This thing is SWEET. Thin LCD PC monitor with built-in TV tuner, S-Video, Headphone jack, cable jack, etc. Nice and light too, with great picture quality to boot. Sounds pretty decent as well. Was a great investment I must say, great for bringing to school and back.

I got Outrun 2, ROTK extended edition, a new towel (plum coloured) and the Communist Manifesto today.

You lose.

That monitor is awesome!

Oh and I also got Garden State today, and decided to test it out on my monitor via the PS2. Worked really well, I was watching it from the comfort of my bed (2m away) and it still looked and sounded great.

I'm just reading the full specs at the BB site...and man, this thing is HDTV ready too? Fuck me. Samsung rocks!

:lol

I was at the BestBuy site looking at that monitor not even 5 minutes ago. I have $200 worth of BB gift cards so I was looking for a monitor/tv to blow it on. My main tv's in the same room as my pc setup so if that's in use by my bros I wanted to have something to use as a backup.

Congrats man!... and do me a favor and check out the tv option just so I know if there's any ghosting or refresh problems etc. Thanks!

The only things I got today were an erection when I woke up and a hangover.

I'll check it out for you in a bit...I'll edit this post with my findings.

The quality of it is pretty decent, no real problems with ghosting or refresh rate (to my untrained eye). It is a bit blurry, but that just means that you can't sit directly in front of it, when I move back a bit (like lying in bed), it ain't a problem. Overall the quality is good, its not going to be replacing high end TV's anytime soon, but it gets the job done. This is after all a monitor first and a TV second. It does both jobs well, and I'm more than happy with that...I love the vesatility of it.
