Well, my samsung 216bw monitor recently started acting up on it's control panel, and well I have to send it in for repair. [Samsung has great customer service btw].
Anyway, my dad brought me a temporary 17" Dell 170s until my Samsung comes back from the repair center, I'm a college student, I need my computer. What I noticed is that everything is smoother... it's brighter, easier on the eyes, left 4 dead was running amazing 
. Why does it look better? Any monitor gurus out there with any ideas?

in theory the 216BW should look better but their both fairly low end monitors anyway. maybe you haven't set the colours n stuff properly?
