Good Buy for the Price!

Everything said about the Samsung SME-2220 DVR Security system was true to the letter. Easy to install, easy to set-up and all the cameras worked well. I'm glad I waited until I found what I wanted and it was this system.

Overall, good value

Only one problem with one cable that I'm waiting on Samsung to replace. But really like the all in one design that I can mount to my office wall and not take up additional space.Replacement cable was also bad. Tech support is going through some...

EXCELLENT in capital letters

I have had Samsung equipment in the past and when it finally gave up, I came back to Samsung. This equipment performs better than expected with excellent features.

It's as good as they say!

This system is great! Hook up is very easy and the picture is great compared to other systems.I especially like the mobile access to the system. It works great on my Sprint Evo. My only disappointment is that it only has 2 night cameras. I have to fork...

SAMSUNG B2240EW

I dont often write reviews since it takes taime to do so, and spare time is something I have little of ... I'm sure you can relate to that. The only reason I wrote this review is because items with no reviews make buyers (like me) hesitant to make the...

Very good replacement for your standard monitor; I ran this monitor in the center of a 3 monitor setup for a few months and liked it enough to buy 2 more for 3 monitor eyefinity setup. There were no dead pixils with any of the 3 and the color of all 3...

Widescreen monitors (unless its really big) have a lower vertical display area than standard (old school) computer monitors had. I sacrificed about 0.25" vertical space when changing from a 19" 1024x768 to a 22" 1680:1050 monitor ; Price ... the price...

Quality and affordable

I consider myself picky in term of monitor quality. This is my move from an excellent brand Trinitron CRT. I tried and investigated about other LCDs, but kept my CRT. now, I am happy with this one. My System: Linux 64bit , rarely XP Pro 64

Bright, nice colors. I just connected it to my PC, it worked fine without installing the driver ; I don't tolerate 16:9 , this one is 16:10. smooth move (and actually appreciated) from 4:3 display ; Resolution of 1680 x 1050 is quiet comfortable ; Was...

Brightness gradually increases toward the bottom, it isn't even (vertically). It is noticable, yet not offensive. Viewing angle: It is comfortable at about 130 degree horizontal and about 100 degree vertical (not really a cons. just to let you know:...

I am very happy with this monitor and the quality of the product. I bought this monitor because of the adjustable stand. Any Samsung monitor is great but the fact that you can adjust the height on this one was my reason to buy. Only problem was the...

So I have been putting off buying a much needed upgraded Montor for years. The price had been way too high for a 20+ inch ones. But now a days things have changed and the price is more managable. So I bought this online and I'm so glad I did. The...
