Hello
My Current monitor (Sony Trinitron 17" CRT) is overheating (switches itself off, once it overheats) and has trouble scanning and very noticeable flickering.
I am interested in Widescreen monitors as this is the way the future seems to be going.
I have looked at the Gateway FPD8125 and the Samsung 215. Both are 21" at native 1680 x 1050.
They both have striking similar features and I'm certain these are both the same 8 bit panels
Do I go for the
Gateway which I can buy from Comet (down the road) @ £300;
OR
Get the
Samsung from an online e-tailer @ £353 + delivery from Overclockers.
The samsung has in-built speakers that I don't need as I have Premiuim DD speakers;
The Gateway is black that I prefer;
The Gateway OS that runs the monitor compared to the Samsung OS, I'm not so sure on this;
Both are HD Compliant;
And If I have dead pixels, the Comet (Gateway) will be easy to return.
Thanks
