Dell or Samsung Screen?

[sLux]

Okay, since my 20" Samsung Syncmaster 206BW Display is smoked, i sended it to the manufactory and they said they could not repiar it and will give me my money back. Heres the dilemma, i have been looking on a dell screen witch is on sale right now, anyone have some good experience with the Dell UltraSharp™ 2007WFP 20.1" Widescreen Moniter? I personally love the design. What screen do you guys think i should buy? The dell or the samsung again?

Ty anyways

Get up.

There are lots of great monitors - one being the 20 or 24 inch Dell that many love (myself included).

One might believe that there are few manufacturers and lots of sellers so check out the others. I bought a 22 inch LG and it is very nice. Remember Dell is a seller not a manufacturer so their monitor could be under another brand name.

If you can afford it, look at Apple and maybe push the money into a fresh computer with a screen - like the 24" iMac. I did this as well.

Lots of good choices at least here in Toronto.

Hi Slux!

That's a bit worrying to hear - I have the Syncmaster 206BW as well! What happened to it exactly?

As you've probably also noticed the Dell's are quite expensive over here in europe: The E207 is comparable to the Samsung 206BW but a bit more expensive.

However: They currently have a special offer on the 2007WFP that looks quite good: It uses a different panel to the E207 and 206BW that is the same as the one used by Apple in the 20" cinema display.

Check out the offer here:

IMO, as much as I dislike any company that has so many non-english people on the phones, I would go for the Dell.

It looks hawt.

Thats why i consider the Dell, i see they have 20% Off atm.
What exactly happened to the samsung im not quite sure, it burned down as i could see. And there came smoke out of the back.

I've read a lot of reviews about samsung's bw series having stuck pixels and a lot of light bleed and stuff.

Dells use Samsung LCD panels

 

[sLux]

Is that a thumps down for samsung or what?

 

[Aptmunich]

Well, with the Samsung, you know what to expect as you've already had one before.

The Dell E207 I'd stay away from. The 2007 looks promising as it uses a better LCD technology... but it's still a bit more expensive than the Samsung.

A little, bit not that much, i think im 70-30 on dell, the dell screen looks a bit more pretty too, i will call them tomorrow to hear if it comes with a DVI cable
