excellence...

About the product, everything is excellent and about the salesman and the delivery, excellent, Amazon it is a very responsible company I congratulate them.

Great Monitor!

I love this monitor! The contrast and picture on this monitor are great! And you won't find a better looking monitor than this one. I did a lot of research before choosing this monitor. I don't believe there's any other 20" monitor for the price that comes close to the quality of this one! Thank you Samsung!

Samsung Syncmaster 206BW

In keeping with the prevailing aesthetic of this category, Samsung's 206BW is fancily clad in black plastic and brushed aluminum, much like ViewSonic's VX2035wm. And as with that model, you can tilt the screen only forward and back. The height stays put. A circular base serves as a lazy Susan of sorts for swivel functions.

In the past, we've taken issue with Samsung's "hands free" displays, which relegate all screen adjustments to software; fortunately, this model strikes a compromise, offering OSD buttons (in addition to the software) that are discreetly placed beneath the bezel's bottom edge. Luckily, labels on the bezel help guide your fingers. In Samsung fashion, the adjustment options are plentiful and include a handful of presets for various types of content--movies, games, text, etc. We've actually come to appreciate these presets. They make overall changes to the brightness, contrast, and gamma that would take many more steps to achieve through standard OSD operations. HD videophiles will appreciate the 206BW's HDCP support.

The 206BW's performance in DisplayMate was strong. Evidence of backlight seepage around the extreme perimeter of the screen was its most notable failing. That was sufficiently offset by stellar grayscale reproduction and marked distinctions between shades at even the extreme dark and light ends. Text looked crisp and clear, and content of all stripes, including games, was reproduced without flaws. While this was also the case with HP's L2045w, Samsung's 206BW bested that model with a more vibrant, lively picture. In the end, we're prepared to declare this our new favorite budget desktop LCD.

+ Superb grayscale; strong real-world performance.

- No screen-height adjustment; subtle perimeter backlight seepage.

Verdict: 9 out of 10

Quality Monitor

This monitor is quite a good buy at this price. It works well and has a beautiful picture. Black light bleeding is minimal on my unit. The entire picture is clear and bright. Also, I experience no ghosting while playing games. The only issue I had was with some mechanical buzzing coming from the monitor while viewing dark things such as websites and some games. I did what one other reviewer suggested and tightened my power and DVI connectors and the noise stopped. The other issue I have is the blue power LEDs are quite bright, but that problem is solved by simply turning off the monitor when it is not in use. Overall these small problems were not enough for me to lower my rating of the product.

A beautiful, sharp display, and just the right size (for me).

I love this monitor, its very clear, and the response time is great. And you get the resolution of a 22" lcd! I did not experience that "digital buzz" that happens when you lower the brightness, but you could see backlight bleeding along the top of the screen when booting the computer, and that is the only time I remember seeing it, so it does not annoy me during regular use. In conclusion, it is a great buy and I am not dissapointed.
