Amazing Samsung!

Got my monitor yesterday, and I have but a small comment to make, since I need to get back to some serious fun using my newest electronic device :o)

This monitor has by far exceeded my expectations in regards to design and quality. It not only looks good, but it came with out-of-the-box 100% perfect configuration. The colors are clear, black is really black and the fast responsetime leaves absoluely no trace at all when things are flying around your screen.

I'm still not quite grasping the magnitude of this screen, but rest asure that I will spend a fair amount of time in front of this 24" wonder the next couple of years.

The only minus to this product is the incredible stupid usb hub that they have placed on the left side of the monitor. The idea is good, since it's very easy to plug in your usb key or whatever you'd feel like. The bad thing is that they have placed the plug which connects the hub with your computer the same place, which means that if you want to use the hub, you need to live with a black cable sticking out at an 90 degree angle midway down the left side of your newly bought minimalistic marvel... That is not going to happen in my house! The cure - forget about the lousy 2 port hub and start enjoying what ever you enjoy doing with your computer only this time it'll be bigger, better and just all out breathtaking.

Awesome monitor

I got my new 244t 2 days ago. My previous monitor was a Samsung 213t, which served me well, thus I was ready to trust Samsung again. The 213t was a great monitor, and before I saw this new one in action, I thought it was quite good for gaming too (it was, of course, but switching back from this one it isn't anymore). But looking at how things move and are displayed by this new monster is like going from night to day. Pictures are the sharpest I have ever seen, World of Warcraft simply looks fantastic at 1920x1200 and most of all there isn't the slightest amount of ghosting even in the most problematic situations (using DVI, fo course). Add to this all inputs and configuration options you could ask for, and that's it. Don't miss it...it's more expensive than equivalent models from other companies, but it's worth.

Stunning

I spend all day every day in front of my computers, & have been doing so for 25 years. This monitor is the best monitor I have ever seen, bar none. There are no dead pixels. It is bright, with no ghosting. It has become my preferred venue for watching movies. The included software works well at re-orienting the monitor to vertical mode or horizontal mode. It also adapts nicely to 16:9 formats or 4:3 formats. It is very easy to set up, with a plethora of cabling options. My one complaint is the hokey USB cable that projects from the left side of the monitor. But I'm happy to live with that, given all of the other virtues this monitor exhibits.

Excellent monitor.

The picture is excellent for an LCD. It has lots of different video inputs. It's huge and has high resolution. It's bright and has excellent contrast and color. I want a second one to go dual screen. I have no regrets at all about buying this monitor.

There are some minor negatives but they're largely nit picking.

While it has PIP, it only works while one of the computer inputs is the main screen and it can only show one of the composite/s-video/component inputs in the PIP which must be selected via the menus.

When looking at a 1080i signal over the component input, it apparently either stretches the image to 1200 pixels high (throwing off the aspect ratio) or it stretches in both directions which would require cutting off a little bit on the sides. Either way it's wrong. 1920x1080 on a 1920x1200 16:10 screen should be 1920x1080 16:9 with 60 pixel high black bars on the top and bottom (letterboxed).

I tried hooking my cable box up to the DVI port, the box complains that the monitor doesn't support HDCP and refuses to work which is rather irritating. I've read on a few sites that this monitor supports HDCP so I suppose it could be a problem with the box but I suspect it's the monitor.

It would be nice if it had a remote control to modify settings.

The USBcomputer connection should be on the back of the monitor; not on the side.

The best of the best

This monitor is simply gorgeous. Crisp gaming and crisp text, no ghosting, AND it is HDTV compliant for now and future standards when the new version of MS windows comes out (something the Dell and other competing 24" LCD's do not have). Its brighter and better color than "cheaper" gateway and Dell 24-inchers that people like CNET seem to be in love with. I have seen the Dell 24" and next to this monitor the colors in the Dell looked washed out and it is not as bright. Also Dell 24" monitors have had a problem with the power supply (loud high pitch sound) that is widely reported and I have heard many complaints of the runaround trying to get it corrected. Go for high quality, its worth the few extra dollars.

You have to see this monitor to believe it. Bright, excellent contrast, and black actually looks really black.

I agree with USB hub comment stated by other reviewer on Amazon. Its the only thing that could be improved. But I did not buy this monitor because I needed two more USB ports.

Samsung has an excellent reputation for high quality LCD's. Zero dead pixels on mine when it arrived. Just keep in mind that you need a decent video card to get the most out of this (or any other 24") monitor. Make sure you are aware of the video card you have and if it will be adequate.
