I came across this after I did a google search when I came across a 223BW monitor for sale for £170 inc.
"At the end of the June, Sunsung will first release a clone of the current 226BW, the 223BW, for less expensive but it won’t be as reactive. It will have a 5 ms panel, and theoretically no possibility of activating the overdrive to go to 2 ms. Its expected price is around 300 euros, compared to the recommended 370 of the 226BW. While we know that the latter is found for as low as 335 euros, this could mean some good things for those who might opt for this younger sibling. Samsung specifies that all production of the 223BW will be with Samsung panels."
The last bit is quite interesting and with the state of the panel lottery on the 226BW, even though it's a slower screen I am quite tempted. It looks like it's the 226 without the overdrive.
ANybody confirm all of the above?
