CRT monitors are so cheap now; I can't imagine there aren't some good cheap CRT's. Check out what other customers say about other models. I guess I can't expect to get the same quality from a $200 monitor as I got from the $900 Mitsubishi. In any case, consider spending a bit more money on a better monitor. You are going to have to use it and look at it hour after hour. Get something else.

Wow - a great deal! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : When shopping for a new monitor, I resisted buying this Samsung because of my pre-conceived notions of the company: I remember when Samsung stood for flimsy electronics. No more. This 19 inch monitor has a sharp, flicker-free display that competes with the best - for an affordable price, too. The controls on the latest 955DF are no longer inside a flip open box on the console, but are in plain view. Some people might find the less-sleek look disappointing, but I appreciate the easy access. I also like how easy it is to swivel the screen from side to side to position it for better viewing.

My last monitor was a 17 inch Sony Triniton. One week after its warranty expired, the screen turned blue, proving that price does not buy you longevity. I was not about to drop a bundle again for a piece of equipment that might not last long. Side by side, the Samsung, even with its bigger screen size, is much crisper, with an even flatter, distortion free display. (Obviously, I can't compare color reproduction.) Plus, it doesn't have the characteristic Triniton line on the screen.

For Mac users like me, you can be assured that it is compatible, with no extra hardware needed to hook it up.

Since I just bought this monitor, I can't attest to its long-range performance, but I could not be happier with right now. I highly recommend it.

Review : I bought this monitor April 2001 and now its blur text drive me crazy. Playing with the control doesn't help. I am disppointed and will dump it.

An Incredible Monitor (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I purchased this monitor about 3 years ago. It has the buttons on the front of the monitor (people in previous reviews have stated that this is the newer, more defective version).
I use the computer, on average, about 5-6 hours a day which includes gaming, mp3 playing, web surfing, and watching dvd's (hell, you can see the pores on peoples faces). This monitor has never failed me once! It's clarity at high resolutions is incredible and it's color is very robust (which is helped by the GeForce4's color enhancing).
I am building myself another pc in the next month because this computer is 3 years old. I am using all top of the line parts and this monitor will be the only hardware (except mouse and keyboard) that I am keeping to use with the new PC. It has been that good to me. I'm sorry that some have had problems with this monitor, but i've used the newer model for 3 years and have had absolutely NO problems with it.
It's 3 years old and after checking online hardware sellers to see if I needed to purchase a new monitor, I found out that this monitor was still better than most newer CRT's for it's viewing range and especially it's dot pitch (even after looking at higher priced monitors).
The only gripe I have is that it has low refresh rates for ultra-high (1280x1024 and bigger) resolutions, but no monitor can be that perfect and most monitors have lower refresh rates for higher resolutions.
Overall, this monitor has been excellent and more that I had expected.

update on the monitor (Rating: 2.00)
Review : this monitor is great if your using it to read and surf the web. However, if you are chosing to watch dvds, movies, and look at pics don't get this monitor. The image quality for this monitor viewing JPEG, and MPEG is very poor. I'm updating my past post "decent product". I felt from the prolong expose to this monitor, I have to state some facts to people considering to buy it. If I had a choice over, to chose a pc monitor, I will not be so sure if I would have chose this monitor. It's works well in some aspects such and regular normal uses, but for viewing, it's seems like it doesn't really cut the bottom line.

in the past post, i've stated it works well with high quality JPEG and MPEG, but I've tried to played high quality MPEG(example: 700MB files) and have gotten poor images. That is not suppose to happen. I'm a little disappointed but for the price of the product, it's a deal. But sometimes, I'm wondering does the anti-glare work 100 bucks? Because regular CPT are running for about 150bucks, and bestbuy has this stuff for free delievery. This monitor costs around 220 not including shipping, which is an additional 40bucks, totaling to about 260bucks, which is a difference of 110 bucks. If the anti-glare doesn't matter to you, or for a matter of fact, if the anti-glare even works, you might want to consider another monitor. For those people seeking high quality imaging, I suppose Sony, i think sony product is slightly better for this technology, and the results should be more desirable.
