Seeing that movies are 24fps and TV is 30fps, can anyone really see a difference between 60fps and 100fps?? I don't know the answer to your questions, but can add 2 comments: 1. It doesn't matter what signal you supply to the monitor, it can take is and convert it to whatever it wants...

Well, it sounds like you got lucky. I've had 2 of these, and both have visible light bleeding on dark colors (say the lower 25% of the color range), but obviously the effect is most disturbing on very dark screens. Some people have said that they don't have any light bleeding. Others have...

I agree on all the faults (it sounds like you do too). I just disagree with the assumption that all LCD panels have these faults. I think picking out a monitor by using specs is where I went wrong on the 930B. I know is that the old Samsung 912N kicks the heck out of the 930B. The specs are...

Well, I can try that tonight - put on the 930B and then swap in the 912N using the same cable, then I'll know. Even with a DVI cable, the backlighting still bleeds around the edges. So the analog issue only cost me another $40 for a cable, but there is no way that I know of to correct dark...

Its a $330 montior now, but you're right. Anyone who isn't going to use DVI should look for another monitor. If you are going to use DVI, add the price of the cable to the $330, then be ready to see glowing edges on the top and the bottom any time you're playing in the dimly lit room.

I'm happy you got hold of a couple of good ones. I've heard that some people don't have the backlight issues, and if you're using DVI, the analog issues won't apply. However that doesn't change the fact that if you buy one at any given point in time, you're just as likely to get one like mine...

Fair enough, just a couple notes to you reply... >>> 1. It depends on the unit <<< - True, but 2 out of the 2 I had showed the same issues >>> 2. There's lot of ways to adjust the analog. Auto usually works well, or just adjust phase and clock (or coarse/fine). <<< - I tried...

I'm on my second of these monitors. Everything you read about them is true. To summarize: 1. The 930B is simply the worst job of backlighting I've seen on a flat panel or laptop in the last 10 years. The lighting is uneven and bleeds around the edges, causing the top and the bottom of the...

I just bought a Samsung 930B from Best Buy, and exchanged it once already. Both have a very annoying backlight bleed issue. I can't find any recent information on this (say within the last 2 months). Does anyone know if Samsung has admitted the problem, or if there is a fix available? Some...
