Comment: Great Bang for Buck Rating:
I've owned this monitor for almost 3 months now and think its the best purchase I've made in a long time. The size of the monitor, the resolution, and the ability to rotate are just some of its great features. I use it for various reasons, but I was suprised how great it is with games. I play graphic intensive games and I notice absolutely no refresh rate problems that apply to many lcds. I notice no differece between it and my old crt's refresh rate. I researched buying a new large lcd and found that this was the best bang for the buck. You will especially enjoy it if you think, as I do, that Bigger is Better!

Comment: Good buy Rating:
I use this monitor exclusively for gaming. It's hooked up via DVI-D to an nVidia GeForce FX 5950 card. I have nothing bad to say about the monitor's performance - the games I play look spectacular with it.

I am used to a Sony Trinitron 19" CRT and now, when I look at the CRT alongside this Samsung LCD? The CRT looks terrible :)

Best part of this Samsung LCD? The blacks are REALLY black. When I use xterms the clarity of the text is out of this world.

If you can afford ~$1200, I really recommend this monitor to anyone.

Comment: Wish I researched Samsung's replacement policy before buying Rating:
Bought two of these monitors about two weeks ago. Both came with several dead pixels right next to each other forming an annoying blimp on the screen. Samsung agreed to replace both units. However, when the replacements arrived today, they turned out to be refurbished and with MUCH greater problems. One had a horrible color problem where one edge of the screen has one shade and the other another. Much worse when looked at from an angle. Another replacement was too dim even with brightness set to 100. Both refurbished monitors had many dead pixels. Apparently, this is acceptable to Samsung.
Beware! Samsung will only replace with refurbished monitors, so if yours comes defective, you are out of luck trying to replace for a new unit.
Needless to say, I will never buy Samsung again.
