I am considering the Samsung 730BF, but the "LCD Buyer's Guide" links to an article by Xbit, which says it has serious problems.

This I would be happy to accept, if it wasn't for the many other reviews that make no mention of the problems.
I have also talked to quite a few people who have the monitor, or at least have seen it in action, and also claim it has no problems.
Is it possible that Xbit just got a faulty model or something? Does anyone have this monitor, and can tell me how it runs?
Thanks a lot,

So, the main and very serious drawback of the SyncMaster 730BF and 930BF monitors is their very shoddy implementation of RTC: the RTC error amounts to tens of percent, so any moving object is accompanied with visual artifacts. The artifacts are so strong that they even make working with desktop applications uncomfortable: light, almost white, trails follow behind the mouse cursor and moving windows. The trails become the more conspicuous if you reduce the brightness and contrast below the default (but at the default settings the brightness of white is 200cd/sq.m, i.e. two times above the level recommended for work with text). I could also complain at the inaccurate color temperature setup of the 730BF, but this defect is really negligible against the gross problems with the RTC setup!
