    Trying to decide on a monitor

       I've been looking at monitors for weeks now and can't decide. I've narrowed my choices down to these 2 and would like opinions and thoughts on them.

    If you can afford it, I'd definitely get the one with LED backlight...  The LED backlight really gets you the same kind of contrast ratios that you can get on a CRT, where blacks are black instead of grey and whites are so bright they light up the whole room.

    Onboard RAID vs. 3Ware RAID

    I never recommend people run RAID-5 with onboard chipsets.

    I would have to agree with Sidicas here except for the fact the resolution is lower on the Samsung LED backlite versus the Samsung HDMI and not knowing what VC you are using makes it harder to say which would be best for what you plan on doing.
