Samsung no longer provides info on which panel the 226BW is using, therefore it will be almost impossible to know if you are getting the "S" panel. There may still be 226BW monitors in warehouses that identified the panel on a sticker on the back of the monitor.

Personally, I'm looking towards the Viewsonic vg2230wm right now based on what I've seen about it. It's probably close to being on par with an S-panel, and you know which one you're getting. Plus I think Samsung has been kind of shifty about this whole thing so I'd just assume not give them my business. And I've never had anything but respect for Viewsonic and their products (they do outsource a few of the lowest end products, but they've never tried to hide it).
