New monitor

My new monitor came today (free warranty replacement since the old one blew), 11 days after I placed the phone call. It should have been sooner I think, since Samsung sent it 2nd-day air, but somehow UPS managed to take 5 days to deliver it.

I got a 715v to replace my old 175v. It’s quite a bit brighter but IMO doesn’t look quite as attractive (case-wise). Although the box said refurbished, it looks like new, with no bad pixels or case blemishes.

Samsung was great to deal with on the phone, quick to resolve my problem, and has a great 3-year warranty. We have 4 Samsung LCDs and I did have a Samsung CRT that was the best one I had ever owned. I highly recommend the slight price premium; they are good monitors from a good company.
