Anybody running these? I was thinking about buying a few. Let me know what you think of them compared to the Dell's.
I have an older one. Works just fine, but large bezel, so its a waste of space if you put several next to each other. Jay
Why not get a few of these at $489.50 retail at CompUsa? No shipping worries and you get a few weeks to try them out...before deciding.. Sure maybe you will save some dollars with Envision...but not enough... Go with Samsung, they are the monitor-leaders...and they have done it again with this model...970 P at 1000:1 contrast ratio. http://www.xyzcomputing.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=482&Itemid=2 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64242 Michael B.
There are several tabs to page through in link one...read it...you will see why I just bought two of them...These will last till the next generation of monitors... There are certain times and prices to buy...get the sweet spot! and the time to enjoy Michael B. P.S. The next time to buy is when the 23" LCD monitors come down in price...but we must endure the introduction period of the 21" LCD's first...in 3-5 years I will be ready... P.P.S. It's tough to price shop this model...the prices have leveled off...it is a benchmark...just buy convienence and go to your local CompUSA...forget the internet deals for now...on this model. I got 10 bucks off each one because the salesman liked me at the store...(very rare). by the way never buy that crap warranty they try to sell you...the monitor has a three year manufacturer warranty (save your 75 bucks!)
By the way Samsung has an awesome 19" detachable monitor on their new Notebook computer in Japan... Sony and Samsung are really great companies... Dell just puts their name on stuff... sorry to detract...
One of the PC magazines did their "Best Manufacturer of 2005" reader's poll and showed Samsung and Viewsonic tied for 1st place in LCDs... Dell was 3rd.
