I think he was just unlucky with the panel he got...

Ah well... that kinda blows although I can certainly see where Hexus were coming from.

2nd the comment about where Hexus...

Do you mainly surf black background pages or white?

If black, then yes, it'll affect that a bit. If white/cream etc, it'll look perfect.

Thank you - I'm a complete noob with monitors.

Updated 2007?

I was also tempted to buy one but if there's a newer model coming out I may wait.

I ended up ordering a HP 20 inch screen for £190 with £50 cashback myself

Update on the Samsung 205BW - Had 1 dead pixel in top right of screen and made a high-pitched noise when brightness was turned below about 90%
Great screen apart from these faults

Returning to Amazon for replacement (now £198)

Can't remember where I read it, but I heard the reason Dell are doing such discounts on the 2007 atm is because there is a new one with Component Video on it coming out, which could be rather handy

I had a similar problem with the one I bought from PC World for £189. Except the couldn't hear the noise in the store due high background noise.

I've been looking at the Daewoo for my new setup - but do they all suffer from bad backlight bleeds?

If its a no go I`ll get the Belina 22" Widescreen instead, no DVI but said to be a decent cheap WS monitor...

[ageha]

Posting on behalf of kempez (just spoke to him) the monitor had bad backlight bleed on the top and bottom. He has just RMA'd it to Scan. Build quality was pretty good though and looks nice.

Has the 22" Daewoo L2200DM a 1:1 pixel mapping support in the OSD?

How much is the Belinea?

[braindancer99]

Its about £210 on overclockers...

Thanks for letting me know, but I'll pass in that case...

I got the 22'' Daewoo from Scan at the weekend, It looks the business in white, real good quality to the build and the picture is stunning through DVI, 100% recommended if anyone is on the fence about getting one.

Best £200 i've spent in a long time.
