Default Re: Great deal on a Samsung 204B

[ QUOTE ]
mini-hijack: Can anyone comment on the stability of the 204B? Maybe it's just the pics, but to me it seems like the base is ridiciulously small (i.e. the width of the base, the footprint) compared to the monitor. I realize the base is made of a heavier material, but I still have concerns it might become top heavy and fall over since the footprint is so small (compared to something like the 2001fp which seems to have a much larger/wider base)

Thanks,
J

There's a reason I ignore the reviews on newegg I'll purchase from them if they have the best price, but I prefer to get unfiltered/unbiased opions (like what I'd get by asking a simple question from people who happen to own the product in question)...but whatever, I'm probably going to save my FPP's for the 244T anyways.

cheers,
J

I got 2 of these a couple weeks ago off of Newegg for $359 each w/ free shipping. I want to get 4 total but I don't have the roll free to do it right now.

I love the 2 I have, these are very very sweet.
buy.com has a great stand for 4 of these that is $250 shipped. http://www.buy.com/prod/Ergotron_Qua.../10368148.html

Check it out if you want 4 of these this stand is a must!

Brendan

To answer your original question, the base is fine. I just tried shaking my desk (with my 204B on it) and the monitor is still upright and stable.....though the bobble head is going.

jasonHoldEm,

I went out and bought another one today. I have no problem with either and both are solid. I have not had problems with either of the two I own. I have not found dead pixels on either monitor and both show no signs of wobble on my desk.

I am very happy with both of them. The only complaint I have is that the viewing angle sucks compaired to the 204t, but that's the price you pay to get a 5ms response time. The angle never bothers me when I'm using the computer, only when I'm trying to look from 15 feet away or so, and then I don't care because I want to be able to play games. (Natural Selection and HL:2, no problems.)

Hopefully that will answer your questions.

I got mine last week, I posted the thread here --- slightly better deal.

For $327 after tax and CA monitor fee included($35).

Well, only 2 dollars cheaper.

You guys are complaining, I will be buying this monitor today for 500 euros! That's like 650 dollars.

I bought my first about 6 weeks ago, and I absolutely love it... The only problem is that I have a dead pixel. I think what I'm going to do is buy a second, and ship the one with the dead pixel back, so I'll still be able to have a monitor while it is on delivery....
