Why in the world would they go to a TN panel. I HATE TN panel. I had the Samsung 226BW panel that was a TN panel and my LG246W blows it away in every regard. The viewing angles of TN panels are horrendous. Compare the color at the top with the color at the bottom and let me know how it...

I can't believe there are 115 pages of posts and 90% of them are whether you have a A or S or C or whatever panel you have. It doesn't matter. I've had both and saw very little difference. In fact, I had to send back my S panel because it was 'blotchy' and got an A panel in return. It was...

Well that's all real cute but you same Vista haters were the ones saying how bad XP sucked when it came out too. Vista is fine. It isn't perfect but to put a 5 or 6 year old OS on a new machine is stupid. There are bound to be some compatibility problems so if you don't have a fix, how...

Thanks but I have UAC off and am logging in as an admin. Do you happen to know the folder it might be trying to write to? I've heard this might be from the nvidia drivers too but it is frustrating not to be able to play online and no one seems to give a rats back side.

Anyone ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same problem.

I think it is still very painfully obvious. I had the 226BW and I finally sold it and bought a 24" non-TN panel. The Samsung is a fine product but I just couldn't get used to the TN panels. As long as you know what you are getting, I think the Samsung is as good a product as any, but it...

I completely agree. All the BS over the S vs A vs C panel stuff is way, way over blown. I owned both and A and an S and once you get the settings to where you like it, I doubt you'd ever notice the difference. But... Having said all of the above, I sold my 226BW. I just can not stand...

I owned the 226BW. It's a fine product and I like Samsung stuff but I have to tell you, I was just never quite happy with it. Nothing against Samsung, but I just can not tolerate the viewing angle of the TN panels. It is just way too obvious even when sitting directly in front of the monitor...

Well, I hate to say it but I took the Westy back. It isn't a bad monitor and I wouldn't feel bad about recommending it, especially for the $379 price at BB but I did notice some input lag when playing Crysis. I took it back and bought an LG L246WPQ. I have to say that I think the LG is a...

I picked up this monitor last night. I also have a Samsung 22" 226BW. This monitor is much better in picture quality and a millions times better for viewing angle. There might be a slight input delay but I'm not even sure what that is... do you mean a brief delay before the mouse moves in a...

Ok, bear with a newbie. I'm considering buying an Xbox Elite. I've never had a console before. I'm more of a pc gamer. I have two questions.. I have a 22" Samsung 226BW monitor. No HDMI input but I understand I can get the adapter and run it into the DVI input. I also use this monitor...

To the extent that this forum has made a big deal of it. No. It is waaaay overblown. I've had both and think the A might have looked better. If there is a difference it is very very subtle and 99% of the people will never notice it. The monitor must be calibrated though since the default...

If you take this monitor out of the box and plug it in, yeah, it looks bad. It needs to be calibrated, either with your video card software or a hardware device like the spyder2. I've done it both ways. The Spyder does a great job but while the colors looked good I preferred to have the...

What you are seeing with your Start button being brighter probably isn't bleed - it' the viewing angle. Move your head down so you are looking straight at the Start button, not looking down at it and I think you'll find the button is much better. While there, look at the top of the screen and...

Ok, here is what I have found. I have both an A and an S panel. After reading all the crap about the two, I decided to test it for myself. I bought the first one from CC and got an A. I heard NewEgg was shipping S panels. I ordered one from NewEgg, it came today. It is a ........ S...
