I'm considering the Samsung T260 and will use it mostly for office work, programming etc. After reading reviews like http://hwt.dk/literaturedetails.aspx?LiteratureID=13857 (in Danish), I am concerned that I will be disappointed. Translated from the review: "For office work, text and graphics, I have to admit that the screen is a bit too big for the bad viewing angle. Text along the edges isn't "clear" and for graphics, there is a slight change of colors depending on your eyes' position to the screen."

Can any T260 owners comment on this?

I'm currently using a Dell 2001fp from 2005 (1600x1200). I believe it is an S-IPS panel. Apart from two replacements (uneven backlight), I've been very happy with it. Text is clear and colors look "right". It cost almost twice the price of a T260. Is there a chance that the Dell is in fact a better quality panel than the Samsung T260?

Any comments are appreciated. I really like the specs and the price on the T260, and I don't need the absolute best of the best screens, but it has to deliver for normal desktop use.
 
The Dell's panel is a much much much better panel than the crappy ass TN in the Samsung. If you want another nice panel, you could get the 27" 2707WFP or something along those lines.
