YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I've just got the Samsung SM-215TW 21" LCD from b-stock for only £244.35 inc VAT & DELV (Retail price of these are around £450 :eek: )

And I've just checked the specs on samsungs website and it's say's it HDCP compatible through the DVI :D

Thankyou OcUK :)

You got it from B-grade? How was it when it arrived? Anything missing?

Oh yeah, congrats on a wicked purchase! :D

Not sure yet, It don't come until tommorrow, but I have rang up to confirm that I've got the screen and it's already been dispatched, woooo hoooo, I'll do a mini review when it arrives :) (my debit card is taking a real beating this year :( , but what the heck :D)

well I've just finished setting it up and all I can say is WOW, not even one dead pixel, it came in perfect condition with the original box, cables and manual etc, really nice quality through the DVI (HDCP Compliant), it has also got composite, s-video and component inputs + PIP which is pretty cool,

I'm really glad I got a 21" w/s I think its just the right size, I was desparate for a w/s but I could'nt help feeling that 20" was just a tad bit small if your coming from a 19" 4:3 panel.

Hi there

Glad you got a good deal but can you tell me what the condition of the packaging was like? Seals broken etc. and would you say the product had been used?

You've been very lucky anyway because it would appear this product should never have ended up in B-Grade but in clearance at a much higher price.

The box had already been open'd before as I could see a secound set of sellotape on the box, but the cables that came with it where all sealed and the monitor did'nt even have a finger print on it, the only strange thing was that on the Ocuk site it said it was black and on the invoice also, but as you can see i've got a silver one, not that I'm bothered.
 
Thinking about widesceen ?, Don't think about it, just do it !!!

Well, this being my first widescreen tft I have to say that chooseing to go w/s was the one of the best upgrades i've done, now when I look back at my 19inch LG I chuckle and wonder how ever I coped in squareville :D , if your reading this pondering as to wether to make the change to w/s then don't ponder just do it you won't regret it,

most new games now support w/s resolutions and many old games can be modded to support w/s, help can be found here.

I was a little worried that the increase in resolution from 1280x1024 to 1680x1050 would slow my games down but I can honestly say that I haven't noticed any difference in fps at all, I think this is partially due to my gpu being slightly cpu limited and the higher res helped take up some of the slack, this is the case in many systems.
