Absolutely Beautiful

Cannot say a bad thing about this monitor. Incredible brightness and clarity, and so far I haven't seen any ghosting or bluring, and I probably won't with the 2ms response time. What's more, the silver bevel on the bottom matches my HP keyboard perfectly. I love it!

Incredible monitor!

I got this monitor to replace my old Sony Trinitron CRT monitor. I have a P4 3.0Ghz PC with 1G RAM using the onboard S3 Savage Pro video card and I am running Windows XP Home Edition and XUbuntu Linux.

This is trully an amazing product.

What comes is the package:
- Monitor
- Base (very easy to set up). The monitor is VESA compatible, so you can mount it on a wall if you want to.
- VGA D-sub 15 pin cable (NO DVI cable)
- Driver CD
- Power Cord

What I like:
- Super design: simple and doesn't take a lot of room on my desk.
- Glossy screen: as good as my Apple MacBook screen.
- Picture quality: simply on of the best I've seen. Very bright and sharp. Using magic bright and magic color technology will allow you to set up the monitor exactly like you want.
- Windows Vista certified. Works out of the box.

Things you need to know:

The CD Autorun doesn't work. Instead it launches the your browser with the documentation. You need to explore the CD, go in the Driver folder and run setup.exe

This monitor will not work at its full capability properly if you video card does not
support the widescreen mode.
I tried using my on-board video card, but I could only have 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, none of these are 16:10 aspect ratio. As a result, the image will be scaled to the monitor aspect ratio and picture will not be of a great quality.
The brightness/contrast will also be completely off (way too bright).

Fortunately I found an old NVIDIA AGP card, (I think a TNT2). After setting that up, I got the picture to appear correctly and with the correct settings.

In Linux, the generic driver only offers 800x600, which doesn't match the aspect ratio of the monitor. I haven't done much research, but I think downloading a newer NVIDIA driver for linux (from www.nvidia.com) could resolved the issue.

Last thing, There is no drivers listed on samsung's website for the 906BW. However you can download the one for the 931BW, which is compatible.
And there is no linux drivers available.

Overall, I am very happy with this product.

Sweet Computer Monitor

So far, I have purchased five of these 19" and two of the 22" monitors for my small business.

Image and video quality is superb, but I am most impressed with text quality. I do a lot of work with small text and numbers in spreadsheets. Other flat panels I own have left me longing for the days of crisp text on a CRT. But this Samsung out performs the best CRTs I ever owned.

Know that this monitor is just that, a computer monitor. You can't connect it to a DVD player or component video source. It has just two inputs, analog VGA (15 pin) or Digital DVI-D. So it is for computers only.

If that's what you need, you simply can find a better monitor for anything close to this price.
