3 out of 5 stars Not bad when it works   October 1, 2008
M. Wells (Phoenix, AZ USA)
I just got my 3rd 943BWX. The first two were defective. After 4 months, the first one crapped-out. It would work for about half an hour (or until it went into power-saving mode). Then it would just go black. The power light was still on, but no display. The same thing happened if turned the power off, then came back to use it again. When you turned it on, nothing but black screen. I RMA'd it to Samsung on 8/13. I got my first replacement (refurbished! what the heck is that???) on 8/30. As soon as I got it home from the UPS store, it was doing the same thing. I RMA'd this one on the same day (8/30) and I just got my replacement today (9/30). I wont buy from them again. :-(


5 out of 5 stars Finally 5 stars.   May 30, 2008

The first monitor was a DOA. I tried everything to get it to work. Amazon is amazing when it comes to returning items. The process of returning is very clean and a replacement was sent as soon as the UPS scan was completed.

The monitor is an outstanding value. The appearance is crisp and well defined. The software wasn't exactly compatible with Windows Vista (but what is?).

Fortunately,the Intel video driver on my laptop includes a rotation option. This works great!

I love my new monitor and even though I only rotate to portrait mode a couple of times a week, it's still well worth the price.

Don't be fooled, this is a 19" wide screen, it's not a 19" standard. It's much smaller than you would expect.



4 out of 5 stars A few more updates on rotation software   May 22, 2008
WhoFan (Texas)
The monitor itself is very nice and has a beautiful picture. It was very easy to set up with my Dell E1705 through the DVI interface. Since both are 1440 X 900 the display is crisp and clear. Color is excellent when playing DVD's.

Rotation makes working on documents easy on the eyes. Although this screen is only 2 inches (~5cm) larger than my laptop, the extra brightness reduces eye strain.

My only complaint is that the rotation software included does not boot very nicely with the anti-virus program (NOD32), once in while a reboot is necessary. Hopefully updated drivers will fix this in the near future.
