Here's a pic for you...My camera's crap, so i don't think you can really see too much detail in the pic. I will say that the NEC panel has much more clarity, more vibrant colors and you see very fine details, whereas the 226bw, the image is not as clear alot of the detail seems washed out, and it's not as bright.

Are you sure you have the 226bw adjusted correctly? You metioned brightness. I thought yours looked a little dark in the picture and mine can easily go as bright as your NEC. Mine was so bright I found myself getting headaches and squinting when I first got it. Anyway I wanted the NEC but couldn't justify the cost for a gaming LCD. The 226bw does a fantastic job handling games and Im happy with it

Check video Card, Clean contacts blowout the slot and reseat.
Deinstall video driver completely, power down then reinstall.
What brand size video card are you using?
The 3000:1 contrast ration on the Samsung 226BW is labelled "dynamic contrast," meaning they take black at the lowest brightness and white at the highest - maybe even fudging the contrast levels to get the greatest difference.Also the NEC is an IPS doesn't have the 2ms response time. 700:1 CR.
The samsung is simply geared to Gamers and performance.
The Price is a Plus.

The difference in price between the two in Canada, was only $100. (450 vs 550).
In the pic i took, brightness was set at 65, contrast at 80, and gamma at 1. I've turned the brightness up to 100 and it still can't compare to the NEC. I also find that it's difficult to stare at the samsung when the brightness is set to high, while it doesn't really bother me on the NEC.
Hi guys. I'm about to buy this 226BW monitor but I'm really undecided about it.
I had this 215TW before and it had so big input lag that I took it back after 1 week. Playing games was no go on this thing. So here I stand again looking at a monitor but yet again no input lag test for it.
Can someone please do a test with it. I need this monitor for gaming and only for gaming so it must be fast in video input response.
Another thing. I'm looking at the 226BW and 206BW which is supposed to be its little brother right. What is better for gaming and in general for surfing the web and so.
Having a 20" in 1680x1050 or 22" in 1680x1050. Can you see the difference in picture quality at all and does the bigger dot on the 22" screen play a role? I suppose if you have a dead pixel it will be bigger on the 22" screen right?
Edit: TO Collardgreens
Sorry but you didnt help at all lol. So what are you talking about. What is this A and S type of monitor? What is the difference on the paper or better yet why are you meantoining it if I may ask? YOu only managed to put another problem on my table now lol.
Also, I'm not sure but are all 22" wide screen consumer level monitors TN panels?
Would anyone possibly be able to show a size comparison of a 20" vs. a 22" I'm trying to decide if the extra 2 inches is worth the boost in price.

I just got the 226BW last night and it looks amazing in Windows. but I have not done any calibrations how do I do that? There wasn't much on the Samsung supplied CD.

226BW
I enjoy it for the speed and motion and clarity contrast.
The AUO panel is a TN screen. (Twisted Nematic)
The Samsung is a BTN III (Bistable Twisted Nematic) screen. quick response, better contrast, Wider View angle.
I'm no expert, But this is what I have found. These screens are two different species.
huh? how do you know they are different TN technologies from AUO and Samsung in the 226?
Is anyone else with the A panel finding 'noisy dithering' in the black colors? I set up a black->white and it looked awful no more than an inch from the left; I could see the pixels shifting colors (brown even) from two feet away. My S panel didn't do this; anyone else notice it? I can only really call it noisy dithering, because that's what it looks like to me.

Main problems with the 226BW are; Viewing angles "abominable", Light bleed top & bottom, dark tones flickering, Price
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 see how much darker it is.i am loving this monitor so far, i dont really care about the viewangles, since i only sit in front of the monitor.
I however, dont like the bleeding that occers at thje bottom of my screen. my start is brighter then the rest of the screen.
