| 216931 | 2004-02-22 23:14:00 | It's also worth looking at the Sony business series LCD screens (SDMHX73 for the 17") - excellent sharpness, DVI input, speakers, a nice thin bezel and useful stand with easy adjustment. They are a tad more expensive and not many shops stock them yet (although check on pricespy for the best buy). I use one and find it performs very well - good response time with an accurate (mid-range luminance) measurement, good viewing angles, contrast and brightness and a nice interface. With LCD be careful not to base your decision on cost. High end Philips and Viewsonic monitors could also be good but I haven't tried them. |

| 216932 | 2004-02-23 00:05:00 | well,hopefully these expensive screens will in the near future be as good as an affordable crt. Anyhow,all fluff aside,I done a google on hot pixel test and found nothing.All results were tied in with digital cameras. If anyone has some relevent info about the Hot Pixel Test it would be much apreciated. |

I haven't used a Samsung LCD monitor yet but have used several of their CRT's and loved them......dare I say better than Phillips?? Not all Phillips LCD monitors have the zero bright dot warranty so be careful and get it in writing before you buy. Most LCD manufacturers have now switched production over to 17" screens so you will see a fall in price of these shortly, they have come cheaper in the last few months but the price is predicted to fall further yet and 15" will become the mainstay unit within months replacing CRT. Sony monitors are also very nice however I have found their pricing seems to be higher than most others. |

Granted, they are cheaper than they were 18 months/2 years ago but the ones I have been watching closely over the past six months have increased in price. :-( > but the price is predicted to fall further yet Lets hope it does. ;-) |

| 216935 | 2004-02-23 02:29:00 | Agree, Samsung make nice monitors - good value and they are doing some nice stylist things as well. Keep in mind professionals were willing to pay 2-3 times as much for a Sony CRT monitor up until about a year ago... |

| 216937 | 2004-02-26 18:30:00 | Does anyone know what Samsung's warranty details are for dead pixels? | SpiderVenom (1412) | ||
| 216938 | 2004-02-26 21:05:00 | On 15" to 17" monitors 3 or more dead pixels = warranty On 19" to 24" monitors more than 1 dead pixel = warranty if the dead pixels are within 15mm then it is automatically under warranty wothout having the limits on numbers of pixels. In the first month it is warranty if any pixel dies on any monitor. These details are from Radiola who are the new Zealand agents for samsung. Hope this helps |
