MP was the best/most favorite monitor I've ever owned.
