I've got an older 19" Samsung LCD, that I gave to my mom, when I upgraded to a 20" LCD. It is probably 3-4 years old now, still works great and nice picture quality.

This is so tempting... great price. I usually see it on sale for 200. I've had positive experience with Samsung monitors.

I purchased both an Acer 22" LCD and a Samsung 941BW 19" LCD. While I like the styling and some of the features on the 941bw better than I do the Acer, I think the video playback is much better on the Acer than the Samsung - mainly the black/dark areas of the video being better represented on the Acer. I'm pretty sure this is due to the contrast ratio of the Acer being 800:1 and the Samsung is only 500:1. Basically, video playback looks washed out on the Samsung with the black/dark areas being somewhat reddish/purplish and over saturated, yet everything else besides video playback looks wonderful on the Samsung. Video playback on the Acer looks great...black/dark areas are well represented. Maybe I'm just being too picky and I doubt it's a driver issue. Anyone else experience this?

Also, I have a Radeon 8500 and am able to run each monitor at their native resolutions; I've also tried tweaking the contrast and other settings but no luck - the Acer still looks better. I kind of preferred the Samsung because of it's smaller size and it just seems to be a better built monitor (also has less backlight bleed), but I do a lot of video work so I think that's more important to me and I can live with the backlight bleed of the Acer. Just curious if there's something I'm missing here. Thanks!
