Hey guys, I'm trying to outfit the house with new widescreen LCD's, and for the most part I know about resolutions, but the only thing I can't figure out is- what is the difference between XGA and XGA+? Not the resolution, not the contrast, not the brightness, not the response time, what is it? Are they the same exact things?
And by the way, I'm trying to decide from ones below $250 and I'd MUCH prefer going into a store to buy it on the spot. So:
Should I get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824163130
It seems better than the rest (especially with the response time) but it's online and it's the "XGA" one without the + so I don't know if that's bad or not

This one I can get in store and it's got an AWESOME contrast ratio (700:1)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824021045
This one's another newegg and it's the cheapest I've seen, also it's from a company I know of but it doesn't have any special features
OR this one: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4659400
I'd be most happy if I could just walk into my Wal-Mart and in 20 minutes be home and have it hooked up, but like the Rosewill one above, there's no special features
Thanks guys
