Need a 20" screen
by Rihy - 12/16/05 3:39 AM In reply to: Monitor by crazeebob2000CAD-environment is painful with a smaller screen. I suggested our purchasing department to buy a Fujitsu-Siemens Scenicview 20-2 or a Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW LCD-panel.

LOVE MY SAMSUNG
by Riverledge - 12/17/05 3:26 PM In reply to: Monitor by crazeebob2000I bought a new PC in april 2003 sans monitor. I was planning on using my old Gateway 19'' CRT. I did for a short while, but while shopping for a new printer, all the flat screen LCD's caught my eye.
I was sold. Couldn't resist such a deal!!!
I ended up with a 17'' Samsung wide-screen; after all
the rebates (it was a new model at the time) the screen cost less than $450. I love it, especially the
high contrast and deep blacks. I use it for everything
except high-tech apps. Bonus: easier on the eyes.
Samsung KILLS me & other people too - see this
by jelley - 12/17/05 4:22 PM In reply to: LOVE MY SAMSUNG by RiverledgeI created a site re: monitor pain issues, and the Samsung 151s LCD really set off my problems with a vengeance.
Furthermore, I created a survey, wherein at least 2 others besides me also cited Samsung health issues.
So everyone's computer monitor experiences are like the tale of the blind men who are all testifying about different parts of an elephant & jumping to different conclusions.
Sounds bad......
by Riverledge - 12/17/05 6:42 PM In reply to: Samsung KILLS me & other people too - see this by jelleyMust be a beginners model. Basically their screens are quite good.
it's a complex issue
by jelley - 12/18/05 4:34 PM In reply to: Sounds bad...... by RiverledgeI'd forgotten to post the URLs. The issue is complex because it's related to BOTH toxic monitors AND the health situation of monitors' owners.
Anyway, here's my guestbook survey, wherein 2 people (besides me) complained of Samsung - and my site/story is linked to it:

Too complex to believe...
by Nvanlaar - 1/7/06 10:12 AM In reply to: it's a complex issue by jelley2 people out of how many? I have a 712N and love it. I had one problem, some pixels burned out or something. I called samsung and they promptley shipped me a new one and return postage for my old one. I only wish I had the money for a 19 or 20 incher.
Possible Drawback
by num.ber - 12/16/05 2:33 AM In reply to: Will you buy an LCD monitor? by Marc Bennett
The only disadvantage with LCD is the problem of "dead pixels".
As things stand at the moment manufacturers (including all the 'top names') are allowed to supply screens with dead pixels - without this being considered a fault and the purchaser not being able to obtain a replacement.
To make things more complicated there does not seem to be an agreed standard covering the number allowed.
Dead pixels result in a very bright white spot on the screen and although there may be very few, if you have them, the eye is drawn to them constantly.
I spent a very long time looking until I found a manufacturer (Optronix) who guarantees 100% "No Dead Pixels" and although wasn't a 'top name' brand the spec and performance are as good as any I've seen.
Dead pixels aren't just for LCDs
by Himself - 12/16/05 12:58 PM In reply to: Possible Drawback by num.berI've got a beautiful 20" CRT and it came with 2 dead pixels. Not exactly the same as on an LCD, though. It's a greenish dot and a reddish dot. unlike the LCD, if it's a black screen, you can't see them. However, none of my friends' LCDs, nor my 20" LCD at work has any dead pixels. I think it's just a quality control issue and most LCDs are really really good about quality.
