Great monitor at a great price

I spent a while searching for an affordable LCD monitor to use with my Macbook and ended up purchasing this one based on the reviews I read. This is a great monitor for the price. Yes, the light on the on/off button can be annoying when the monitor is in sleep mode, but you can simply turn the monitor off. The only thing I dislike about this monitor is the lack of USB ports. Other than that, it's perfect.

Monitor Great - Cable terrible

I use The lcd with my HP Pavilion Notebook (vista) and docking station so I can have a dual monitor setup. Mostly for office and computer work, some video.

I had large waves of light rippling across my screen for a couple of weeks before I had the time to really figure out what was going on. I was ready to take it back when I figured it out. Apparently the lcd is very very sensitive to power noise and fluctuations. So a simple upgrade to a real shielded VGA cable fixed it. Now it looks wonderful.

I have never seen a monitor cable so thin... why even include a cord if it could affect your product so negatively?

Great monitor. Definitely some bleed but it is a large LCD, so that should be expected. Check out the online reviews of the S, A, & C panels before you buy. Samsung has removed the 2 means of telling which type of panel you have. I can't run the tests the reviewers do, but I have to say that I am very happy with mine. The lower-quality A and C panels had a noticeable blue tint out of the box, but mine seems very clear and life-like. Movies look incredible and photos look very clear as well (though I don't edit).

Not bad for the price.

This monitor does exactly what I want it to do: gives me more desktop space and enough color to edit photos casually. This is not the highest quality monitor, but it isn't the worst. My monitor does display some "bleeding" on the edges. But honestly, it isn't noticeable unless you are watching a movie with black edges around it. I've grown to be OK with it.

PLUS, I own a Macbook Pro. And will not have a DELL or Gateway on my desktop.. Cliche. So I settled for the Samsung. The 22" size is almost necessary if you really want more space. In widescreen, anything less doesn't seem substantially bigger.

Happy Shoppin

Replaced 19-inch Dell LCD

I bought the Samsung about two months ago. It took me some time to adjust the video resolution output of my video card to match the new display (1680 x 1050) but after I did, it's been great.
I replaced a Dell Dell E193FP 19-inch LCD screen, and the colors and contrast on this one are considerably better, the text is crisper and clearer.
I am still getting used to the wider aspect ratio of the new monitor and think I will run a sidebar to use some of the extra width. For the price, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
