Samsung 955DF vs 997DF

[imported_dave56]

Anandtech recommends the Samsung 955DF, but it looks to me like the specs are better on the 997DF. What am I missing? Why would I want the 955DF instead?

997 is definitely better but is also more expensive

Only $4 more at Newegg.

This week Best Buy has the Samsung 997DF for ($199 - 20 rebate =) $180.

You wouldn't . . . and the 997 is the newer model . . . unlikely to be included in the AT review . . . yet.

I just picked up the 997DF and it's a great monitor. It looks pretty good right out of the box, but once you adjust the color with the included software it really looks fantastic. It's a steal with the $20 rebate at Best Buy. It's not anywhere near as bulky as the 955DF that I had a couple of years ago.

good you have (had) both . . .

How do they compare at the higher resolutions . . . . say 10x12?

My 955df barely gets 80 hz at that res and i usually run 11x8 @ 85hz

asking because my 955 is gettin old (over 4 years) and the off/on switch is sticking . . . thinking of an UPgrade!?! . . . replacement?! . . . lcd??! . . .
lsd??? . . . oops
