In a larger historical context I would disagree with this over generalization. Samsung has produced plenty of crap over the years and it's one reason why the Samsung units I have in the house are some early Spinpoint HDDs and 8x0 SSDs. From monitors, TV's to phones Samsung has produced plenty of garbage not to mention outright lied on claimed specifications. Hell, they had a hard time making a monitor with native adapter free dual HDMI input and PiP for years when LG had no issues.

Should I date a 24 year old I met on OkCupid? I'm 39.

She came from the internet... so, probably not.


Did she ask for your credit card # up front? If so, she's a keeper.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

When you can keep her in a human terrarium as part of the deal of course.

When the lady I like cannot make a good joke I walk on. A sense of humour is vital if you are to spend time together.

If anyone is in the market for cheap color accuracy with computer monitors, go with Eizo

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G22K6959

Color accuracy after calibration:

For these graphs, the bar graphs on the right are what's most important. Lower is better, and anything below 2 on the bar graph is considered imperceptible by the human eye.

But, the thing that makes this monitor special is that it has a proprietary zero latency input circuit. Most LCD panel-based monitors have quite a large delay between the input signal and when said signal is actually displayed. This monitor has none. Zero. Zilch. This coupled with a good (4.9ms) panel response time makes it exceptionally good for gaming. For older console gamers, it basically feels and plays like a CRT. A lot of speedrunners and competitive Smash players use it for this reason.
