Samsung BX2250 or Viewsonic VX2250wm

Hi,
I have been looking for a while and finally decided to buy between these two models. But i can't decide which is a better option. I am based in Pakistan so availability is an issue along with high price. Samsung BX2250 is around $250 and Viewsonic is VX2250 $225. I will be using it for watching movies and light gaming. Samsung BX2250 has HDMI port and 2ms response time but Viewsonic has better Dynamic Contract Ratio, DVI and 5ms response time. For my current setup HDMI and DVI are both available but HDMI seems like a abetter option since I don't plan on changing the display for good 1-2 years. Is it worth spending the extra $25 on the Samsung monitor?

I just wanna buy and get it over with but just can't decide 🙁

No advice guys? If you are thinking IPS panels are much better option well none of the IPS models are available here so I'm stuck with the TN panels.

The respond time is definitely better in Samsung, but the dynamic contrast ratio could be tricky because manufacturer rate them differently so it is difficult to tell who has better contrast. You need to see the screen and choose based on your preference.

Can you really tell the difference between 5ms and 2ms respond time? I doubt you can.

So you have to decide on whether you want to save $25 (neither is a bad brand).

Thanks.. I think I'm gona go with Samsung mostly because of the dual HDMI ports for future possible use.
