Anyone have or know of the Samsung 931b LCD? It's on sale at staples..

I want to know if it's good for gaming?

thinking about getting the 931B also. It is $200 at Best Buy with no rebates

I'm guessing the 931 is just an upgrade of the 930.

I have no experience with the 931B, but the 930B is an amazing gaming monitor. Absolutely no ghosting whatsoever, and the colors are quite nice. And when I say no ghosting, it's coming from a person who plays a LOT of fast-paced FPS games (Quake 3, UT2K4, Painkiller, etc).

Picked one up at the local Best Buy, the sales clerk was nice enough to let me use an inappropriate 15% coupon on it, so 170 (tax free weekend, BB enhanced it to cover tax on everything!)

Decent deal without having to deal with rebates.

This is no CRT, of course, It is also inferior to the higher-end Planar and Viewsonic 16:9 monitors we use at work, but isn't bad at all for the price. Vertical viewing angle is limited severely. Colors aren't too great, but in all honesty, I haven't had a chance to set it yet. Will post an update later, but not a bad monitor at all.

No DVI cable included - ugh. Another monoprice order ...

I too picked up one from BB today. Looks great, no dead pixels as far as I can tell. Thought about getting the Samsung 204B LCD ($300) instead, but $100 for an extra 1" wasn't worth it to me.
