I also have my fair share of bad experience with samsung LCD monitors .
1st time sent took them 3 weeks to repair , then i pick up it lasted 3 days the problem back . Then send for repair again , took another 3 weeks . Sold it off after that .
Then i bought a Dell LCD , lasted me 2years then the power button give prob , call them up 2 working days they gave me a replacement LCD no questions ask . Thats what i call good after sales service !
