Should I buy this - Samsung 955df?

I currently have a Miradex 19' flat monitor. It is pretty generic, but it was affordable. The claim was that it has a diamondtron tube in it. It does 1280x 1024 at 85 and 1600x1200 @ 75. Maybe others with the same monitor can chime in about it. I have never had a true name brand monitor so I cant exactly rate it well. It works. I have the option of switchhing to the samsung for no case, even trade. What do you think? Will i be happier with it?


*Edit* My current monitor is an Asev AT1099a .25 AG Diamaondtron
 
I have seen some question about the quality of the shadow mask on the samsung. Can anyone comment on thise? Mine is an AG. Thanks for the comments guys, im thinking about finalizing the sale of this beast
 


<< i have no problem with mine

refresh rate could be alittle better... but no biggie >>



Yeah, I like mine a lot 😛
 
it is a nice monitor for the money. however, 1600 x 1200 is not as clear as i would like it to be, and towards the vertical edges of the screen, the pixels seem to spread out more. but for the money, you won't get a better monitor.
 
I got one of these about a year ago from Gateway Store, free shipping and a nice rebate..

and I love mine
 
I'm on one right now...and while I'm not an expert monitor reviewer I would definitely say it has served me very well.
 
If you're into graphics work where color and clarity are an issue, I would recommend staying away from the 955 series. (No personal experience other than research and two hours spent at Best Buy/CompUSA staring at one.) Check out the Viewsonic A90f, (NOT A90). Other than that, your budget's gonna have to grow a little and go with the 900nf. I'm sure there's others, but that's the conclusion I reached after about 3 weeks of research before I bought mine. (the a90f)
 
I have my 955df set to 1024 x 768....that's 100hz refresh rate...I can't even stand with 85hz...so... I have no complain, I am planning to keep this monitor for a very long time.
 
Heh, I've got a 17" POS right now running at 1280x1024 at 65hz, and honestly it aint that bad. So I went ahead and took the plunge and bough the Samsung 955DF for $193.95 shipped, which is a remarkable price right now for the monitor. Saved me $70 instead of buying it from Dell. I've put this in 2 systems I've built for relatives, and have had no problems with it, and quality was pretty good.
