...I took a good look at this monitor, and chose the Viewsonic VP191 even though that one cost a good a hundred and fifty bucks more---mainly because the Viewsonic allows me to turn the screen ninety degress so I can view entire Office documents and web pages.

Otherwise, these Samsungs with their 800:1 contrast ratios offer terrific bang for the buck. Really sharp, though not quite as bright as the Viewsonics despite their slightly higher cdm ratings. But I have many friends who are quite happy with their Samsungs, and I have an old Samsung 17" CRT which has held up well over a couple years' heavy usage. In short, when you compare Samsung monitors to the really cheap 250-300 dollar off-brands, in my opinion the extra hundred or so you spend for the Samsung is well worth it for most people's uses.

Just bought this monitor at Comp USA with over $120 in rebates. A 19", 800:1 ratio monitor for $349 out the door that used to retail for over $470! It has a bright clear picture with no dead pixels. Sure, DVI input would have ben nice, but at this price that's something I can live without.
