#3. 24" will not even power up, just has a quick flashing light (yesterday) - 1 1/2 years old
#4. 24" still working fingers crossed...

Just ordered a Dell 3008wfp... hopefully it's not a huge pile of crap like the Samsungs have been

It's funny I've always heard how good Samsungs were, now looking into it, seems tons of people are having issues.

I'm like an abused wife, I almost ordered a Samsung 305t last night... then I read it doesn't even have on screen menus, you can only adjust brightness, and it's not HDCP... lol

First off - bad luck there.
I've never had issues w/ Samsung screens, and mine are on 24/7. 4 years ago, I had one's tube go dim - and samsung replaced all THREE that I had, out of warranty, free, next day via courier coming to my house, picking up the old and dropping off the new.

Secondly - bad news. Samsung make all of Dell's LCDs. Sorry about that. So not only did you just buy another Samsung, you paid a premium to have 'DELL' stamped on it
