Samsung SM-931BW

[Streeteh]

I'm currently looking for and upgrade from my old viewsonic 17" tft. As you would guess from the topic, the Samsung SM-931BW 19" is a monitor that interests me but unfortunately reviews are scarce. Has anyone had any experience with these monitors? I mostly use my PC for media playback but do occasionally play games and one day hope to connect a PS3 via a hdmi -> dvi cable. I assume this monitor would be fine for all of these uses?

Cheers in advance.

I would have posted sooner but I just had a bit of an enforced time away from the boards for the use of 'swearies'

I got the Samsung 931bw myself about 2 weeks ago now and it really is great. Features-wise it is basically just the little brother of the 226bw, so it has the same panel specs and the same glossy black bezel with silver stripe.

I don't do any work with photos, but for the gaming/browsing/office work/movie-watching I have done on it so far, I've not seen a single thing to complain about. Well I lie...there is a solitary dead pixel that I can only see when the entire screen is black. There's also some backlight bleeding again with a pure black image, but it really is minimal.

Methinks you'd be a happy customer if you decided to buy one.

Just got mine setup and am well chuffed with it!
Not a dead pixel in sight either
