    I have 2 brand new monitors, and I want to sell one, just dont know which is a better monitor to have! I mainly use it for just my PC, and play lots of games on it. I also hook it up to my Xbox 360, so I use that in 1024x860 reslution. Which is the best of the two and why, and how much can I get for each? Please help

    HP w1907
    &
    Samsung SyncMaster 226BW

    Thanks

    1024x860? None of the resolutions the Xbox 360 uses are even close to that... :S
    Of those two monitors, the Samsung is bigger, supports a higher resolution and is one of the world's most popular games & multimedia monitors, with good reason. It is cheap because it uses a TN type panel, but considering this fact, its image quality is remarkable.

    I hope that you meant inexpensive, not cheap. :)

    I love my Samsung 245BW. :)

    So I take it the Samsung is a better option to keep over my HP? It just kinda sucks that it has no audio ports or anything, just a slot for vga and the white connect.

    Have you connected them, to your computer, to see how they look to you?

    The Samsung that you have is an excellent monitor. I know nothing about the HP.

    I just like the HP monitore b/c its a widescreen, and have tons of hookups in the back for audio, ect where as the Samsung only has the monitor cords (VGA). I havent used it on my PC, but I only used the Samsung strictly for my Xbox, but cant hook up an audio to it. I have this unique wire for my xbox that connects from the back of the xbox to a VGA connection along with a set of red and white RCA audio jacks.

    The Samsung is also widescreen, and monitor speakers are rubbish anyway, you should always be hooking up a console to separate speakers.
