Samsung 23" or 24" Display?

I'm looking for a new budget display to use as a secondary display for my new Mac Pro that I'll be buying in Jan/Feb.

I have had some previous advice from these forums asking for advice regarding different brands and I was advised to go for a Samsung over others such as Dell and Hyundai.

Therefore, I have seen 2 samsung monitors that fit the bill. One is a SM-2343BW which is a 23" with a 2048 x 1152 resolution and the other is a 2443BW which is a 24" with a 1920 x 1200 resolution but costs £40 more than the 23".

Which one would you advise to go for? The 23" is £189 and the 24" is £230.

 

I've just been looking at the spec sheets for these 2 monitors and I hadn't realised that due to the strange resolution of the 23" screen, the dimentions are also strange. The height of the 23" is 32.5cm where the 23" ACD that I already have is 53.6cm.

As I am going to be using these 2 screens side by side, would I be better off looking for a screen with the same (or very close) height to the ACD?

 

Do you find the colours ok though? I've just looked at the measurements of the 24" and the height is 17.6" where the ACD is 17.7" so pretty close which is probably due to the ultra thin bezel on the Samsung. Any idea what the difference is between the 2443bw and 2443bwx?

 

Thanks, I'm still tempted to go for a 23" ACD but I'm just having a hard time justifying spending £450 on a secondary display when I've already got one 23" ACD for my main one...would be nice to have 2 matching displays though
