Thanks all for the responses. The Samsung that we purchased seems very nice - and makes my CRT look big and bulky in comparison. I have a few minor gripes about the Samsung.

The first is that while there are many ways to control color tones, that there is not a setting to change white balance. In order to do that, you must change the RGB controls. This is not in and of itself bad, it is just more difficult.

According to my monitor spyder, the display is nearly perfect - but it seems much cooler than my own monitor (which is dead-on accurate). I am going to start attaching the printer tonight and see what happens when I knock out some photos on my wife' computer.
