1 Samsung Dead Pixels
I have just purchased a 191T+ monitor (which looks great, by the way) - and I could not open the box in the store. When I unpacked it and turned it on, it had a RED dead pixel - which for CAD (that's my bread) is extremely annoying (black/dark backgroung is the norm). Their (Samsung's) policy is 10 dead pixels for an exchange! Stay away from Samsung products - their quality is not what they claim. Check the review on Tom's Hardware - I should have listened to them.

2 Great Purchase
My Sony 17" Trinitron monitor died and I started to look for a new monitor. I read many reviews about early LCDs and the horror stories people said about them. Lately the reviews have been about how people love their LCD screen so much. Now that I have mine I would have to agree with them.

Set up was simple. Take the old monitor away, plug in the new one. Right away the picture was brighter and crisper than the old CRT screens I was used to. The next thing I looked for was dead pixels. Not a single one. The next thing to check was how the desktop would look since I ran in 1024 x 768 on my old CRT monitor and the LCD is native to 1280 x 1024. The desktop looked ok, but when I changed it to 1280 x 1024 the desktop seemed to come alive.

Next came the true test. How would a game look on the screen. Well I popped the SIMS into the CD-Rom and to my pleasant surprise the picture was even better than the CRT model. No ghosting and brighter colors than before. It was like I had a new game to play.

The best part about this model is the amount of desktop I saved. Before the CRT screen covered the desk, now I can actually fit my keyboard on the desk.

After two days with an LCD I was hooked. Never again will I go back to a CRT for my home computer. Now I just have to get my workplace to spring for one.
