Good buy
I bought this monitor in May. The only issue was single faulty pixel (it couldn't turn off, and would always show blue, but would not show up if any composite color, like white, was needed). I haven't seen a need to return it because the colors are bright and vivid, games and movies play fine, and the monitor looks great.The design itself is very sleek, the buttons are very subtle and out of the way. This can be annoying when initially setting it up, but after adjusting the brightness, the buttons just disappear into the thin bezel.I paid around $500 (after shipping) for this; it's a great monitor, and would be a bargain at that price or less.

It's not that special
Although Samsung claims a revolutionary 12ms response time the overall gaming experience was no better than a 2 year old 15" TN+film Samsung Syncmaster 151S. I'm not using the bogus PVA-based sample either, this review is based on a retail version purchased in Taiwan.What IS most disturbing about this display is that out of the box: 1. whites are WAY too blue (probably 10,000K) and 2. the internal gamma circuitry is set way too high. You can fix problem 1 only in analog mode because the color temperautre controls are completely disabled in DVI, and problem 2 can only be remedied if your video card drivers support gamma correction. On my system I had to lower the gamma to around 0.65 to produce a similar image to the old 151S.If you video card drivers don't support gamma correction, don't get this display, because everything will be permanently washed out. If your video card drivers don't support indenpdent RGB color correction, and you want to use DVI, don't get this display, because your display will be permanently blue.Other than that, it's a great display... bright, vivid, decent blacks, and to my eyes, extremely minimal ghosting.
