 Absolutely Amazing. July 14, 2008

There is a TON you could write about this monitor...but for the sake of endless paragraphs I will sum it up like this: this monitor is absolutely dollar for dollar the best monitor on the market right now (remember...technology changes quickly), and it's built for the future with HDMI & D-Sub. The picture simply can't be put into words - it's absolutely beautiful. Bright (but doesn't burn your cornea's), clear & rich. Motion, even during the fastest scenes of a movie or game (again remember....some of this has to do with your own pc & it's video card and processor) is FLAWLESS.
Net net is that you get a monitor that delivers the performance, looks & reliability of a super high end monitor for a mid range price. Stand is flexible in multiple ways, including the ability to be raised and lowered (do NOT underestimate that, most monitors don't allow for that). If you're in the market for a top end monitor from the leader in LCD's (Viewsonic / Nokia etc would be in the CRT realm), get this monitor.
Peace out, happy 420

I bought two of these monitors online. One has an incredible sharp and clear picture, the other not so much. It seems like Samsung is manufacturing these monitors in different factories and some produce higher quality then others. Unfortunately I bought both monitors at an online store that has a not very favorable return policy, so I am stuck with a monitor that is essentially useless to me. Do yourself a favor and buy this type of monitor from a merchant where you are certain that you can return the product. If you get a good monitor you will love it. If you get one of the not so good ones you will hate it. Text lacks in sharpness and nothing can fix it. :( I am rating this monitor with a two because I am sick and tired of Samsung's policy to produce monitors at different factories with vastly different quality. This is true for many Samsung monitors. Check out reviews for several monitors and you will see what I am talking about.
The monitor is GLORIOUS! June 27, 2008

I built a new gaming rig and got this monitor to replace an old 17" NEC LCD. My dad purchased the 22" Samsung and has been really happy with it, based on the reviews I decided to give this a shot.
Ordered from Amazon and it came a week later via the SuperSaver shipping. Box is pretty big. Upon opening at home the monitor is massive, much larger that my old monitor. Set up was easy and it works well with my computer and video card. I decided not to go with Vista, running XP and I have a pretty beefy video card (Radeon HD 3850).
Again this monitor is massive and very bright as other reviews have mentioned. My video card has dual output so I've got my old monitor next to the Samsung and it looks dim by comparison, but it's at least 5 years old. For me initially the size and brightness were overwhelming, but over the course of a couple weeks I've become accustomed to both. The picture is outstanding and I've had no issues with video or gaming on it. I can run Call of Duty 4 at 1900x1200 and it looks gorgeous. Unfortunately the frame rate is a little lower than I'd like so had to back down, but that's my video card and cpu, not the monitor. Can play Command and Conquer 3 at the highest settings and it looks amazing too.
A slight concern was speaker pop when turning on and off, but I'm not using the speakers on the monitor and it's no longer an issue since I've turned them off altogether.
I would highly recommend this monitor, it's my favorite part of my new rig.
Good buy for a good money June 17, 2008

I have bought this monitor from another seller (amazon cannot send electronics to my country), but I have decided to review this monitor to make others a little bt more information about this device.
In the shop I have tested this monitor and compared it to another 22-24" monitors. And I have seen (for my view) that th coors are... hmm... more acceptable than in other tested monitors, and average lag (the post-effect after quick move objects on the screen) is the least on that monitor.
Of course, the Samsung 245T monitor's colors and angles are much better - because 245T has S-IPS matrix, and this monitor - TN+film. But (!) it is MUCH quicker matrix than S-IPS one, so this monitor is better for games and movies. Hat is for the angles - I do not pay uch attention to it - the current ones are comfortable for me.
I think, for this price it is the best monitor, maybe except for Dell 2408, but that one monitor costs about 100$ more... And much more rare in my country :)
Great Buy May 25, 2008

Great Picture. Great Compatibility with my Vaio with Bluray Drive.
But one needs to tweak this before using. The buttons on the panel suck though. Overall a good buy.
