Samsung Syncmaster 226CW = Great!

Not wanting to become part of the lottery with the 226BW, it seemed like an eternity waiting for the 226CW! Although they don't advertise it, Best Buy had some in stock so I picked one up yesterday.

The monitor is FANTASTIC!

I did not really see a great deal of improvement with the 97% color gamut but it was marginally better than the BW. The backlighting was uniform with no color issues. I adjusted the brightness to 12%, contrast 65%, and sharpness to 70% and that was it. Truely plug and play.

There are no more "letters" on the back of the monitor's panel. This is a good sign that Samsung, and only Samsung, will be manufacturing these panels.

there are four versions of the 226bw, 2 are terrible, one is good, one is great.

no

Hey I was wondering what the input possibilities are for the new monitor? Is it only DVI and VGA like most? Also, do you know of any 22" monitors with composite or component inputs?

What's this lottery thing all about? I'm looking at these 2 monitors as well.

Thanks.

Are you sure the new ones manufactured are S panels. I just ordered one from New Egg and am extremely nervous.
