good monitor ?

I found a deal on a Samsung monitor, 753 DFX Flat Screen, and I was wondering if anyone knew if it was good or of quality or whatever. The thing costs $199 CND, so it's not exactly given ... So when I'll buy a new monitor, I want something that will last.

I would look into the Samsung DynaFlat 955DF if I were you. I know several people here have this monitor and I've never heard anything but praise about it.

It's supposed to have excellent quality for a good price. It's only a few dollars more then what you found the 753 DFX Flat Screen for and it's a 19".

I've wanted one for a long time but always seem to buy something else. I need one bad though as my monitor's been dying for couple of years now. I have to have the brightness turned all the way up as well as the contrast and it's still extremely dark. I've already opened up the casing and turned up the master brightness on it once. But then the colors get more washed out. It's very bad for gaming. If the game does'nt have a brightness or contrast adjustment in it I can't hardly see anything.

By the way if you look online you can get that 753 DFX Flat Screen for around $150.00 shipped. But I know some people here are not able to order online so there forced to buy from the stores. Just thouht I'd mention that though.
