Great!

This display is excellent! Not only can I hook up my Macbook Pro, but I can also have my 360 plugged in at the same time for 1080p gaming glory! Color and contrast are great in my opinion, and I love the fact that I can adjust it however I need to, so when I slouch I can still see the screen. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the touch controls that everyone else mentions. They are impossible to see without direct light, however, once you get the settings right, it's easy to memorize where the power and volume buttons are. Great display at a great price!

Great monitor for its price and overall

I bought this item from BB on sale for $450 (also managed to get them to give me 10% off with a coupon that didn't specify monitors). I love amazon and bought my Samsung TV from them (no one could touch their price) but with monitors and hearing about so many dead pixel issues, I like buying from the store (have had 2 LCDs and never had a dead pixel though). This monitor blows away my old Sony 19 inch LCD, which only had a 500-1 contrast but the same brightness (and it cost $550 when I bought it). If you are looking to upgrade from a 19 inch non 16-10 ration screen, a 22 inch just isn't that big of an upgrade, go with a 24 inch, you will not regret it. This monitor is super bright which is great for games, but a little too bright for regular activities (just needs to be tuned down). No ghosting in any of the games I have played and no blurred text issues, great out of the box. Software doesn't really work with Vista 64 though (monitor still works fine). any adjustment you can think of and all connectivity ports, I almost bought the Dell 248 on sell from their website for $380, but for $45 more I was able to get this one that has HDMI and a better stand (plus I hate Dell). I am amazed with this monitor, but I am also not an expert, all I care about is that it makes everything look better than my old one and works great with the new computer I just built. Just remember if you use it for gaming you need graphics cards that can handle the 1900X1200 resolution, I have 2 8800GT overclocked cards SLI in my system with a Q6600 overclocked at 3.2 GHz and Crysis only is giving me 20-28 fps with high detail on 1900X1200, any other game is easily over 100 fps though (not a monitor issue, just computer limitations). Also if you are going from a 19 inch non wide screen (my sony was 14X12, so semi widescreen) it takes time getting used to the huge screen for normal applications, eyes are wondering all around the screen and some web pages only use half the screen for some reason). Great 3 year manu. warranty with Samsung, but I don't like touch panel controls, my old samsung TV had them and the panel malfunctioned, would have cost $150 to fix if outside of the warranty, and even in warranty you have to pay to ship it).
