NCIX has it at a insanley cheap price, is it worth getting over my Samsung 206BW?

Cheaper even...

But the viewing angle worries me. I'd do your research. 160* typically means a TN based panel (but not always).

I've found with LCD's that you really do get what you pay for.

Acer LCD technology is still less sophisticated than LG and Samsung. Its monitors tend to die fast.

unlike some other computer stuff

yeah i reckon lcd's are usually priced to reflect how good the panel is....

once i started finding the good panels...i found that they have prices to match - basically because there are so few really good panels.

I would say spend the extra cash and get the Dell 24".
