wow,
tempted...

Looks like a lot of monitor for the money

Anyone got one? How is the input lag? Seems a bit high on the TFT Central review?

Not sure how to feel about the glossy finish too....

And to complicate things further my machine is quite old so gaming at that res might be an issue

True but a lot of people don't do this maxing out their cards I've stopped using them over 15 yrs ago an I'm a lot better off now credit cards should be banned.

Glossy screens just means all I see is myself which defeats the purpose not to mention being a right turn off.

I'm going to have to rearrange the room so that the window isn't behind me, but after seeing the glass panels in the apple store the other day I knew I wanted one.

True. If the Samsung looks anything like one of the Apple displays I'll be more than happy!

Credit cards are the least of peoples worries in the UK now, with companies like Wonga around, 3000+% APR anyone?

It`s a good looking monitor but a Glass-fronted monitor would put me of. I have a Asus PB278Q with it`s Semi-glossy finish and I get Reflection problems with my Cooler Master QuickFire TK with its White LED backlighting.

IN STOCK.

Price shall be held until 5pm or until they sold out, whichever comes first.

Arrggghhhh.

I have a PB278Q but really like glossy screens. Need to convince myself that's not enough to get one somehow.

Mine too! Good luck!

jazzmonst · 30 Sep 2013 at 12:30

I've just ordered one after my B Grade DGM had to be sent back due to a vertical line of stuck pixels. Decided to stop being cheap and plumb for a decent monitor. Will arrive tomorrow along with my Asus Matrix 7970

Gibbo · 30 Sep 2013 at 14:17

Time is running out, Samsung have confirmed they won't repeat it.

I am upping my price by over £100 come 5pm, so this is your last chance, I don't need to sell them this cheap when I can sell them all day long at £100 more, so don't miss out!!

ironmysox · 30 Sep 2013 at 15:46

Would this be a better monitor than the U2913WM for pc and console gaming?

Wizzkidy · 30 Sep 2013 at 15:52

Not interested with a glass screen :/

The window won't help but what about the normal light bulb in the room?
Gonna be tricky only using a monitor in nothing but pitch black...

Anyhow let us know how you get on and if the lights and reflections are really bad as some on here have suggested!

Just like with credit cards, you don't have to use them. There isn't a credit psycho roaming the street luring you into spending money on credit.

Credit is useful as long as you have the intelligence and self-control to use it sensibly.

Will let you know I will be using a small lamp in the corner of the room when I'm gaming an have the curtains drawn blocking out the sun which shouldn't be a problem this time a year.
Never be it total darkness using this monitor but should be dark enough to cut out most of the reflections.

Credit cards an self control never happened with me so stop using them lol.
