I have the Samsung SyncMaster 245BW, and it has far surpassed my expectations.

There are no connection ports, outside of the video cable, audio, RGB, and power.

The Samsung, hands down. I've seen the two side by side and there's no comparison, the Samsung is better.

You are welcome. You will love that monitor! I just found out, in these forums, that the replacement for the 245BW, has an HDMI connection. Go figure.

The new version. Not that there's a problem with the old one, but everything gets updated in the PC market, and very often at that.
