I can tell you my SyncMaster 950p is awesome, especially since I got it for free. :)

<< how'd you get it for free? I would like to get in on that deal >>


Don't know if you remember OnVia.com. Back when it was retailing for about $350 US, I was looking for something to replace my 15" monitor. I checked OnVia's Canadian site and it had it listed for $350 CDN. I thought they made a mistake (which they probably did) and ordered it. When I checked their site the day after, it was listed for $550. Woohoo, I thought. But the $350 never got charged to my CC. :)

I use a 700IFT (17") and I reccommend it and any other DynaFlat monitor. They generally get very good press.

955DF monitor guy here. Good stuff. I clean it daily/hourly/whenever something MIGHT be smudging.

Stupid people! You don't have to touch the screen to point things out!!!!!! :|

i have the 700NF too. I just got it. Im still playing with the settings. hopefuly when my GF4 gets here i can get more out of it. realy looks better at 1600x1200 but my VC doesnt have a good enough ramdac to get the refresh rate at 85Hz at that rez.

anyone got sugestions for geting it adjusted properly? there are a ton of settings to mess with.

overall im happy with it. beats the crap outa that envision it replaced.

I've had my 950p for about 3 years now and it's been great. Good colors, contrast, clarity, etc...

I use to use a 753df at work. Samsung's own.
