I'd spring for the extra 120px if you can. I have a Samsung 24" on my desk that's been fantastic. I replaced one of my Dell 19" non-widescreens with it. Still have a Dell 19 and an HPQ 20 (non wide) as well.
The Samsung doesn't do portrait mode but for me that's fine as I upgraded to it primarily for spreadsheets and project plans.

I currently have a Samsung 20in (not widescreen) 203B LCD monitor which I LOVE and a lower-end Dell 19in LCD display which I will replace. How much should I care about max resolution of 1920x1080 vs. 1920x 1200? It will be primarily used for computer work and the occasional game (nothing cutting edge though) and I run my 20in monitor at 1600x1200. I'm thinking I would miss the additional pixels going down to 1080 on the vertical side. Been a while since I've shopped monitors, what should I look for? I'm guessing this will be big enough that I might watch occasional hi-def stuff although I don't currently do that (no other HD screens exist in my house yet). From my little searching the Samsung T240HD looks like a winner...
