    I bought six of them (191Ts) after hearing praise from Nitro and the gang - they are awesome.

  2. I too looked at all the reviews and saw a few in-store. I ending up buying the Samsung 181T (18 inch, before the 19 inch 191T came out). I have an Acer LCD sitting next to it and the Samsung blows it away in terms of clarity.

    It's absolutely fantastic. Samsung make various models. Stick with the ones that end with letter "T" - they are simply the best out there!

    Digital vs Analog? (the Samsungs have input for both). Digital is better but only incremental so it's debatable whether it's worth getting a new video card just for that purpose.

    Bottom line? If you can't afford the 191T, get the 181T. If you can't afford the 181T, get the 171T (is it is 172T?). Whatever you do, just get a Samsung "T". You'll never look back.

  3. It does help. Thanks everyone.

    3vian, I've never heard of Hyundai as a manufacturer of LCD monitors. Are they the same as the car company?!?

    Do you have a URL for them?

  4. what capacity power supply in your pc do you have to have in order to drive 6 or even 8 191t's? using 2 Matrox 200 MMS cards?

    Thanks

    The PS in the PC is not really an issue as far as the monitors go. FWIW, I have a 400W power supply, but that is because I have dual Xeons.

    I am driving eight monitors with 2 G200 MMS quads and 1 G550 Dual DVI (this setup supports ten.)
