My friend's got this one, but he's had to send it back twice because of manufacturing defects ... so you'd save some money, but maybe it's not as well built!

Well, based on his experience I'd agree. Then again it is a high-spec monitor for low-spec prices, guess they skimp on the QA.

Which is great as you've posted something substantive with, admittedly anecdotal, evidence to back it up. Naval on the other hand has just posted an opinion with no evidence or reasoning. Based on his previous post in this very thread which was completely wrong it's fair to say that he probably shouldn't be giving advice when large sums of money are involved.

ROFL

This place cracks me up. I'm flatter you're all fighting over me :P

That Acer looks OK, but its not as sleek as the the Samsung, and what you say about your mate having to have it replaced twice puts me off.

COD4 is fairly distracting as well with all its color and brightness.

Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 226BW Black 22" 2 ms (GTG) DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1(DC 3000:1) - Retail

I almost got that 24" monitor for around $320 from frys.com but they sold out, so I went with the 22" and it has looked great so far. I think Samsung has a 2-3 year return policy also if you find dead pixels, so I don't think you have much to worry about. Mine didn't come with an HDMI outlet, as mentioned above, but I think there are converters out there if the necessity presents itself.
I have the same monitor, the 226BW and love it. Paid $250

Niice. They cost £250 over here. The UK sucks for prices.
