i have used a handful of LCD and never seen any real change between VGA & DVI

The monitor is nice, but I had some problems with the 191T I first bought. I had to exchange it four times because of toooo many dead pixels out of the box. I bought it at BB, then returning it for a ViewSonic VX900. No problems.

I really like the fact that you can rotate it and the slim line. But, I had no luck with it. Anyways good luck.

Yes it is going back

Monte,
You might want to give ViewSonic a try.

Good luck with the return. Hopefully they will give you no hassles.

Samsung is sending me a LCD screen screen and paying for all shipping!!

There is only one good way to buy a LCD monitor. Go to Staples, Circuit City or Office Depot and ask them to open the box and check it out right there and then. Look it over closely for dead pixels and other defects.

If they won't agree to that, ensure that they have a no questions asked, no restocking fee, cash refund return policy.

Whose Samsung 173s LCD wouldn't start on Day 2 and had the no-hassle replacement up and running on Day 3.

Monte,
Samsung will be sending you another refurbished monitor. Make sure that they give you a warranty. When I had the problems with the 191T, they suggested I go back to BB and have it replaced by them because otherwise I would get a refurbished one from them.

Slim makes a good point.

Good luck.

ive actually offered to open up new LCDs and plug em in and turn em on just to make sure its perfect, done this quite a few times

and i tell all my customers that you can try the product for 14 days, if you don't like it just return it

by **CowboySlim** on Sat Sep 18, 2004 10:59 am

Absolutely, Hox, that is why I recommended Staples.

So with the temp screen that i got from best buy this is what my desk now looks like I went out on Saturday and got speakers for my PC. Their Creative speakers.

by **dodecahedron** on Sun Sep 19, 2004 11:03 am

elegant looking speakers.

BTW what is that program on the screen in the 2 last picstures?

BTW that primitive, archaic cellphone is out of place in that pic. it ruins the picture. get a new one

BTW isn't it time you changed your ameoba-looking avatar?

by **MonteLDS** on Sun Sep 19, 2004 12:09 pm

1) that is mIRC on efnet
2) I have AIM on that phone, and all the new models AIM are not as good. They lag and what not.
3) i changed it just for you

the fact that it does 1600x1200 is what I would like about it, but this samsung is an 1.3' bigger and very clean.

Does the Dell do 32bit at 16x12 because this one won't sadly
