Amazing price on 21" monitor (UK)

[Fat Tone]

so do you like the picture? Is it flat or 'visually flat'?

[William]

I don't think it's quite perfectley flat -but it may just be that I'm a bit too close to it and not looking at it straight on (I need to alter the position of my desk somewhat -I didn't have a monitor this size in mind when I worked out where to put it originally)

The picture looks divine to me right now; but it's probably not a good idea to read too much into that as I think my Tablets display was better than the screen I've switched from.

Price now at £139.99 + vat and the wife is glaring at me....

[Fat Tone]

I bet she's holding the scissors dangerously close to your CC too.
Talking of snips...wish me luck on Monday

[GNEP]

Good luck on Monday for "that" op Tony

[Fat Tone]

<squeaky voice> thanks! </squeaky voice>

42" of loveliness just arrived. Do I risk a hernia getting them up the stairs now...? Or do some real work?

[Fat Tone]

Pros: lots of real-estate, I'm using 2*16*12 very comfortably.
cons:rather imposing compared to the 19" models...the gap between the screens is larger die to the larger bezel (or it at least appears so as it is black).

A little adjustment required out of the box for best performance, but nice and crisp even before that.

good luck monday tone,
glad to hear they are a nice pair of screens, how would you say they stacked up against the best CRT's out there?

[Fat Tone]

Thanks Borat.

Yes, they are a nice pair of screens, but I can't comment on how they compare to 'the best out there'. Certainly these are no worse than any other CRT I've used, but they haven't generally been expensive. At work my made panel is a LG1810B and I'd say this is almost as sharp, and as good an the analogue panels I have on either side of it (using a P of course).

There's a huge number of adjustments you can make inc. Moire, Lineraity, Focus, Convergence, Purity - on top of the extensive range of geometry adjustments available.

I need to dig out a calibration app.

excellent, cant wait to get back to 3 screens again, ive been using 1 ever since i got My LCD back in february because i hate running screens at different resolutions, just hoping theres enough juice left in my trusty parhelia to crank out another year of surround gaming for me!

Any problems with your 1100DFs?

One of mine would never go quite black but I decided to live with. Now it has got (intermittently) quite flickery and the OSD is garbled.

I just spoke to Samsung and they are arranging a swap out in the next 2-3 business days

Can't say fairer than that!

The other is still rock-solid and pin-sharp

I hate you.

no problems whatsoever here, screens are as good as the day they arrived - which although not super high end, is very good indeed! Hope they deliver on their 2-3 day promise.

[Fat Tone]

Cheers. Glad to hear yours is/are ok. I've upped the refresh to 100Hz (running 1280*1024, was 85Hz)) and that's got rid of the flickering but the OSD is still sometimes garbled.

As long as it stays usable I don't mind if they take a little longer
