Consumer review (newegg.com)

Long lasting

I have owned this monitor since 2009, it hasn't missed a beat and Its worked so well I couldn't even think of replacing it

Limited base, no tilt

Good Monitor

Just as an FYI. The buttons are flush with the monitor panel and are touch. There is no way to see them in the dark. But to me that was fine, I adjusted the monitor once and from there I like it to be smooth and low profile. It's a pro for me.

Great Monitor. High resolution, good refresh rate ; Owned it for over 2 years now and it's as crisp as first day I got it

SAMSUNG 2343

I received a 2343 (50000:1 DC), not a 2343BWX (20000:1 DC). I should have bought more of these while they were in stock. I bought three 2343BWXs from another vendor, and later bought a fourth so they all match. The four 2343BWXs are on a quad monitor...

High resolution ; Low price ; VESA mounting holes ; Good clarity and brightness

Blinking LED (but the power switch provides a workaround)

Great Display

The power LED light is a tad bit too bright, and when its in power saver mode it flashs annoyingly. Did not think of it as a con because its really not a big deal, just turn the screen off and save energy :].

Not one dead pixel when i received it. Very light design, looks are also a plus. Sleek and slim with a nice button system. AMAZING visual quality plays video games perfectly with no delay

Great Monitor

I purchased two of these to run side by side. I'm a Web developer, and the screen real estate is fantastic. The 2048 resolution allows me to put two Web browsers side by side on one monitor, and still fit most sites at full width in each, a huge plus. ...

Price ; Bright ; Good color ; Small pixels ; Non glossy screen surface ; No dead pixels ; NewEgg's fast service

Short(er) cables (compared to previous Samsung monitors, power and DVI cables included are a bit shorter) ; Barely adequate stand quality - gets the job done, but tilt is awkward, and range is limited ; Some variance between panels ; Some backlight...

These look great!

AWESOME color depth for the price! Really a top notch display controls are great, very bright easy on the eyes. VESA mount is great

Viewing angles are lets say overstated, you can "see the display @ 170° however it doesnt look good there

OH MY G*D MY FACE IS MELTING!!!

Why do most 24" monitors only do 1080p? WTH? Wasn't 1900x1200 standard on most 24"s a few years ago? Even the cheap ones. I feel like I'm eating Crazy-Tacos!

This monitor is to most 24" monitors what the DROID is to an iPhone. More pixels, higher pixel density, better viewing angles, better image quality. Warning: May cause face-melting

The stand sucks. It can rotate freely...which is pretty useless if you've connected CABLES to the monitor. The 'buttonless' control panel on the face of the monitor sucks...only a little more than the awful buttons on the face of most monitors

First time ever getting a monitor with this high of resolution. Read on.

One review mentions about the gloss finish at the top "mirroring" the tops of the windows onto the inside lip of the monitor. I found this not to be an issue with me, as my eye level to the monitor is near the top of the monitor, so I don't see it. But...

I've had this monitor for exactly a week. And my first impressions are, wow, this thing is a beauty! The gloss finish is very nice! It's so nice it makes you feel bad for having to touch the gloss to press the "buttons." I have a feeling this monitor...

Well, yes: no tilt, sorry that would bring the price up of this great monitor, but is a drawback. To add I also felt the included DVI cable was a bit short, and, yes, there is unfortunately no HDMI Input. And somehow its found as a major drawback. I...

Hi Res

Super large screen with amazing resolution. Can't even begin to compare it to my old Syncmaster 913V

The factory default brightness can be a little bright the first time you turn it on at night and the blue power light is a little bright, but unless you are ultra sensitive to light shouldn't be a problem

very good monitor

I just hope it doesn't go down in price by black friday. I really needed a new monitor LOL

The native 2048x1152 screen is very bright with lots of real estate ; also perfect for modern warfare 2 (just make sure you card supports the native res. I'm using a gtx260) ; The high glossy bezel really is not reflective, which is good ; The dynamic...

Would have preferred the menu buttons be lit up, but I'm just nit-picking ; Viewing angles aren't great, but not bad either. The monitor swivels easily and tilts. If your sitting level with the monitor, you should be fine
