Review on Samsung B2230 22 Inch Widescreen Monitor with 1920X1080 Resolution and HD Display by Jared Islam

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good monitor is the best in my rating

The monitor was sent to me very quickly and arrived in good condition. It was easy to assemble. It's attractive enough, although I don't usually like the glossy finish on electronics. There is a DVI and a VGA port, but no HDMI. I don't like the menu buttons and that's the biggest gripe I have. They are, to coin a term, "touch insensitive”. Real buttons would be easier to use and less cumbersome. This is a problem because the monitor needs to be ready to use out of the box. It's set up to look good in stores, but I've found that some settings are disabled. Go to a monitor calibration website like this: [.] and follow the instructions. I had to tweak the gamma and also adjust the contrast and brightness a bit. After making these adjustments, you should have a reasonably accurate image. It might not suit the discerning taste of the design professional, but for the average Facebook user, you'll be delighted. It's also great for gaming and/or movies. My favorite feature is the ability to see the entire workspace in my design programs and two pages side by side in Word. I run a dual monitor setup anyway, but compared to the small CRT I used before, I feel like I almost have three monitors now. Of course that's not the case with this monitor, but if you're unsure about the widescreen I'd just like to point out that I highly recommend it.
