Anyone have the Samsung SyncMaster 2494HM?

I'm looking at getting this as my local shop has it on special. havn't found much for reviews on this model and was hoping someone here may be able to share their experience.

Any input is appreciated.
Thanks folks.

Just bought the 2494hm on Thursday. Got it at Canada Computers for $299 CDN $30 bucks off. Have not had time to calibrate the screen but seems to look good so far. It is very bright on the factory default and turned down brightness and contrast to the 30-40 range to prevent my retina's from burning. Had a Samsung 226BW with S panel, so that's my comparison. Lots of features, tilt, swivel, height, pivot, hdmi, dvi, vga, and usb and built in speakers (not using). Prad reviewed it and gave it a GOOD rating. Not bad for a TN panel.

One question ref the 2494HM. It seems anywhere I look on the net it indicates the 2494HM has a glossy frame (piano black finish). The one I got has the has-usb stand and has a matte finish frame. Anyone else seen this?

i would prefer that kind of stand with the matte finish. where did you buy yours because it seems all i can find are the glossy ones.
