    Cool LCD's Matte or Gloss??

    I'm in the market for a 19 or 22" LCD Monitor real soon but I have a question. For gaming, do you prefer the glossy glass screen or the matte screens? Also.. are there any good reasons to buy a 21.6" LCD?

    Thanks guys.

    From what I've heard (my experience is limited to a couple laptops) the glossy ones are slightly better looking, but they love to accumulate fingerprints and scratches.

    Bigger is better?

    Definitely matte. The glossy ones are also prone to hideous amounts of glare.

    Yes, gloss can have glare. So Matte for gaming. But for graphic design, the colors look better with gloss.

    The monitor I'm looking at right now is a 20" Samsung 2053BW. It has a glossy finish, but it looks sooo nice! lol.. I play a lot of games and I hope my video card can keep up. ATI 2600xt 512mb PCI-E. Anyone know anything about this monitor? It's a pretty good deal right now at $219 CAN. Hmmmmm...
