I have had a NEC 1850E flat-panel monitor for two or three years.
1280x1024. No problem with viewing angles +- 45 degrees horizontal or
vertical, as I now try moving around while watching it. Does the
Samsung monitor have one of the new-fangled shiny high-brightness
screens that reflect a lot of their surroundings? Supposed to be
better for TV and other video, but not so good for normal computer
stuff.
