L227WT vs. W2252TQ which one is better?

[goatfarmer]

I am looking at these two monitors, debating which one is the better one to purchase:

I will be using it for gaming(Everquest and WoW), general internet use, and picture viewing. I notice that the specs are almost identical, other than the L227WT has WCG(Wide Color Gamut). I understand WCG a bit, but not a whole lot. Would this WCG be of any benefit for my use? Or would it be a hindrance? I will be using an EVGA 8800GT or 8800GTS video card, E8400 cpu, and Windows XP. Which monitor should i choose?????

This might sound funny, but i have them both.
Personally i can not see any difference in picture quality between them.
But i do see some advantages in L227WT. But they are small. Power button is much easier to push on L227WT since it is regular disk button. And this model also has rotating stand, and W2252TQ has not.
They are slightly different in design also. My wife likes W2252TQ for its roundness and i don't like its bottom gray line.
So, mate, choose what you like most. I can assure you, that WoW looks great on them both, i play it on both 😀

The L227WT is amazing. My brother has it and it is absolutely awesome. I work at Best Buy and see these panels everyday, and the 227WT absolutely stands out on the 22-inch section. The wide color gamut is worth it and will not hinder you at all.
