Hi!

I wanna know if anyone has a Samsung 940B 19" LCD and what is your opinion about this monitor? I want a good monitor for my computer. Is it good for gaming? Did I make the good choice?

Sorry to take so long to get back...

The 940B has good respose times, but it trades color fidelity (only 16.2 million colors...) to get the speed - color won't be as good as others in the same price and size range.

For money alone, the best deal I've found is a 19" CTL 190X for 270.00 or so. Look for 16.7million colors display capability as well as low response times (about 12 to 16ms) with a high contrast ratio (500:1 or better) all in the same monitor...

Read some of the other threads here for some other recommendations too...
