    Hi all. So I finally bought my 22' Samsung and although it came with the infamous A panels I hooked it up.

    After reading about 150 reviews on Newegg I was pretty sure this was the right screen - all saying this is the best 22' out there.

    First thing I noticed was that the colours were WAYY of from factory. ("upgrading" from a ViewSonic so) Anyho adjusted the colours but still have a huge problem with black and white;

    The just look so awfull on this screen!

    Was playing Oblivion which was impossible because in dark areas everything just turned into one big grey cloud.

    I also gave up watching Last Exile after that oh so pretty milky sky on my CRT turned into 22 inches of pure indistinguishable whiteness on my Samsung.


    I don't know if theres something wrong with my screen or neweggs reviewers eyes?

    So:
    Is it common for LCD's (TN panels) to display light and dark colours so poorly?
    Is there some sort of adjustment trick that make it all go away?
    Or should I return and get an S version instead of my A?
    OR - return and save up for a Dell 2407?
