Just got a new Samsung 193P monitor (backed up by some good reviews) at work. Neither the new 173P nor 193P have harwdware accessible OSD buttons, depending on Samsung’s “MagicTune” drivers. Not mentioned on their site (and contrary to AnandTech’s review) is that the drivers are only available for Windows. Bad form.

A workaround is to set up the monitor on a PC, which will at least allow me to turn down the blinding brightness of it (but won’t do much good for color correction, much less pivot support). Suffice to say, this monitor is not recommended if you’re not on a Windows PC. (While I’m griping, the monitor has a dead pixel, but what can you do?)

Also, not surprisingly their Download Center web page doesn’t work properly in Mozilla/Firefox.
