Jesus dude, just take it back to the store if you bought it locally and get another. Otherwise call Samsung and have them deal with it. Does it really matter if they only fix or completely replace it? Anything is better than that.

Take it back to the store for a replacement or call Samsung and thell them it broke. In case you forgot, they have a 3 year warranty.

I have Windows updated as much as possible, but I'm using the last 60 series driver released. If I use a later version this computer runs into all sorts of problems. OpenGL screensavers don't work and a few other miscellaneous things aren't right either. If I connect the monitor to the DVI...

I have no choice but to use an old computer while some RAM gets RMA'd, but I'm having an issue with my monitor now. The computer is a Pentium II 450MHz with 128MB RAM and a GeForce 5900xt AGP under Windows 98SE. The drivers for both the video card and monitor are installed and working...

There is a little bit of bleeding, but a problem? No.

Answer is No. 1. I personally have not tried it 2. Movies look amazing on this screen. Dark ones like The Matrix look perfect, as well as normal movies. I have noticed some visual artifacts similar to jpeg compression on certain movies, but I believe that's a problem with how DVD's are encoded...

I'm not sure what the deal is, but on my 205bw I can see blacks at RGB=3,3,3. I have not seen one other person with the same results. My old 19" CRT was also at 3,3,3. For reference, my settings are as follows: Brightness: 55 Contrast: 70 MagicColor: Off Color Tone: Normal Color Control...

Game is sold. Thank you.

Added details for the ViewSonic CRT below the FFVII pics.

Price lowered to $50. What difference does "Greatest Hits" make? The game is still the same and it's still hard to find. That comment is borderline thread crapping as well...

The only downsides to this monitor are the viewing angles and the TINY amount of backlight bleeding. The way my brightness and contrast is set the bleeding is virtually non-existent. Viewing angles are not a problem because I'm always looking at it head-on. Some people complain about the lack...

That very largely depends on the type and quality of the panel. The 215tw is one of the better panels on the market in that price range, so blacks will look pretty black. However, it does have minimal backlight bleeding in the corners.

If you do a lot of work in photoshop then you'd be a lot better off with a different type of panel. (think samsung 215tw) TN panels such as the ones you bought do not reproduce colors as well as M/PVA panels. From my experience, the 205BW does an excellent job, however. As far as choosing one...
