    you could always wall mount the monitor using a bracket i think its abonus although tft's dont use much desk space having it on your wall means no desk space is taken at all, always a plus i find!

    (to the first bit), I thought all Samsungs (205, 206, 225 and 226) were height adjustable.

    Is the Samsung good for gaming? As with everyone I am in the market for a 20-22" Wide Screen. The Belinea 102035W and the Dell 2007WFP look good but my mate has a Samsung and it blurs quite badly. I have a Dell 19" at work which is crisp, has height adjustment, has USB ports and looks great... but this comes at a price.

    Ideas?

    I have the 2007WFP and love it, very crisp, colourful and quick display with loads of input options, havent tried any of the larger dell's though

    Apparently that's one of the changes from the 225, but I can't be 100% sure. I can't remember where I read it.

    I've just placed my order for one, hopefully with a bit of bumping I can have it soon

    Just received a V7 L22WD for £200 to replace an Acer 19" widescreen.
    It has DVI/DSUB and speakers, looks a bit washed out colour wise but response time is good and text is fairly good.
    Overall not as good as a the old Acer 19" or the 24" Dell but a cheap way to get a big screen.

    The Samsung 226 has won the PC Pro award for best 22" monitor and is now on the A List . Very small review in the current issue.

    They say it's better than the 22" Dell, I was going to get that

    Yea, try finding one in stock though

    Overclockers had 10+ in stock yesterday - now they are all gone. Most other sites say 10 -14 Days (which usually means ages)

    I want one now!

    On another note, why don't Scan stock other Samsung monitors? Can't seem to find a reason in the forums..

    Mine just arrived from wizardprice, took quite a while as I think demand was very high! But it's the s panel, which is supposedly the better one? More info when it's set up, currently my back room looks as though there has been a slaugther of PCs, with half opened chassis, bits, drive cages and lots and lots of tools everywhere!

    eta: looks the biz too, so unbelievably hot. But I was so excited, I covered it in my perspiration handprints
