Very good monitor, particularly for the money. We have two at my house, and a few of my co-workers got in on the Dell deal last year- everybody's happy. One guy put his older high end trinitron on the kids' box so he could have the Samsung for himself. In a blind test, these will compete very well against monitors costing a lot more.
I personally think that resolutions above 1024x768 are useless on a 17" monitor, except maybe for gaming with an extremely high-end vid card.
Korean goods are generally a bargain at the present time, they really got reamed by the IMF and currency speculators a while back..... forced a radical devaluation of their currency.....
