[Gllug] My monitor just went splat !

[Pavel Bradut Boghita]

well, out of the box or in the box, Samsung should really do the honourable 
thing and replace your monitor (they would have a 1 year parts 1 year labour 
warranty on their product and as long as it is a genuine Samsung product they 
should honour their warranty commitment)
If when it went splat, you saw everything converging in a bright spot in the 
middle of the screen then the news is not good.
