I just ordered this one as an early Christmas present. What do you all think ? I have the graphics cards to support this wide screen monitor. I'm just wondering if this one was the right choice so I can continue or cancel my order.

I'd say that's pretty good. Overpriced for my tastes, but definately a good monitor. I have a 226BW and it's fucking awesome.

What's the deal with the monitor's driver ? I never had to install such a thing.

edit:
nm could be driver support or something. Says something like that on the cd which is cool.

You don't have to install the monitor drivers.

It is. All my CD did was link me to samsung's website which included drivers so your computer can identify that it's the specific brand and model. Not necessary.

Is your Q6600 actually necessary?

Seriously, fuck off. You've said similar things like this to people all throughout the tech forum. When I first posted about my new computer you claimed I "got all my money from mommy and daddy" because I live on Long Island. Meanwhile I live in a 3 bedroom ranch with 3 people, and earned all of the money by working.

Hell at that price I'd just keep saving and get a sexy HDTV. Same resolution, far bigger and sexier screen >.>

I had to cancel my fin order because the phone numbers don't match on my credit card and I don't remember which order there in. My dad lets me use his card for whatever I tried 4 different numbers and it didn't work. He's always working and he gave me his card so I can eat and stuff. Looks like I'm just going to go to bestbuy and pick up something else. Oh I also found out COMP USA is closing the whole chain so don't be mad when it does.

That's a great monitor!
Been thinking of getting one my self, just not willing to spend that much at the moment

I ended up getting the SyncMaster 2220wm 22in flat Samsung monitor since I had to cancel my order for the 24 inch. I think it's big enough so this will do. I might pick up Bf2 again because it looks pretty good at 1680 by 1050.

Good thing too. You don't want the 245B - it's a bit crap. TN panel with 6-bits per channel, urrrgggghhhh.

Colours > response > resolution (which will be standard for the screen size anyway so isn't worth worrying about) - formula to live by when selecting monitors. Bad colours = bad monitor.
