Buying a new monitor...some advice needed

[gezuz]

I just purchased a samsung 204b off newegg.com because I heard all the good reviews and they're 290 after rebate. I'll post here after I receive it, which should be tomorrow.

So those of you that have both the Dell and Samsung, which one do you like best?

I have 2 2001FP's next to a 204B.

The 204B is WAY better.

I currently have a 17" dell flat panel, do you think it's going to look stupid next to my new 20" samsung? I'm wondering if stretching wallpaper across 2 monitors that are different sizes may look a little assy.

OK, one more thing... I noticed some 2+2ers have their monitors turned on it's side. How do you change your settings so your desktop is rightside up when it's setup like this?

Just got my 204b, and I can't set it to 1600x1200? Only options are for 1280x1024 or 1792x1344. Do I need to get a new video card for my laptop? Other than that, it looks really really good

Just ordered a 204B from pcconnection.com (aka macconnection.com). Found a promo code for free shipping on the web.

Enter "921689316" on the Billing page, during checkout (when you enter your credit card info). Knocked about $18 off ground.

I'm wondering the same. Is the Dell worth the extra ~100 more?

Yes it worth $100
