Dell 19" 1905FP LCD vs 2005FPW 20.1" LCD

Hey guys! TFP is awesome. I learn something all the time from everyone. Thanks once again.

I'm looking to replace my very good 17.5" sony crt (CPD 100-VS) from the mid 90's with an LCD to reduce eye strain, save power, and all that good stuff. Mainly for ergonomics.

I also have a tv that make a high pitched noise when plugged in, so I wanted to have a monitor that I could use for DVDs and - least importantly - for TV to replace the 19" tv.

Orrigianlly, I was looking for an LCD 19" or larger with a tv tuner built-in, but these deals are too hot to pass up.

My priorities are - (1) Computing (2) DVDs and a low (3) replacing my pain in the ass tv.

What do you think? Also, can you recomend a new video card for these with a tv tuner? Thanks

I have a NVIDA GeForce FX 5200 graphics card.


edit: I have a stereo w/ a sub as well as a dvd player (not in my PC), so i'm ok there. Another benifit will being able to get rid of the rf modulator and free up some more outlet space.
