I have 2 of these babies hooked up to a dual-output (both digital) 256MB graphics card. I tried the Westinghouse 22" (yes, I know, bottom of the heap, but it looked decent in store lighting) and the LG 22" with Flatron technology.There is no comparison. the 216BW is bright, crisp, and renders colors excellently. Oh,and just because it's bright does not mean it will tire your eyes.Some people out there think 21.6 inches is noticeably smaller than 22 inches. don't worry about it. It's really not.A small gripe, maybe: the bezel is wide, and having 2 of these babies side by side may cause games to be noticeably "split in the middle". Here's the good news: you get used to it; even if you don't, the widescreen allows you enough real estate to play on one panel, and run other applications on the other (such as email) on the other.All in all, it's a very worthy product. Samsung can count me as a repeat monitor customer.
