I don't know but I've been having out of the ordinary bad luck with Samsung.

First the work horse monitors at work, went out one by one and now my home machines just started displaying nothing but white.

I forgot to mention that it had a nice line of red dead pixels down the center of the screen 45 days after I bought it.

I found a really nice one online for $249 (it's a 21 inch W I think, it just came out on new egg) so I'm debating on getting that, my rooms not really big enough for anything bigger.

I bought a Samsung monitor and 2 no name monitors (on sale for the kid) and 3 years later the Samsung is dead and the no name are working just fine. Go figure.

I have a pair of 204B monitors and they are working like champs... A buddy has the 206B and he hasn't had any problems yet.
