Two Acer monitors: What's the diff?

[Vizy]

I looked at the basic (given) specs of each monitor. They match perfectly. But all i know about the Circuit City one is that it is a P series, a perfomance minded monitor. I do not know anything about the Costco one.

The one at CircuitCity:

The one at CostCo:

Thanks guys!

I tried to look up the specs for each monitor on the acer site.

for the circuit city one, this is the closest one i found(p221wd, not p221wbd)
http://us.acer.com/public/page4.do?link=oln56.redirect&dau22.oid=37787&UserCtxParam=0&GroupCtxParam=0&dctx1=25&CountryISOCtxParam=US&LanguageISOCtxParam=en&ctx3=-1&ctx4=United+States&crc=1054289603#inu57_51788

for the costco one, i found an exact match on the canada site.
http://www.acer.ca/public/page4.do?link=oln56.redirect&dau22.oid=29535&UserCtxParam=0&GroupCtxParam=0&dctx1=27&CountryISOCtxParam=CA&LanguageISOCtxParam=en&ctx3=-1&ctx4=Canada&crc=15353028#inu57_48709

the only difference, i can find is the marketing. the circuit city one is marketed as a gaming/media viewing monitor whereas the costco one is marketed as a home office/media viewing monitor. every spec that they both have listed is identical.

So go for the Costco one right?

I have the money to buy the p=series, and i am willing to pay if you think it is worth the extra 30$

I'm willing to bet possibly one has a matte screen and one is glossy.
