Can you get the Samsung at prices close to what a dell goes for?


Right now, the Dell and Samsung are about the same price. Dell fluctuates prices often, so it could go up or down.

I only paid $660 for the Dell. Which is a great price. A shame it didnt cut it. I may try my hand at getting a A03 rev from Dell, so I can easily return if it sucks. However there is no guarantee I can get an A03. Dell claims it only fixes languages in the OSD.

I may just go ahead and get the ACD. That was my original plan, but I figured the Dell was ok and I could save some money. I need to decide soon, as my Mac Pro will be here tomorrow.

I am buying the ACD.

I should have just stick with my plan from the beginning. I dont want a display that I have to tweak to get the colors rights with the never ending onscreen menus. I know I can calibrate and have it going right out of the box.

Just in case someone wants to argue, I will say this. If you just want browse the internet and play around ok. You can buy the cheaper panel, however my computer makes me money and having a high quality panel that handles colors properly is more important than saving a couple hundred bucks.
