Although i saw a LG in greece, next to a samsung, HP and other monitors (like 20 of them) and this thing had the sharpest image, with the best colour and just looked soo much better...!!!!!!!!
i think Samsung is definitely the best for Lower Priced Monitors / TVs, if you are willing to pay 3x or more for a standard monitor you will get much better quality, but for the main Home user that is on a budget imo Samsung is the way to go.
