So I am looking at these 2 Sammy monitors to use with my MBP.

Samsung SyncMaster 2253LW

Samsung SyncMaster 2232BW

http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...ubtype=lcd&model_cd=LS22PEBSFV/XAA&fullspec=F

Just trying to use the monitor in my room for watching movies and photo editing (Aperture). I don't want anything smaller or really anything bigger (I'm on a recession budget). Anybody have either one of these monitors or can anybody give input on these particular models.

Also, is there a problem with buying these as factory refurbs? I've never had problems with phone refurbs but was wondering if monitors might be pushing it. I ask because I can get either model for under $200 shipped.

All input is appreciated, thanks
