Has anyone had any handons experience with the, I assume new Samsung 2693HM 26" inch Monitor it retails for around £420 and I'm very tempted as the Dell 27" is out of my price range but I can't find any reviews on the Samsung panel.

It will be used mostly for gaming and my eyesights not brilliant so needs to be a resonably sharp clear image.

A 26" with 160\160 viewing angles...

That doesn't sound good!

I wouldn't recommend it.

Good luck!

Would have thought its worth saving up the extra and going for the dell 2707wfp when you have enough.

That's a thought, never bother to check what the viewing angle is on my new 2707
dell ! BTW don't waist your money on the Samsung get the Dell 2707wfp, I upgraded from a Viewsonic 201 to this wow everything is just much better.
