I have a Samsung 172S at my office, and it's been a fabulous monitor. 
I think that it does black pretty well.

There should be a "Natural Color" utility on the CD that came with
the monitor
which will allow you to make all the necessary adjustments to the
monitor,
including balancing out both color and greyscale areas.

However, it is a windows-based utility (but it does work).   I don't
know if
it will run under Win-OS2 or if Samsung has any OS/2 utilities on
their website.

Good luck!
