Well, I've got a Samsung 2494 on trial, and I hate it. Too bright with everything turned down and I can see the flicker at 60 refresh.

At first, it wouldn't allow the menu system to show, and indeed did little but show a screen-saver of 'Digital / Analog'. I caught on that it needed 60hz to get going, so had to connect the old tube just to re set it. Then my Nvidia card wouldn't go to 1920 x 1080. But then I found something in the windowz menu like 'auto' and away it went. I have no idea how I did that BTW.


It seems there is a higher refresh rate available for another $40...so I'll look at that.


I might well go back to me tube, one heck of a lot more controllable.


Oh, and another BTW. My new 46" Samsung needs a new LCD panel, so this was to cover for the time that it was going to be away. This run of exploding technology has to come to an end soon...it's statistically impossible for me to get every duff bit of kit there is...........isn't it?

Yet another BTW. I told the manager that if I did return it, it wouldn't have a finger mark on it. Kin'el, by the time I'd plugged it in to several different sources, and struggled with the stand, and, cringe cringe, even opened the packet with the instructions in it! It looked less than fresh. Then . . . I have to say, LOL, a mosquito that has been plaguing me for ages, sat on it - right in front of my eyes. You have no idea how much I hated that mosquito. They even give you a cloth to clean SPLUT! marks off the screen. I've unpacked that now.
