Yes, tested with my secondary PC, looks just as bad. I am now only considering the fact that my monitor is not calibrated properly or that it's defective, gonna bring back to shop for checkup again.
Seriously, I kinda lost confidence on samsung, I actually didn't want to get a samsung lcd but due to quite a number of people recommending it, not forgetting websites as well, I decided to go for it, thinking it couldn't go any real bad considering so many people love it, but now, I'm stuck with a bad LCD IMO.
All my colour is jumble up, this is most apparent in desktop and internet explorer.
In desktop, my icons are blur. In internet explorer, the "background white" is blinding me.
So the only feasible option was for me to lower the brightness and contrast to a very very low level. And my gamma too.
So, I am trying to get people to tell their settings or at least how to calibrate this LCD monitor to display the colour it should be.
So far, seems that most use the settings at default or magicbright and all isn't feasible to me, it's to bright, light colours appear too bright/light and dark colour appear too dark.
When I visit sites that test your monitor by displaying a set of shades of colours, it look terribly ugly to me. I don't know whether those sites are accurate or not as I have yet to get a good LCD running at those sites.
All I can say is it's frustrating to pay more for this 19" LCD and yet to me it seems much more inferior to others. It post 5ms but to me, in some video, I could really feel there is ghosting effect.
But well, this is my experience with it but it seems there is tons of many others who are having good experience with it so I may be exceptional, I don't know.
Well, no matter how effective their QC is, perhaps one or two units slipped through the QC and now one of them is with you.
