I think they're the same except one is for the UK/Euro market (2130) and has SCART, and one is US (2030) and doesn't. They both do RGB. I have a 2030 and it's awesome.

I have a 2030, two of them actually. Great monitors but they weigh a ton. Seriously, get some help if you have to move them and be safe. If you end up getting the NA one that doesn't have SCART you can get a PVM RGB/SCART cable at http://www.retrogamingcables.com/

I can make up the BNC or 25 pin d-sub connectors if required, posting from USA too.

Aren't the 2030s very similar to the 1954q an 20m4u? If so, those aren't THAT heavy.
