EDIT: Sorry, title is supposed to be 2253BW OR 2253LW?

These two monitors are exactly the same price:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-096-SA

And as far as I can tell, there is just a 0.4inch screen-size difference between the two. So now I'm in a dilemma. Shall I go for the full 22" 225BW? Or go for the 21.6" 225LW?

The reason for considering the smaller 21.6" LW is that since both models use the same resolution (1680 x 1050), each pixel on the 21.6" will be smaller than the 22" BW. Therefore the overall picture will appear more crisp and precise? This may not essentially be noticeable in games, but when browsing the internet/using office applications it certainly would?

And just for the record, I'm not bothered at all about a 0.4inch cutoff, but if that gives me a better picture than a full 22" screen, then I certainly am interested.

Cheers for any help/advice.

£235 for 20,000:1 Contrast Ratio? And that's Dynamic aswell, which is pretty crappy to be honest. No thanks.
