I don't want this thread to get locked by posting a coupon link here, but if I were you, I would try over at Fatwallet - they might have it😉
 
How does this compare with the 1907fp?

Also all the reviews say this lacks features, what features besides swivel are there that people use?

The 1907fp is not a very good model from what I have read (the 1905pf was but now is discontinued).

It is discussed in this thread.

The Samsung 940BF reviews state it is a great display, but was overpriced when it was going for $400.00. Now that it is $199.95, I don't think you can beat it.
 
Yeah, what I read was that the display was nice, just not for the $400 it was going for when they reviewed it. If they looked at it again at ~$200 it would probably get more respect.
 
When you say "$199.95 shipped", I expect that to be the amount that is charged to my credit card. In this case, even after the $15 coupon, my credit card would be charged $254.95. So the correct title should be "$199.95 after MIR".

Added a AR just for you.
 
Edit 06/19/2006 - I received mine today and it does come with a DVI and VGA cable. The monitor is perfect - no dead pixels and the quality is great. Buy.com is sold out at the moment and some retailers (Newegg) have actually raised their prices.

Nice find and nice specs: This display offers a response time of 2ms (G to G), 700:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 1280 x 1024 resolution, 160/160 degree viewing angle and scanning frequency of 30-81 kHz horizontal and 56-75 Hz vertical. The SyncMaster 940BF display offers the option of using either a digital or analog interface for viewing images and text. It features MagicTune with Asset Management, MagicBright II, MagicColor and MagicZone. The SyncMaster 940BF is available in black and is backed by a three-year parts and labor warranty, including the backlight.


Anyone know what "G to G" (grey to grey) means in reference to the response time??

The way FP display pricing is becoming more and more affordable, it's like watching the Walmart commercials - "Falling prices".

Response Time: Response time is an unusual preference and always a trade off. Typical response time (TrTf - Time rising, Time falling) refers to the time that it takes the LCD subpixel to twist from the fully "on" position to the fully "off" position and then back again. Response time has absolutely nothing to do with framerate. Pixel response times are independent of each other, and it does not take the entire screen 25ms to refresh if a monitor is labeled as a 25ms response time LCD. The time that it takes the LCD to go from black to white may be 15ms while the time that it takes the LCD to go from black back to white may be 10ms. Furthermore, your monitor is generally rendering a color that is not on end of the color spectrum. The time that it takes your LCD subpixel to twist from one half of a tone to another may be more or less than 15ms. The TrTf response time is normally a pretty useless measurement - but it makes for an easy specification in which to market LCDs.

The second method in measuring response time is "gray-to-gray" (GTG) response time. The measurement of GTG response time is actually more useful to LCD buyers, but it is harder to convey and is usually just conveyed as one number (which is incorrect). Gray to Gray response time refers to the time that it takes for a pixel to twist from some arbitrary position to another. On a 6-bit LCD, that's the time it takes the subpixel to twist from 1 of 64 different positions to one of the other 63 positions. GTG response times are useful if the manufacturer expresses the average of all the GTG response times, but that is rarely the case.

I believe they are refering to the gray to gray.

They sold out the other day, and got it back in stock two days later. Maybe they will get more in quickly.

Yes, hopefully they'll get more in soon. I'm not going to cancel my order yet - the reviews for the monitor sound good - especially for the price!
 
Still waiting on this (they've supposedly got an urgent offer in with the supplier).

The rebate has to be postmarked by the end of July, and the display itself had to be purchased by 30th June, so I called them up to see if I'd still get the rebate.

Got an email answer back today - apparently since I placed my order for it before 30th June, and it was 'in stock' when I ordered it, they will refund the rebate amount to my card if it arrives too late to get the rebate postmarked in time.

Can't argue with that!

Still, just need to wait for them to get some more in though...
