Okay, update.
As I mentioned, I had the original packaging still handy, so I dug it out, opened it up, and discovered that the monitor was still under warranty. (Yay,
Samsung, for 3 year unlimited warranties!) So... it's going back to Samsung today for repair. They don't have any comparable monitors to swap with me,
unfortunately, so I'll have to rent one for a little while (just long enough for us to finally buy Peggy her laptop after much procrastination). But
basically, the buy plan is now dead.
And I was misremembering my monitor stats. 21", 1680x1050. I can't use anything too much bigger because my desk has a dedicated monitor cubby in its
hutch right in front of the seat/keyboard tray that was designed for a CRT. I might be able to fit a 22" widescreen in it, but I doubt anything larger
would fit.

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
