Samsung 955DF or 997DF?

[DaveC]

Anandtech recommends the Samsung 955DF, but it looks to me like the specs are better on the 997DF. What am I missing? Why would I want the 955DF instead?

I bought a 997df at Best Buy couple weeks back and I've been very impressed (from a Dell 17inch E770). Runs games at 1600x1200 beautifuly, no problems yet. Takes up almost the same amount of space too as the 17incher.

The 955DF is bulletproof! However, do not use Windex cleaning any Samsung monitor. This one is 3 years old and the shadow mask is getting a tad flaky. Great colors and response though! Maybe Anadtech didn't like the colors as much on the 997.
