Does anybody know how the Samsung monitors compare with the NEC 3D and the 1950 on a 3000? I have an opportunity to buy a refurbished one for a very decent price, but after forking out for a 3000 I don't want to cut my self short with a monitor that is not up to scale. I believe the Samsung is model number 4451, or something similar. Can the Samsung and NEC support all the graphics modes that the 1950 can? Any other thoughts on 3000 monitors would be appreciated also.

The Samsung, as do many third party monitors, leaves a nasty black border around the edge of the Amiga display. This is annoying, for it not only reduces the size of the text, but also causes games to only fill up a portion of the screen. I don't know about the NEC, but the 1950 is the only monitor I've seen tweaked properly to work with the Amiga display; I'd reccomend it for that reason. You might regret another purchase.

Then again, you may not care about the black border (I don't), and
notice that CBM is charging large amounts of money for an inferior
monitor. In that case, buying CBM is something you will almost
certainly regret.
If large text (at the same resolution, meaning it's fuzzier as well)
is what you want, it's possible to buy a large VGA monitor (of
generally better quality) for the cost of a 1950. You lose some of the
newer modes, but it's a definite win if you've got uncorrected vision
problems.
