Telling TS to avoid Samsung monitors? That's a pretty unhelpful post (or borderline rude) to be honest with you.

Your post seems to tell me that all Samsung monitors are flawed.

I own a Samsung monitor (Syncmaster 943SNX+) and while it is not the best monitor, it has been serving me fine for nearly 5 years without issues.

I wouldn't want a glossy monitor... The glossy finish can become a huge distraction especially when working with large amounts of text, watching videos or gaming.
