Don't worry - you'll love it! Also, try Dreamweaver split with the 215tw rotated ... you can have a full page of html source above the full webpage preview. If you don't like that, use your extra $250 to buy a cheap 2nd monitor & video card for even more flexibility. Cheers!

Gateway FPD2185W, is it a good choice for a monitor?

I've got the Samsung 215tw ... you can get it at Costco, CompUSA, and Best Buy. It's amazing! The issues described on extremetech are not really concerning brightness 'uniformity'. Uniformity problems would be backlight related, and would usually be most noticeable as backlight bleed and/or...

20" Widescreen questions yet again

I understand about you not wanting to have to pay S&H back and forth ... I'm not sure where you are, but near me in Atlanta I have founf the Samsung at the following places: BB, Costco, Microcenter, Fry's. From what I could tell from postings, the problems the people had with the red/yellow...

20" Widescreen questions yet again

I don't know if it's the same panel as the Gateway ... but I love mine. xtknight's test images (at lcdresource.com) all look great - I can pick out very subtle details in the dark areas - and more importantly to me, my digital photos are very faithfully reproduced. If you have the brightness &...

20" Widescreen questions yet again

PPS: And I don't think the difference between 20" and 21" (and even 22") makes any real difference ... it's barely noticeable even with the monitors next to each other. What DOES make a difference is the bezel - the Dell and the Samsung look 'svelte' and compact with narrow bezels - other...

20" Widescreen questions yet again

Hello riversend3 ... I've just gone through the more or less the same process as you. I wanted to see the LCD in action before committing - I couldn't initially find the NEC locally, and then I made a decision so I didn't look further, so I can't comment on that one. However, I brought...

LCD Buyer's Guide

I just took home 6 new widescreen LCDS - all bought locally because I was seriously worried about screen defects. I didn't get 1 bad pixel in the whole bunch. Maybe I was lucky ... I'm guessing the bad pixel receivers are just UNlucky! As for your brightness question ... I'm VERY happy with...

Well if you are choosing between the 204wt and the 2007wfp I would probably go for the Dell ... but that's for my more general use, which includes only occasional gaming. I didn't actually try the Dell on my home machine (as opposed to just about every other widescreen!), but it was very...

I had a similar dilemma - but see if your Best Buy stocks the Samsung 215tw and try it out (not all BB's seem to have them in). It's a bit more money than the LG, not much more than the Dell (though my bet is you can get them to give you 15% off with the 'back to school' coupons). It really is...

Not really a question ... just my $0.02 as a grateful reader of this thread. I just went through a major research/buying cycle, with no requirements being too rigid, but my most important 'leanings' being top quality display/colour and preferably wide screen. I didn't want to spend too...
