Rudy,
Babydoll (my other half) and I just upgraded to Samsung SyncMaster 226BW
LCD monitors. They are 22 inch widescreen models with some of the best
specs available for this type of monitor. We paid about $330 (USD) each for
them and neither of us has any complaints to note.
And what you were told about them is correct. The monitors come with a
driver disk that must be installed. They will be recognized and set up for
60Mhz refresh. Do NOT change that setting. However, you will probably
want/need to change the resolution to better fit everything on the screen.
1680 X 1050 is the monitor's max resolution. Enjoy!
Peace,
GMan
