I'm thinking Samsung is a big enough company that they probably
won't try to cheat me in that department. Plus if they do, they
have some kind of facility here in Austin, so worse comes to worse
I can go in person and demand my money.

If you spend most of your working hours in front of it, $700-ish
is actually not a lot at all to spend on a monitor. It's a small
price to pay for increased productivity and for preserving your
eyesight.
Plus, I spent about that much on the last monitor I bought new,
which was a 17" CRT monitor with a 15.9" viewable area. That was
about 7 years ago, so if I buy a new $700 monitor every 7 years,
then I'm only spending $100 year, which is totally worth it
considering how much one-on-one time me and the computer have.
