I skimmed it, so it comes down to it's not the monitor from God.

It is if the panel is made by Samsung

Samsung made the 2032/2232BW's because of this...

according to that site.

"We are tempted to say it’s starting over; however, this isn’t entirely true. Samsung has learned some lessons from bad experiences with the 226BW and it was explained to us that, "The polemic surrounding its panels killed the product". Samsung Korea thus had its engineers work on replacing the discredited 226BW and the result was the 2232BW."

Its says on that site that even if the letter S is written at the back of the LCD that doesn't necessarily mean you have an "S" panel. You will find instructions on how to determine what panel you have on that site.

But those are thick, and in my opinion, ugly border-size monitors. The 226CW looks exactly the same as the 226BW, which I vastly prefer.

Is this still an issue for the 226bw monitors or has Samsung stopped shipping the A and C panels? I'm thinking about buying one tomorrow so I'd like to know! Right now I can get it for $420, which is a good price here in sweden at least.

If you dont think I should buy this monitor, which one should I go for?

nah all that crap about A and C panels ended a long time ago.


You'll get an S panel, guaranteed.

I sure hope so! Is there anyone else who can confirm this?

And should I go for the SAMSUNG 22" Syncmaster 2232BW instead, I think it's newer?
