I've read several reviews on Samsung LCDs and they all seem to get great reviews. I believe NewEgg even gave a Samsung LCD an award for being one of the best products of the month or something like that.<br /> <br /> Edit: Actually, it was a customers' choice award for the exact monitor I got. <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001096">Source</a>

There was a fair bit of controversy surrounding them as there were 3 different LCD panels made, yet all shipped as 226BW monitors. Apparently some of the newer ones were of lesser quality, but Samsung said the differences were next to nothing.<br /> <br /> Given that I currently have a 17&quot; LCD from BenQ with really poor picture quality, I don't think it'll make a difference to my eyes. Any new LCD is going to be better than this, and widescreen looks awesome.<br /> <br /> Anyway, as for resolutions, your screen (like almost all 22&quot; widescreens) is 1680x1050 native. The same aspect ratio would be 1440x900 if you need to run a lower res for framerates.
