I just recently bought a Samsung 191T+. Great color, awesome black level, no ghosting (for me - tested Call of Duty and UT2K4), no dead pixels, sharp as a tack. BUT....
I originally thought it was my video input (ATI R8500 via DVI)causing a black irregularity at the top of my display, but dicovered today that it appears to be the panel itself. I have what basically is a "non-active" black strip across the top. From right to left, the edge of the "non-active" display area is about 1/10 of an inch and slants down to the left where it becomes about 1/8 of an inch (from lip of screen to edge of "active" display") I confirmed that it was indeed the display and not my video input by turning the display off. I can visibly see a change in the way the display looks from a very dark, but not totally black area (the main active area when display is on) to the strip I see when on, which is completely black when off or on. I thought TFT's where supposed to be edge to edge??? Is this a defect???? Thought I wouldn't have to deal with this type of thing anymore (vs CRT's)!
