For its price and intended audience, I am confidant that the Samsung 172w will be well received. As I said, if you plan on using your PC for both work and play and don’t mind working in the 16:9 aspect ratio, this monitor looks great, performs well, offers some impressive specs and won't break the bank. I am happy to see the wall mount is included. I was also quiet pleased to see the DVI capabilities. My only real complaint are the speakers, which in most cases will be bypassed just the same.
