    2,048 x 1,152 !!!? Better get out the 4870x2's. Certainly a monitor ill consider for upgrading to when its released if its around the £200 mark. Any idea what connections it is going to have? just dvi or more>?

    TBH 1920x1080 would be better as a commonly supported res at the same aspect ratio

    Probably what it is so they can advertise better than Full HD.....

    And it's 16:9 instead of 16:10 so that'll make it shorter and wider.

    I guess it's some funny trick of the camera that makes it look small, else that girl is a lot bigger then I would expect.......

    If its around £200 and up to the Dell Ultrasharp quality, then it will be a fantastic buy.....but if it's only around the quality of the cheaper Dell panels, then meh.

    Re: News - Samsung unveils the 2342BWX: a super-wide 23in LCD monitor

    It'll have more in common with the cheaper Dells unfortunately - at that price it has to be a TN panel.

    Re: News - Samsung unveils the 2342BWX: a super-wide 23in LCD monitor

    yeah it will be a TN

    The was a piece on TFT central about a similar model SM2343BW same resolution etc retail price was quoted at 279 Euros = ~ £230

    Link to German Samsung specs page for the monitor

    Oh and it is 15mm narrower and 35mm shorter than an equivelent Samsung 24" screen
