Great value for money and works well

I took two of these with me to set up my home computer. Two monitors might be overkill, but at this price point, it was hard to pass up. There were some issues with the drivers that came with it, but between getting the drivers from Samsung's website I was able to get them to work, but you don't really need the drivers. The drivers also don't work very well if you're running two monitors, but again, they work right out of the box. I made some brightness and contrast adjustments, but not much…

The best ratio of price and quality

bright colors and good resolution. I'm using the miniDVI-DVI port on my MacBook to connect to the display's DVI port. works very well. and required no installer/driver software (for Mac). The only downside I can think of is the menu buttons in the bar; they do not protrude and are, so to speak, inside the glass. This can make it difficult to find the buttons in low light.

In my opinion a very good monitor.

I bought three of these and only one had a partially dead pixel, it's not very noticeable. They are bright with good contrast and colors. The pixel density of 1920x1080 ensures a very sharp picture. I am very happy with these monitors, especially for the price.

The screen works great. The buttons are annoying.

All buttons are capacitive (e.g. no tactical buttons that I could feel and press). It's actually quite a terrible design because sometimes you can type lightly and instead of turning off the monitor it goes into the display menu settings. annoys. Samsung, bring back the buttons. Is it really that hard to button things up now? Who has called and complained that their monitor requires capacitive touch? Designing and programming a capacitive touch interface for a computer monitor was a waste of…

BRIGHT. Also, it's not consistent. In addition, very good no matter what.

I got two of these villains as it's finally time to live in the present and set up two monitors. Other reviews warning you about how bright these monitors are? Extremely accurate. WOWZERS they are bright. I reduced them to about 20% brightness. Also, one of the monitors is a significantly different color. I've been playing around with the color settings as much as I can, but I can't sort of "align" them. It's very low, but I wouldn't recommend buying them if you work in graphic arts, art, and…

What you do not understand

I didn't really realize how small my screen was (14 inches square) until I got this widescreen. Samsung is definitely a great monitor with beautiful colors. It also has a good tilt range and I really like the touch setting. On/Off buttons.

Okay, but don't tip! in my rating

The product is a good sized screen with excellent color control as Samsung customers know. The only problem is that it has no incline. It sits at an awkward angle, down, and there's no adjustment. It's pretty annoying when sitting at eye level. That's the only downside!

A bit disappointing.

The first one I got in the mail had spooky lines running horizontally from top to bottom, then I called the dealer who is a tech for less, got another one sent out, and the second one also has a burned-in pixel on the screen . that this is a good monitor I would advise you to buy a new one not refurbished. The two I received were refurbished so I expected these issues.

Tech Mannequin is good for me

I know nothing about computers. My old (17 inch) Hitachi monitor still worked after 10 years but I needed a bigger screen. Fingers crossed and take the risk of buying this one (I'm afraid I'll have to return it). Arrived quickly (luckily I got home early; UPS left the box every time it rained). Set it up as I can (can't fix anything - don't know how). Works like a charm right out of the box. What a relief!

Samsung B2230 "WOW "

Well, my trusty Samung 216BW started flashing a week after I bought an ASUS mobo in January this year, from Revain of course. A week later, I installed a new AMD quad-core processor and a new cellphone on my 6-year-old LCD monitor that was being used for hours practically every day. Started flashing when first turned on, stopped after warming up. So time for a new monitor. Went back to Revain and found this Samsung B2230. What a great monitor its beautiful great graphics {played GTA San Andreas

Disappointing life expectancy

I was happy with this monitor until it died last week. While I was using it, the display suddenly went blank and there was no backlight. Tried different sources, different power inputs and after a pointless call to Samsung support I'm back to shopping. I bought this monitor about 15 months ago and it came with a 12 month manufacturer warranty - suspiciously handy for Samsung.

Samsung, you did it again.

This is my second Samsung monitor. the first is not 1080p. when it went on sale i fulfilled my dream of having 3 identical monitors! On this one I only set the brightness to 75% and it looks fantastic. Works perfectly and has everything I need. My only complaints are simple, the included power cords are SHORT. You cannot walk from the rightmost monitor to an outlet directly behind the leftmost monitor. 2 more feet, come on!

Very good monitor in my review

Recently I bought a Samsung B2230 for a new setup that I ordered. This will be my first HD monitor and the first time I can see anything at 1920x1080 resolution. Arrived safely, set up was easy and it took well on my old PC. The brightness level is ridiculously high when you first launch it, so it takes a lot of adjustment to bring it up to your comfort level, but the colors are bright and clear. No dead pixels, although I had what I can only describe as "rotten" when it first came out. It was…

Great monitor suits me

I bought a Samsung 22 inch LCD monitor to connect to my laptop when I work at home. This is the first monitor I've owned - I've always had laptops so I did a little research and settled on this one. The color and display are amazing, it was easy to set up and set up and came with the cable I needed which I wasn't expecting Screen - it's on a solid base, the rest is great.

Great monitor for the price!

They were only needed for a working PC and didn't want to spend a lot. After receiving and configuring them (in one day) from Revain. Wow! I expected this quality from a $300 monitor, but at $140 I feel like I got a bargain. Clear, bright image, easy setup, good packaging. I wish I had bought more when they were cheaper!

Very good monitor in my review

I needed a bigger screen than my laptop and it works well as an external monitor. It's not an LED monitor, but it's still lightweight and the screen is very bright (I set it to a lower brightness for my comfort). There's no height adjustment, but the screen can be tilted up or down (not obvious from the design, but tilting with two hands and some effort). It doesn't have built-in speakers. But as a monitor it's great, arrived in excellent condition, no dead pixels. I'm very happy with them…

I'm glad I bought this monitor, but.

I bought a Samsung 2343BWX two years ago and it is the best monitor I have ever had. It recently died, Samsung fixed it quickly under a 3 year warranty and I wanted a different monitor for a different computer. The B2230 seemed to have good reviews and the Samsung website listed a 3 year warranty. With the B2230 there are no "backlight" problems. It's so bright that I had to turn it down to "10" and change the contrast to darken the colors to get the video to look right. I have better color…

Good budget screen for 1920x1080

I recently bought two of these Samsung B2230 22 inch LCD monitors because they were a good price for 1920 x 1080 resolution screens. I wasn't aiming for a high quality screen, I was aiming for a workspace where screens are flickered most of the time. Setup was very easy [3 elements, all clip-on]. Picture quality is better than expected and there are no visual issues due to interference from poorly shielded cables. EDIT REVIEW: I initially complained about the monitor's lack of tilt…

anti-glare overload

I ordered 2 of these monitors. On the one hand, the anti-reflective coating was hardly acceptable with a slightly exaggerated graininess or gloss effect from the coating. The second monitor was significantly worse as the anti-glare coating was significantly different than the first monitor and looked overdone. I've never seen an anti-glare coating degrade image quality and ease of use so much. Overall I thought the design, looks and color were excellent, but the anti-glare coating was too…

Great until the wheels fell off

I bought this monitor on September 16, 2011 for $110 and it worked fine for 3 months until a big pixel problem took up 3/4 of the screen. Where there was once a beautiful image, stationary vertical lines now appear. My main issue is that it was bought in the US and brought to me in Brazil where I live by a friend and I am at loggerheads with the need to fix it or buy a new one here. I'm sure the maintenance will cost more than I paid for it and the taxes to buy a new one are crazy
