SAMSUNG (1100DF) 21in.Ivory CRT/2048x1536res./Dyna Flat
1 Solid Performance for a Large Screen Flat Panel Monitor
I have been very happy with the performance of this monitor. My machine has been a solid performer without problems. I have dealt with Samsung's customer service in the past with another monitor I owned which did develop a problem and they were extremely helpful. They replaced the monitor and even extended my warranty. If you are looking for a large flat panel CRT this is certainly a monitor to consider.
2 OMG Was I Ever Disappointed!!!!!!
I bought this monitor after an exhaustive search for a good flat panel turned up diddly squat. First few days were GREAT, numerous different jacks and options both for hook up and onscreen adjustment(s). But after awhile it started to develop curvy almost vibrating kind of lines in the screen, eminating from the cortners, sides, and center. Almost a wave effect. Most times you dont see it unless your on a high contrast or dominant backdrop such as whites, blues, etc. Its also extremely noticeable whenb playing World Of Warcraft specifically when your dead and you have all those whites and grays on the screen. Im forced to return it and try another one, but I am sure itll be more of the eventual same. When that happens, Ill be switching to BenQ's top notch FP231W flat panel display. STAY AWAY FROM THE 1100DF. ITS NOTHING BUT A PAIN IN THE ASS....... :O(
3 Good Buy
I have been very pleased with this monitor. Super sharp text and a good overall picture. Easy to operate controls on this samsung monitor which other monitors lack. I have looked at some Trintron tubes but the text is fuzzy on them! A invar shaddow mask is sharper. The color seemed a little weak until I adjusted my video card settings. The bandwidth is higher on this model than on other brand monitors so it has better refresh performance. I would buy it again with no hesatation. Great for surfing the internet!
