Samsung Delivers a Good Monitor

I did a lot a homework before buying a monitor. I wanted a big monitor but didn't have $1800 for a 30" screen (my custom-built PC was $1800). So when I saw this Samsung model for only $269 it was easy to justify getting two screens, 40" of real-estate, at less than 1/3 of the cost of the 30" model.

I suspected the 2ms response was more hype than substance - possibly manipulated data for marketing purposes. Much to my surprise, it is an accurate spec. More to the point, it can handle my games with all settings on and set to high (i.e. resolution, anti-aliasing, etc.). Also, DVD motion is quite fluid, although it may be darker than some people prefer. Text is clear - but only at the receommended resolution (which also makes the font smaller).

The base is rather solid - despite what I've read elsewhere. Settings allow for a lot of customization, although I haven't really used that feature much yet.

Overall, I would buy another one, and probably will as I expand my monitor set up to 3 in the near future.

Samsung 206BW

This is my first LCD monitor. Color Seems to be good. Took a little to adjust but all seems to be fine. Color not as brillant as Plasma Screens but for non critical purposes this is a great low cost Screen.
If cost is no object and you are into Graphic work it would be worth seeing this and others in action before purchasing but top quality will require 2+x's $$ to get much better.

My son, who is a university student in experimental digital arts, needed a larger screen with excellent resolution for his school work. He did a lot of research and told me this was The One he needed. I found the best price for the Samsung on Amazon. He was thrilled when he opened it on Christmas morning. Actually, he said he Loves it.

No More S/A/C

I just bought this monitor over the weekend. The first thing I did when I opened the box was look for the letter after the model number indicating whether the panel was a Samsung panel or not. I was surprised that there actually is no character anymore. I don't know if there is another indication, but I'm not too concerned.

So far, after a couple days, I am really enjoying this monitor. I came from a 17" (16" Viewable) ViewSonic Flat CRT that I ran at 1600x1200. I was a little apprehensive about actually losing screen real estate, especially since my laptop has a 15.4" Widescreen that I also run at 1680x1050, but so far, I've been pleasantly surprised. I'm finding that I still have plenty of room vertically and a bit more room horizontally.

I've read other reviews talking about the fact that this monitor doesn't adjust vertically. Although I could see this being an issue, it has not been for me. The tilt has been sufficient with my monitor sitting on the main desk surface at the same level as my keyboard. I'm planning to buy a new desk that has a bit of a riser for the monitor and I expect this will make it even better.

I have a Samsung HDTV that has the same piano black bezel as this monitor and I suspect this monitor will collect dust just as the TV does, so if this is an issue for you, I would take this into consideration.

The only down side I've had so far is it seems certain menu functions are not available without installing the provided software (or are not available at all). I have this monitor connected to my Linux machine, so I won't be installing the provided software. Maybe I am missing something, but specifically the Contrast and the Auto Adjustment say they are unavailable.

I got this monitor for about $255 after rebates and all. I would recommend to anyone looking for a widescreen LCD monitor.

Can't go wrong

I bought one about a year ago, couple of months later a friend of mine bought the same one. About 3 months ago I recommended it to my nephew. Everyone's happy. This is a great monitor for the money. Ran Pixel buddy on all 3 monitors and no dead pixels. Samsung is a great monitor company with real bang for the buck. I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

The Samsung 6-series Widescreen LCD monitors is certified to meet Microsoft Vista's Premium standards. The wide 16:10 aspect ratios of these professional-level monitors make multitasking easy. There's room for more applications, multiple images and all your tool palettes. An ultra-fast 2 ms (G to G) response time is perfect for motion editing. 20.0-inch Wide Viewable Size 0.258mm Pixel Pitch 300 cd/m2 Brightness (typical) 3000 - 1 DC Contrast Ratio (typical) 2 ms (G to G) Response Time (typical) 160 Degrees Horizontal and Vertical Viewing Angles 1680 x 1050 Native Resolution 16 - 10 Aspect Ratio Analog & Digital Interface Analog RGB, TMDS Digital Link, DVI Input Video Signal Separate H/V, Composite, SOG Sync Type 15-pin D-sub, DVI-D Input connectors 55 Watt (max.), Less than 2 watt (DMPS mode) Power Consumption 75 mm VESA Wall Mount DDC 2B Plug and Play MagicTune with asset management, MagicSpeed, MagicColor, MagicBright 3 Windows, Windows Vista, Mac, Sun DVI (HDCP), Swivel and tilt Dimensions - Width 18.7 x Height 15.6 x Depth 8.6 inches (without stand - 18.7 x 2.6 x 12.9 inches) Weight - 12.6 pounds
