I heard that the samsung is nice.

However, I love my HP w2207h. Tis a gorgeous screen, but due to the gloss is not really suitable for bright rooms. (5ms response, 1680x1050)

I have a samsung 226bw and I love it. The blacklight bleeding is not a problem. Only time you can spot it really trying is when you have a full black screen and it only bleeds about 1/2 to 1 inch at the bottom max.

The HP W2207h is good at color reproduction. The ASUS VW222U is a great monitor too.

Honestly, just stick with the Samsungs. They are great gaming monitors. You'll be happy with it.

I own an HP w2207h, truly a great gaming monitor once you tweak it a bit.

Glossy screen is meant for dark rooms. If you have a room with many windows and light seeps through, dont get anything with a glossy screen..

Otherwise, i really recommend HP w2207h
