Does anyone have any experience with SAMSUNG DGIS very-high
resolution monitors?  We do, and they've been bad experiences.

The DGIS DOS driver we have does not work with Windows 3.1 and
XVISION (from VisionWare).  In fact it causes XVISION installation
to crash with a stack fault.  If you happen to already have 
XVISION installed, switching to the DGIS driver can cause a
serious crash with loss of many (unrelated) files from your
hard-disk. 

Has anyone had success with the monitor?  Can you help us out?

By the way, in the two-monitor configuration (one SAMSUNG as
graphics, one VGA as text) the SAMSUNG board does not always 
boot on reset.  (This is mounted on a 486 AST PC/AT, by the
way.)
