Interesting - just had a quick look and I can't see the 20" (2007FP) listed,
the 2009WFP is at �227.

(I'm still trying to decide on a 24? - just missed a 2407 on e-bay which
went for �280, which outbid my offer - rats).

The reduction in cost of the widescreen ones is coming from the TV
market.

That said, the 2007FP 20" is a very nice monitor and you get more real
estate than on the non-widescreen models. This is 1600 x 1200 Pixels
compared to the 2208WFP's 1680 x 1050.

We've tended to go for the 2007FP and those of us with them are very
happy. Education pricing on these is also much keener so you're looking
at �247 compared to �219, give or take VAT and extra discount.

Kind regards,

Dave
