should i wait for the 226cw?

i can't decide...mainly because nobody really knows if its good or not yet lol. i got the samsung 226bw c panel and its definately going back today. i've got a nice pixel stuck on dark blue near the middle of the screen, very very annoying. its still within the 'take it back because you can' period so screw 'em.

i just can't decide if i should get a refund and hold out until the 226cw comes out. it'll be hard going though.....getting used to this nice 22" of real estate and going back to a 17" wouldn't be easy. trying to decide if its worthwhile or not.

Umm if you have a Dead pixel, and your within return policy, your techincally not screwing anyone?!?

You are techincally not satisfied with the product, and obviously you have the right as a consumer to return it for refund / exchange.

Goodluck

yeah true that. i might just get another 226bw since the colours seem fine to me. more would be nice, but its not that much less than my old crt. from what another poster was saying a few days ago, supposedly most crt's only have about 80% of ntsc anyways so 72% is ok by me.

after a fun time at FS i got my hands on an A panel. from what i've read they're just as good as an S panel if you adjust them so i'll give this one a shot.so far it looks a bit better, no backlight bleed at all which i'm ecstatic about! no dead pixels as of yet.

a word of advice for anyone using FS or BB - their return policy states that you can return anything for really no reason at all within 14 days (either that or 15) but thats from original purchase date. so if you get something like this, exchange it because you got a dead pixel (even though it wouldn't be considered a defect) you still only have that short time from when you bought the first one. so the way around it is to ask for a refund and then go buy another and start the cycle over
