I bought 3 of these 1907's and all of them have Samsung 8 bit panels: ltm190ex. It appears to be a true 8 bit panel as Samsing's spec sheet states. I've run a few color spectrum test patterns and all the colors blend together seamlessly without dithering. I've been fiddling with them for the last few days and I have to say I am impressed (although I can't speak for the 6bit panels some have been getting).
Running the LCD right next to my Trinitron 21inch in 'Clone mode', the LCD is noticeably crisper and brighter than my trusty Trinitron (and the CRT is properly calibrated). There is a very slight motion blur when playing games, but it's not the deal-killer I expected. After about an hour you can't even notice it anymore. I've played BF2, SS2, CoD2, Oblivion, NFSMW, BFME2, FEAR, Doom3, etc and they've all looked great. One big suprise for me was how black the blacks are. I'm used to lesser LCDs displaying black as a dark grey, this is the first I've seen that comes pretty darn close to black.
The biggest con:
Slight backlight bleeding around the lower edges. However, it isn't bad and you forget it's there. Kinda like the lines on a Trinitron tube.
Like others, I had to lower my brightness a lot. Brightness is set to 30%, all colors to 90% and contrast (in the nvidia color correction tab) to 97%. These settings produce colors that appear identical to my Trinitron.
As for the view angle I haven't noticed any problems. I just sit in front of it and the display looks fine.
This monitor has a fully adjustable stand (height, tilt) and can also swivel left and right. It is also capable of portrait mode and came with all the cables (usb, dvi, vga). I'd say this is an excellent deal! I'm a gamer and I don't miss my CRT one bit.
