Thing is... The 8000:1 contrast ratio and 2ms response time seems a bit inflated. Too good to be true sort of deal.

Is there anything better around this price range?

I just bought a Samsung SyncMaster 2053BW 20" about 30 minutes ago but have not tried it yet. I really like the design of it but it's a bit short even though the 22" (2253BW) might be a bit taller.

I love mine. I've had it about a month no problems. I bought it as I was buying all the stuff to build my new computer and ran it on my old comp before. I loved it then and I really love it now it it's widescreen goodness.

better rc doesn't need to tint the screen to make the black look better as for dc they are not real figures they say 8000.1 but it's not really 8000.1 they are just marketing scams

So, is there any LCD Monitors with 8000:1 Contrast Ratio under $300 CND?

I believe its a slightly improved 226BW. Great monitor. Nothing wrong with using a TN panel.

My personal biggest woe with TN's is the viewing angle.If only they could be much better then I would live with the colours and backlight bleeding.

The only time the viewing angel is a problem for me is when I'm trying to show something on the screen to someone, They have to lean right in front of the screen in order to see it :P

Also, another pretty flippin' awesome thing is that it has 1:1 pixel mapping!!!!!!

So, it doesn't stretch 4:3 ratios to fit 16:10! So all those characters in your older games don't look like dwarves! You just have to deal with non-native resolution, which isn't too bad.

Actually you dont really need the monitor to be able to do that cuz the nvidia and ATI drivers can do that as well.

They never worked for me. I tried on my 19" Samsung LCD and it was a no go. No matter what i did, everything was stretched. Their scaling thing was messed.
