    Any one got?

    a Acer P243W monitor and is it any good???

    Currently running a Samsung SyncMaster2232BW (22" @ 1680x1050) which is great, but looking towards playing Blu-Ray, so presumably, despite the Samsung being HDCP ready I would be best of with a 24" @ 1920x1200 to achieve the full HD benefits?

    Is there really any huge difference in the picture quality of HD between the two resolutions other than obviously viewing size?

    Re: Any one got?

    Many people struggle to tell the difference between 720p (1280x720) and 1080p (1920x1080) on a 37" display and that's a huge difference in resolution on quite a large screen. With 22" and 24" displays being so similar in both size and resolution, I can't see there being a visible difference.

    That said, the Acer P243W looks to be a reasonable display, so I suppose it's down to how much you'd like those extra 2-inches.

    Keep in mind however that running games at 1920x1200 will be a bugger unless you have an awesome graphics card (or three ).
