Digital BW, The Print

Hi Ben,
Where did you find a 214T for $200?
Everything I see is closer to (US) $400.
thanks
Mike J.

AnnMarie,

I replaced a 24" Dell with a 21" Samsung 214T two years ago.  What a
difference it made in the amount of remakes that I had to do.  When I was
using the Dell, there was a problem with blue/green colors which the monitor
could not distinguish even though it was profiled.  It was like it was
color-blind.  The Samsung monitor worked well right out of the box, but when
I profiled it, I seldom need to do any reprints now.

I was so pleased with the performance of the Samsung, I purchased a second
one for another work station.  This second new 214T cost less then $200.  I
could not justify paying ten times (or more) that amount for an Eizo when
these work as well as they do.  I do have two 17" Eizo monitors, and they
are great, but the cost?????

The Dell is now connected to a DVD player; viewing movies is a function
which it works well.

Ben
