Advice on which Computer Monitor to buy

I just thought that maybe I'll upgrade, so I've been thinking about a Hanspree HF-289HJB: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1200703080130

And the Samsung T260: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1213047093005

I do some minor gaming, but I'm more concerned as to which has better colors since I do photoshop art. I also watch movies from my computer, and I was debating whether or not to hook my PS3 up to it. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

TN panels have very limited viewing angles which makes color work very difficult, spend a few more bucks and get a good display, My best advise would buy a Samsung 245T,still a TN panel but way better color due to back light, I just checked, they used to make a 245Tplus that had a SPVA panel, but no more. There is a 275Tplus, maybe more than you want to spend. I do use a 275T Plus and 215TW, both SPVA panels, they completely blow away the 245BW (TN panel) out of the water for color work. TN panels great for gaming as they are very fast. Hope this helps. Good luck.
