Samsung SM226BW 22" TFT Monitor

[tvrforever]

Ok so it's time for me to replace my aging 20" CRT and I've seen good reviews of the SM226BW monitor.

Does anybody have any experiences with this Samsung monitor?

Does anybody know anywhere that's currently got them in stock?

There is a lot of stuff about this having the AOU or the Samsung panel. Punch the model number into Google. I even became an IEC dead pixel expert and was talking to overclockers 'n' all about this exact screen.

Until I saw the Apple Cinema 23" in real life. It just worked. So well. Cue end of protracted search for LCD (see, it's saved me time already!).

Damn you apple for taking the food out of my mouth

I've just got one this last week and have to say I am blown away with it, straight out of the box it was a bit too bright for me but once I got it calibrated it is now spot on. I know there has been a lot of talk on forums about the S panel being superior to the A panel but I think that has been blown out of all proportion. For the record I got an S panel and zero dead pixels.

Great - where'd you get yours from?

I got mine from overclockers.co.uk but I did have to wait 3 weeks for it to come back into stock as they seem to be in very high demand

just ordered mine from Komplett.co.uk (www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=331034) - they still have some in stock as well

I should be getting a new monitor at the end of the month, undecided about getting a 22" or waiting for the samsung 24" to arrive
