Samsung SM2433BW

I managed to get hold of a Samsung SM2433BW a few days ago for the bargain price of £200 inc vat :cool:

I've sent a review to badass so that shoud follow shortly but i'm fairly impressed with the performance for the price...

The settings straight out of the box leave a little to be desired with the brightness set to 100% and the contrast to about 90% it almost burned a hole straight through my retinas and the colour balance was tilting heavily towards the blue scale... However the bundled software is pretty good and only took me approximately 20 minutes to adjust to the settings that im happy with.

Here's a few pics:

What system, do you have? None of the Samsung software seems compatible with my card (4870 x2)

Umm, well a system waiting for some RMA's to be honest...

Currently it's:

E8600
Gigabyte EP45-DS3
4gb Ballistix
Evga 7900GT Ko 256mb
But i've just RMA'd my dead 9800GX2, so hopefully I will get a nice shiny new GTX 280 in its place as there's no stock about and it's EOL

Ok, clearly I'm daft, but I have the hardest time attaching the rounded base to the bottom of the screen. It looks like it'll only go in by using force. Did yours go in easily Monstermunch?

Just think of your secretary

Yea, the base piece is a little tight but mine went in fine... use them things called muscles
