Having finally taken the plunge and replaced my chunky old behemoth Dell 19" monitor in an attempt to free up some valuable desk space and prevent me from getting a hernia carrying it to and from group gaming evenings, I finally took the plunge and bought the SyncMaster 940BF.
It's a lovely screen. I was expecting to get at least one bad pixel, but it is absolutely flawless. The screen surround is very narrow, so the monitor won't take up any more space than absolutely necessary, and would prove excellent in a multi screen display.
The build quality is very good. The plastic moldings and assembly are very robust. My only slight criticism is that the rear panel which covers the leads as they exit at the back has a tendency to fall off as it is held on only by friction mountings, but this is more an irritation than a practical problem. It's fine if you don't move the leads around.
It comes with all leads required including power, analogue and digital connectors. Personally, I tried both and could discern absolutely no difference in picture quality between digital and analogue modes, but since my KVM switch only supports an analogue lead, this is a good thing for me. I'm not missing anything by using the analogue lead.
Refresh is extremely fast, with no visible blurring or ghosting, and the native 1280 x 1024 resolution is perfectly adequate for all but the most demanding users. The picture is sharp, and lighting even.
All in all, thoroughly satisfied with my purchase.
