Now that my viewsonic has died, I'm looking at this monitor. I know there is (or was) a controversy with the S vs A models, but has anyone got this monitor, and if so, what do they think?

We've got 206BW's here at work, it's basically exactly the same, just the 20" model.

They look great and the colour/back lighting combination is really good.

As far as I can tell they've sorted out the A vs. C vs. S mess and are now only shipping S models. They're really good monitors.
 
Delivered one to a client a few days ago, didn't have the S, A or C on the back, so no idea what panel it was, but according to Samsung they're all S panels now AFAIK.

Anyways, the screen looked great, and the client is very happy with it so far.
 
I got one from Incredible Connection coupla months back, S-Panel, I must say its a totally awesome monitor and no problems with it whatsoever :D
 
One word get this awsome monitor.

I have one and it's ideal for everything.

Everything looks vivid and games look amazing @ 1680X1050.

Preset modes ie gaming,internet,text, movies ect is all very nice.
 
As I have previously posted I am also interested but wanna make sure that i get the better of the panels available at the mo.. just confirm then that if the monitor does not show the A/S/C model on the back that it is good to buy and not the A/C version? Like the ones at incredible Co now?

Hey... if you're in cape town i can get you one for about R2750 new.. b.t.w... not trying to pawn anything off on you... brand-spanking-new from Sahara... you can even pick it up yourself... actually, you'd have to cause I'm in Jhb.
 
just for info, sahara only sells "c" panels, confirmed by them
 
i dont wanna go in the whole story now, but there is another thread here about the different panels that the monitor was shipped with, basically a A, C and S panel.. The S panel is the original Samsung panel and the best one, while the other 2 have some flaws in them, like bad colour setup initially etc...

Search for the other post and you will get all the answers there... trust me, I am also keen on this monitor, but I want the S panel version or nothing....

When I bought my one, it was the one on display - S Panel. This was coupla months back, I dont know about now. Though lotsa ppl did say they had C Panels in stock..
 
As far as i could see when i went to incredible co in cape town last week, the one they had on display didn't have the panel on the back of the monitor, but the "secret service" menu showed what i think is an C model.. When i asked if they could go check what they have in stock, they said they couldn't open any of the boxes, so they lost out on a sale...
