I have this as my second monitor and love it. Eventually I hope to replace my eyestrain (and possibly glaucoma) causing CRT with it for a better two monitor setup.

Looking into a hopefully better future, does anybody know if it will fit in that great clamp for four monitors that Inthacup posted in this thread (http://tinyurl.com/85tr3). That would be the ultimate (the Samsung 213T is about 11% bigger than the Dell 2100FP)!

If you like to play games on your computer as well, the 25ms response time of the samsung isn't gonna work too well for ya.

The Samsung is $549 after $100 rebate now at ZipZoomFly.com with free shipping and no sales tax in WA. Dell charges sales tax here so only a few dollars more for a better monitor. Mine is arriving Tuesday.

Understood, response time of the Dell 2100FP is I believe 19ms. But I'm an old fart and haven't played computer games since Pac Man and don't plan to /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

DVD movies seem to play fine on the Samsung, given I don't have a decent TV or even a DVD player (except in the computer).

What is pathetic about having a lousy $180 25" TV (and no cable) since I don't think I've averaged watching more than a hour a week for the last two years? My music systems (in the bedroom, living room, and computer room) kick ass and I listen to music about 30 hours per week. I put my bucks were the bang is, so to speak.

Anyway, sort of have a new schedule and Saturday is now a social night while Friday is a long play day and night. Saturday daytime is also an online poker day - games seem to seems to be good during the afternoon based on a fairly small sample size.

Might play Live@Bike next Saturday night (or E might play instead while I hang in the 20/40 stud/8 or the 20/40 holdem). Could be a 2+2 fest with some of the players who participate in the threads (e.g., Russ McGinley (sp?)) in town. You should come and get your ass kicked again /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Got to go out for an hour or two and get some late afternoon sun (the best kind) and exercise. Do you ever do that or are you a 99% online poker caveman?
