Hi everyone,

Just wondering if OCUK will be selling the new Samsung XL2370 Monitor, it seems to be ready for release soon and just wondering as I'll be making this purchase.

Thanks
 
The monitor is expected to become available starting October 12 and will go on sale for an estimated street price of US$299.

If that's the US then expect it here in a few weeks. Some sites are showing release dates of 21/10/09 so it should be here soon, retail should be around £280-£310.

when released, this should be one of the best monitors around

Alright. I emailed Samsung asking them but they haven't got back yet, so I don't know.

Between the Samsung XL2370 and the Dell Ultrasharp 2209WA what would you choose? (more just from speculation as I don't think there's many proper reviews on the XL2370 yet?).
 
Got this email back:
"As Samsung do not sell directly to retailers we are unable to advise exactly when this product will be available to purchase. Inthis case we would suggest checking with retailers online websites as these should be available soon."

So....Meh, hopefully should be in the coming weeks.
 
I've seen it on Google Shopping but it's just been American Websites, for the release seems to be quite pricey £300+ , this monitor is said to be retailed at £180, so I'm defo going to be waiting a couple of months after release, it will be a rip-off to buy this monitor on the launch period as it's selling for double the RRP and it's a 23" TN Panel Monitor, so it shouldn't be that expensive.

Considering that LED panels are cheaper to make than LCD as well :3

Might just end up going with the Dell Ultrasharp if these are gonna be too costly. If they're gonna be £310, and you can get the new 24" Ultrasharp for £400, not really gonna be worth it methinks.

Based on the spec sheets, this samsung monitor only uses a TN panel. Sure, it is LED backlit - but this doesn't improve an inferior panel technology. I find these Cnet reviews to be fantastic, they never have a bad word to say about anything. This is rather nice and polite, but it doesn't help people choose monitors.

To clarify, I would definitely go with the Dell 2209WA, it is the better monitor for the vast majority of people.
 
i would go for the Samsung. i still cant justify the price of IPS panels (especially dells). With a LED backlit screen the difference is becoming even lower between the two. to call TN panels "inferior panel technology" would, IMO, be wrong.

True, I can see the LED Monitor's competing with IPS Panels.
How would you think this matches up to the T260HD? I'm thinking of going with it since it's got a bigger screen and resolution, and tuner, so it's more what I need.

LED backlights don't narrow the gap between TN and IPS (and VA) at all. No backlight technology can fix TN's terrible viewing angles or enable it to actually show real 8-bit colour. Those are inherent flaws in TN panel technology.

The advantages of LED backlighting a TN panel are mostly to do with reducing the size and power consumption of the monitor.
