Samsung 959NF?

[Jake]

My sweet wife just gave me permission to buy a new monitor.

(It was my birthday yesterday)

What do you think of the new Samsung 959NF, the successor to the very praised 900NF?

Anyone know why it seems this model is only marketed in Sweden and Germany? You can't find it at www.samsungusa.com, but you can find it at www.samsung.se or www.samsung.de

I have also looked at Cornerstone monitors as they are very praised on these boards, but I have been unable to find any European distributors or Danish importers.

Regards,

Jake

I'm in the market for a 19" monitor too. So far I've been thinking about the Viewsonic P95f or PF790, the LG that guru likes so much, or possibly that samsung. I don't know which to pick... come on guys, lets have some more recommendations.

I say get a Iiyama VM Pro 451, I have one and it's a wonderful monitor.

Finally got it!

My new Samsung 959NF!

It's beautiful. The image is so sharp it almost hurts my eyes. Thx Greebe for kicking me in the face and waking me up.

I should have made this purchase long ago.
