No Brainer

 

This is an excellent monitor and I absolutely love it. I don't have any problems with reflections from the frame as some state but then I use it in a home office, with only the funny light bulbs the Greenies are forcing me to use. If I needed to...

Substandard Monitor, Missing Key Features

 

I purchased this monitor assuming it was built in this decade. Apparently I was wrong. This monitor lacks a standby feature that turns the monitor off. Therefore, when you put your computer to sleep, enter standby, or turn it off, the monitor will not...

Satisfied for time being.

 

I recently bought this monitor to replace an old 20'' Asus LCD and I am not disappointed! This colors have the aforementioned "pop" to them thanks to it being a LED backlit monitor and although this monitor is a TN panel the viewing angles are...

Very nice picture, crappy stand and controls

 

I've had this monitor for about a week now, sitting next to my other 24" monitor, an LG W2486L LED/LCD monitor that has a screen the exact same size, and which appears to have a picture about the same as this one.

It's my best purchase

 

I really nedded a big monitor to do my job. I made many comparisons between different brands and Samsung have all the features I need.

Inconsistancy

 

If you notice a washed out picture or blurry text adjust settings and calibrate ClearType, if the settings do not hold it is a defective panel, not a reflection of normal operation! I alternated ports and cables, only one panel had the poor quality....

Awesome color, brightness, sleek design, thin bezel! Best picture in its class

Stand is stiff; adjusting feels like it could break the stand, but it doesn't. Digital connections required me to perform scaling modifications (overscan/underscan) as other noted. I bought two of these monitors, one has a green tint and reduced...

Not bad, but...

 

I can't really understand why they didn't make the stand as nice as the rest of the monitor. Disappointing, but not a deal breaker.

Picture is very pretty, menu is easy to navigate and understand. Light weight. 2 HDMI ports

External power supply. Stand really is quite cheap, can't raise or lower. Tilt is ok

Monitor is huge!!

 

Couldn't get to use the whole screen when connecting HDMI to DVI so I switched to VGA and there is noticeable difference in image quality I will fiddle around to get it the way I want to, but over all good monitor.

Light and slim. LED Display is huge Has separate power adapter. high resolution. Games look great, no ghosting effects. No dead pixels

No VESA mounting. Screen flickers when going to recommended resolution. Don't know if it's my video card which is old, I'll post an update after I get a newer video card. Settings have to be adjusted, text does not look sharp, but I haven't messed with...

IMPORTANT INFO ON STAND TILT

 

So a lot of reviews complain about the stand angle, and having to prop up the front with cards or something. Well it tilts up and down! It doesn't look like it because the hinge isn't visible, and it is kind of stiff. But if you try, it tilts just fine...

Great display, extremely light and thin monitor, good looking overall

Stand is a bit wobbly, but it DOES tilt! See Other Thoughts
