Anyone reviews to Samsung 2494SW and LG W2453V?

Hello,

I didn't find much opionions or reviews on the above mentioned Models and I couldn't yet test them in store, because they are new to us in Germany. So I'd like to ask those of you, who had the chance to allready purchase one of the two and test it.

How are the monitors regarding things like whether there are lightish areas on the edges and corners of the display itself. How is the stand (wobbly?). Does what you see depend much on where you sit (in other words, is the 170degree/160degree (horizontal/vertical) really as stated in the specs). How did you come out with the sensor/touch-"knobs"? can the Ports on the backside easily be attained?

I could get the LG for 219,-EUR and the Samsung for 179,-EUR.

Here are the specs:
LG Electronics Flatron W2453V
Brightness: 300cd/m2, contrast: 50000:1, reaction: 2ms, viewingangle: 170/160, Panel: TN+Film, swivel, VESA Plug and Play: DDCCI, supports HDCP, easy formatchange from 4:3 to 16:9, HDMI, VGA , DVI, D-Sub, headphonejack, without DVI-cable, Power consumption: 42W (on), 1W (standby)
219,-EUR (4,50EUR Gas)

Samsung SyncMaster 2494SW
brightness: 300cd/m2, contrast: 50000:1, reaction: 5ms, viewingangle: 170/160, Panel: TN+Film, supports HDCP, DVI,VGA, D-Sub, Power consumption: 44W (on), 1W (standby), MultiScreen Software, stand: Standard/Tiltfunktion/Swivelfunktion, VESA Plug and Play: DDC2B, with DVI-Cable.
179,-EUR (11,60EUR Gas).

I want to use it mainly as monitor doing officework and Logic Pro (where I would have to see several audiotracks under one another, which is the actuall reason why I went for new monitor). I would also watch movies from DVD (don't have Blueray yet). I would play fast games only once a year, you could say.


I read some bad comments about Samsung being hesitant with support, when you have problems. (I wrote 2 emails regarding questions to a monitor and got no answer and this doesn't even belong to the support issue, while I got answers from LG to every single question within 24h). Has anyone exoperienced the same?
