More activity on the net talking about this monitor now (from a few days ago anyway) Seems the conectivity and non adjustible height seems the main issues if any.
Personally i would like to know how people compare this to the Dell 2007 as this was the monitor that i was planning on getting up until this beast came on the scene.

I would imagine the Dell is still a superior monitor, but the price of the 206BW and 226BW make them very appealing nontheless.

They are still pretty close on proce though, is'nt the 226bw going to be about £250 and the dell is £280 ish.....
One thing that would swing me is the 1:1 mapping, pretty sure the Samsung does this, if so then i may be tempted, as the outputs are not a big thing for me.
Where's a nice group test when you need one ! ?

Without trauling back though this post, does the dell and the samsung use the same panel tech?

dis · 13 Feb 2007 at 14:48

I've been waiting for this for about 3 weeks now, got one ordered and hopefully it'll live up to the early reviews. No 1:1 mapping according to earlier comments in this thread, but that won't bother me.

TheDean · 13 Feb 2007 at 14:52

I'm still struggling to understand 1:1 mapping - is there a link someone could give me?

Going to try r6 vegas later
Not watched any dvd's yet
Browsing the net is great in 22" widescreen

Ordered it from somewhere else before OCuK put it on there website
Hopefully someone will do a better review in next couple of days and not a dead pixel in sight.

TheDean · 13 Feb 2007 at 15:04

I don't mind reviewing it when I get mine, but it won't be for a couple of weeks....

Doubt it, either the deliver date has been pushed back or the first allocation has been sold
"ETA: 16/02/07"

Guru · 13 Feb 2007 at 18:29

The date for mine has been pushed back too.

Should have been tomorrow, but they are saying next week now. :rolleyes:

/edit oops double post :/

sajtion · 14 Feb 2007 at 04:51

hdcp is not true hdmi and only 300 brightness is very disappointing. i would have liked 450 at least
