I've been using a Samsung Syncmaster 753DFX for the last two years and 
have found it excellent. It's flat and sharp all over the screen. I have 
never found the need to use its adjustment controls over that period, 
although close examination shows that a slight bowing inwards at the 
centre of the top and bottom borders (less than two mm).

With X Windows the image is displaced about 7 mm to the right compared 
with a non-X Windows display, but this is easily corrected by xvidtune.
