Picture was totally inferior, major bleeding.had to send it back. I purchased a Samsung 225bw a couple years ago and needed a 2nd monitor so opted for this thinking it would be the same if not better. What a let-down. Ended up finding a refurb on the 225 and purchased a second from that instead. Disappointing compared to the Samsung 225BW which is an exceptional monitor.
Nice clear, sharp picture. I have my brightness set at 35%, and it'll work even in the brightest daylight room.I don't like the single support point, though. When you're pounding away on your keyboard, the monitor tends to rock back and forth. I had to stick a wedge of business cards under one corner to make it stop.
Awesome product, crystal clear image, love the size., so far so good. Shipped fine, no delays, would definitely buy again. (maybe I will, and go for a dual setup with my computer.).
Samsung makes the best products. The colors are so bright and images are so clear. I love this screen.
In just one week (and in a rural area, too) the stand was entirely covered with dust. My Westinghouse 37" 1080p 8ms LCD monitor performs much better in that regard, and that's saying something. Ah well.Overall, it's a good 22" monitor with an ideal resolution and response time that displays sharp pictures and text. I especially like the clear plastic bar that runs at the bottom of the monitor and conceals the buttons, so that when the power led is on it reflects quite nicely on the plastic bar.
It does suffer from defects that plague nearly all LCDs, such as poor black level performance and some light bleeding.BLACK LEVELSIn my unit, light bleeding was particularly bad on top and bottom. No hint of ghosting with games (of course, given its low response time). they serve different purposes. The monitor is very light, which is good, but that's because it's very flimsy, which is bad.
It'll fall. Of course, you can't compare a 37" to a 22". but that's indication that the panel Samsung is using to equip these monitors is not top-notch as far as black performance is concerned. This is normal, though, because computer LCD monitors typically shouldn't be used for movie watching. GENERALThis is an excellent monitor with bright, vivid colors and snappy performance.
Don't shake the table it's on. Just don't. If I didn't have good reflexes, the monitor would've been on the floor twice already. Also, the bundles cables are amazingly short, but that's an industry standard.LOOKSIt's an eye-catcher, for sure. and common desktop applications, you'll be fine.INSTALLATIONA snap. As for black level performance, even after calibration it was quite poor. Very future-proof, design-wise.
So long as you use this for games (not very dark games.). Easy to assemble (just RTFM people). Piano black finish on monitor and stand is also nice, though of course it's a dust and fingerprint magnet. Just don't expect it to be your primary (or even ONLY) monitor if you expect to do more than everyday computer applications and some gaming.
