Re: Matt vs Glossy - Best monitor for editing photo's

Hi,
Thanks so much for your advice. I think honestly I would ideally like to get two....which may be affordable to do in the used range. 
I was looking on craigslist and I came across these two that seemed like great buys and a huge upgrade from my current monitor...although not as good as current models of course. 
I figured if these were good enough for high end photo editing 4-5 years ago, they should still do excellent jobs not.
Is there any way you could take a quick look at these two and give me your advice?
One is a slightly older monitor, yet cheaper...but it is matte and I would think would be the best option for my eyes and editing. ($250 23" Cinema HD Display)

The other is a bit more expensive, a bit newer, and is the super bright (comparatively) and great looking monitor. It is glossy though and more expensive. ($350 24" LED Cinema Display)

I'm thinking that I should get one of these now and then a year or two down the road, I can always get the other for even far cheaper.
They are both about as low in price as they say they will go and both are in my price range for a used monitor. I suppose I could go to $500 for a brand new, but seems like I should go for a used highest end slightly older model, than a brand new mid-range current one. 
Or maybe you have a better suggestion?
Thanks so much for the advice!
Micah
