But they both look about the same to me. If it were me i'd go with the cheaper one and buy a :beer: with the money. GL on the choice, with either one youre gunna be happy.
 
What will you use them for? Also, try Neoseeker to dig up some more reviews of both panels (also Anandtech, THG, and maybe GamePC).

Triple; check peripherals.
 
Either way, those RMA/warranty policies suck. Eight dead pixels before you get a replacement?

Samsung have one of the best qualtiy control with dead pixels,you`ll find that most users will have 0,1, or if unlucky 2 at the most dead pixels with a Samsung LCD monitor,now 8 well I`ve never heard of anyone getting 3 let along 8 with a Samsung LCD monitor.


cbeavers,why those two models only ,is it price and is gaming important to you?



 
Ok how about this one, and should I even order from Newegg with that sucky return policy?

These two 17" models( NEC 1760NX and Hitachi CML174) also both available in black are worth looking at.
