Fantastic quality

Well, let me just say that I am so impressed by this monitor. We searched high and low for a good monitor that was not going to be hard on the check book. I found a couple of monitors that had all the same qualities but I went with the Samsung because ...

Great Productivity Display

I got this monitor for a home-office setup, not for movie watching or the like. There are fewer and fewer 4:3 options in LCDs, and this monitor is ideal for a dual-setup (I am ordering the second one shortly after Christmas). After almost 2 months,...

Great monitor for the price

Great LCD for the price.

There is a lot of white bleed-in from the top, bottom, and sides.

Phenomenal monitor, after calibration.

No dead pixels, vivid colors, excellent contrast ratio, and plenty of brightness to go around.

Horrible contrast, brightness, and color balancing out of the box.
