Samsung did it again!

I bought this monitor yesterday and am using it now. It is so much better than my old monitor that was made in 1996. If you are looking for a new monitor for a low price this is the one to buy.

Nice monitor

This monitor has very nice color and clarity. I have purchased several of these and have been very happy with them. The only major drawback is no height adjustable stand. But for the price Samsung is the way to go in my book.

awesome monitor, awesome price

If your looking for a quality monitor for around $200, look no further. I did a ton of research and asked a lot of people what I should get before buying and it all pointed to Samsung. At $189 this is a superb monitor.

I love this monitor. The colors are stunning compared to my older HP w2207. Everything is super clear and pictures look amazing. I love the 1920x1080 resolution and quick response time for gaming

I would have liked a glossy finish on the screen itself and also a stand that had height adjustment. The touch controls are tough to get used to

Awesome So Far!

I'm an official, certified Samsung nut and this monitor is a great example of why. I just really don't think you can get a better monitor for under $200 and maybe not even under $250. This monitor produces clean, crisp images, was easy to setup, and...

Great clarity, nice color, gorgeous casing, nice price, it's a Samsung

I had to move my wall mount to make it fit right. Does that count? Didn't think so. No cons

Excellent cost x benefit

I just bought this monitor based first on its screen size and specs, second because of its well known brand (Samsung) and third because of its good price.

Nice monitor for the price

The pixel pitch (~0.25 mm/pixel) is very fine. At 1920 x 1080 resolution, the standard 96 dpi screen font setting is a little small for the 22" monitor. I change the screen font to 120 dpi and the text looks much better at normal viewing distance (1'...

Samsung makes nice monitors. The one I received has no defective pixels

There is a little blacklighting bleedthrough at top and bottom. The shiny black finish tends to show noticable dust or fingerprints

SAMSUNG 2043SWX Glossy Black 20" 5ms LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 DC 15000:1(1000:1) w/ HDCP Support

CD Manual really didnt work, but the monitor is working as it should, so I will not take an egg away.

Great monitor, easy to set up and adjust. Looks great! Have a Samsung Plasma TV and expected the same performance from their monitors as well. Not disappointed!! Awesome shipping again by New Egg, no damage, no dead pixels

None

made for arm mount

stuck this on an ergotron arm mount. holes on the back are perfect and the curved back makes it look great on the arm.

lightweight yet doesnt feel cheap. very clear and bright picture

control buttons are like a touch panel on the front. they can be hard to use in the dark and prone to accidental pressing
