ummm that looks quite nice. The fact that it doesn't have a built in TV tuner is putting me off. Maybe I should waith until they make one?

@ejasim:
I have a Samsung TFT Screen and I had no problems in 3 years. (Only 1 deadpixel) And a friend of mine 2 years and no problems.
But my father has a sony one and the screen has 5 dead pixels in 2 years. And my girlfriend also has a Sony TFT screen and in 1 year (4 deadpixels)
So I finally prefer a Samsung.
(In my pint of view I prefer a DVI connector on the screen instead of TV tuner due to you can buy a TV tuner separately and shure it will be better)
Yours faithfully,

A DVI connector is a digital interface between the pc and the flatpanel, this is to stop the image being converted to an analogue signal to travel through a standard vga cable an back to digital inside the display. It should provide a better image quality. You have to have a graphics card with a dvi port to be able to use it.

A DVI Connector is a digital interface for the screen connection.
I mean if you have a graphic card with DVI connector, the image will be 100% digital (More sharp, more bright, more "vivid color")
[for example in games as Quake or Mohaa, the image in TFT screens is like "ghosted" in dark environments, but with the DVI conector this is soolved because the digital inferface]
And in the case that you haven't a graphic card with DVI conector, the screen will automatically transfer to digital image, it will not be as good as the other but the image will be improved.
I hope this info helps you!

I still think that Sony are the best, I have a 17 inch TFT Sony monitor now and it's the best thing I have ever bought
