    Samsung 226BW 22": 3000:1 Contrast, 2ms response time

    The fonts on this forum aren't the slightest bit grainy on my 226BW. Although I imagine that totally depends on what font you are looking at, and in what size. Anyways I haven't noticed any issues. I'm telling you, people, you really should at least look at this monitor before you decide...

    Acer AL2216WDB VS Samsung 226BW

    I can't compare directly since I've never seen the Acer other than in-store displays, but I love my Samsung 226BW for gaming, photos and all-purpose use. But, you have them both right there. Why not compare them yourself, and let the rest of us know which of them YOU prefer?

    Samsung 226BW 22": 3000:1 Contrast, 2ms response time

    Just read through any of the forum threads here and you will soon discover what backlight bleeding is. But, who cares? If you can't tell that your screen has it without knowing what it is, then it is clearly not a problem for you. There is little need to invent problems for yourself and then...

    Samsung 226BW 22": 3000:1 Contrast, 2ms response time

    It's unlikely that it was vid card related and was most likely a screen setting. My monitor came out of the box on the cool side, and that was quickly remedied by adding red via onscreen controls. I'm sure IF the two panels were side by side, AND you were standing relatively close to the...

    So basically, there is no 22 inch monitor that's worth it right now?

    get the Samsung 226BW. I wasn't sure until I got it. And that crap about how it is only theoretically possible to look at a monitor from head on made me laugh out loud. Although the statement is generally true in practice, there is no way this is going to affect you unless you like to...

    Dell 2007WFP vs. SAM226BW

    Hear, hear. It is so refreshing to hear someone trust their eyes rather than going on and on about the specs. For the record I love my Sammy 226BW even though it's only been 3 days. and mavro, if you got the monitor at CC the store will retain a 15% restocking fee. So you'll be losing...

    Samsung 226BW 22": 3000:1 Contrast, 2ms response time

    don't know about the specifics, but my subjective viewing angle tests demonstrate a 179 degree horizontal viewing angle as far as I'm concerned, with the only effect of horizontal angle shift being a slight dimming and darkening of whites as one approaches the screen more and more at an angle...

    Samsung 226BW 22": 3000:1 Contrast, 2ms response time

    I just got my 226BW and it is excellent. No true focal backlight bleed even in the dark--just some very dim diffuse glow that I only notice when my eyes adjust to the dark. Lowered the brightness from 100% to 80% and lowered gamma to the middle of the three settings. Color is a bit cooler...

    Samsung 226BW 22": 3000:1 Contrast, 2ms response time

    Alright, thanks. Just bought a coupon and planning on buying the screen online for in-store pickup the instant they are back in stock in NYC.

    Samsung 226BW 22": 3000:1 Contrast, 2ms response time

    Two?? No wonder there aren't any in stock for the rest of us ;P How did you get them at that price? An online coupon, or a store sale? Looking forward to any photos/opinions!

    LCD Desk Arms/Wall Mounts

    Hey all, I'm planning on buying an LCD soon and I'd like it to be easily maneuverable as well as not take up any desk space. Therefore I've been thinking about getting a desk arm for it or perhaps mounting it on the wall above my desk (VESA 100). However, these both seem to go for $100-200...

    LG L226WT 22" 3000:1 Contrast

    The only thing the manufacturers need to do now to "give us what we want" is: 1. Stands that are nicer-looking/more sleek (think Dell), and are actually fully adjustable. I'll accept a $10 increase in price for that alone. 2. Keep signal aspect ratio/1-1 pixel mapping. How much would...
