Samsung SyncMaster 2243BW Wide Screen LCD

For each type of product and in each market, there is usually a specific price segment that will provide the best value proposition for consumers, often known as the 'sweet spot'. For quite some time, the 19" widescreen was the sweet spot of the...

Great Image Quality ; Good Response Time ; 4-way Adjustable Stand ; MagicBright Presets

Wobbly Screen ; Controls Hard To See

Performance Summary: Throughout our testing we found the Samsung 2243BW to be an excellent display. If we were stuck with a single brightness, contrast and gamma setting for all of our testing, as is the case for most monitors, then we would have found...

Consumer review by: N/A (newegg.com)

Good but right 3 inches died

Would be 4 eggs if not for the stripping and the menu being just ok. Would be 1 egg if not for the over-all quality of the monitor. I see see a clear picture looking at it for the side.

Nice colors. Ok menu. Adjustable stand works great but we don't need much adjustment

Worked great for a couple years. The right 3 inches of the screen has different colors of strips running top to bottom. each stripe looks to be a pixel wide. Sometimes the stripes will be gone and the monitor looks normal, but very rarely

I have 2

This is a great monitor for the price...I was lucky to find another one two years after I bought the first one. Side by side, they are amazing.

Nice monitor, good width, very bright

This monitor is so bright I turned the brightness down to 25% and it is still bright and crisp. It has a little shading in the upper corners, very minor and not very noticeable unless you look for it. The width/height ratio is very favorable, it really...

Great pivot display.

I love this monitor, use it as an extended desktop display with dual head video card. I have it set up vertical so I can see legal docs & full pages without using the scrole bar so much. I had to download "magic rotation" for changing screen to...

Great monitor for the money

I bought this monitor to use at work as a secondary display for my Dell latptop. Both of my displays have a max resolution of 1680x1050, so there are no scaling issues when I transfer a doc, or remote desktop to the Samsung from the laptop display....

Real Good Monitor

I received this Monitor over a year ago from my wife for a Birthday present. I hooked it right up and worked flawlessly out of the box. I loved the adjustable height and the other features that come with it. I didn't have any dead pixels and it still...
