Better than my 40 "

Pros: Nice monitor. The looks are one of Samsung's most appealing options (see the disgusting 2233sw). Amazing picture. Richer colors and details than my 40" Samsung 120Hz 1080p LCD TV (LN40A650). There is no blurring or artifacts here. Cons: Terrible touch buttons! You can't see them day or night. from my ceiling lights, despite their low wattage. This thing will reflect your Blackberry more than you can probably bear. Every time I want to make the screen a little brighter, and let's just say…

Simple as my review says

Melody. Just plug it in and turn it on. I had to go to "Display" in the control panel and do some settings, after that I was done. The picture is fantastic and I didn't even have to insert the disc as no adjustments were needed. I switched from a Samsung 20 inch square monitor to this one and the difference is amazing! Don't hesitate to buy it, you won't regret it.

Nice monitor

This monitor looks nice and is a good size, colors are pretty good not great. Setup was easy, so that's a definite plus. On the other hand, it generates more heat than I expected. My office is a decent size and if it's open for a while (several hours) the room gets warmer. So I make sure to turn off the monitor when I leave the room for a short time. Another disadvantage is that when a popup appears on my screen, I get vertical shadow lines that go across the entire screen. At first I thought…

Samsung monitor suits me

The monitor I bought was at the best available price, even better due to the lack of shipping costs. It was shipped the afternoon I ordered it and I received it 3 days after ordering, it couldn't get better than free shipping. . The monitor did everything I expected after correcting the widescreen resolution. Totally happy with the monitor and Revain.

Great monitor at a great price!

I have two computers at home. One for my office and one for my recording studio. Well I had an old model CRT in my studio and it came out the other day which meant I couldn't mix some of the music projects I was working on. I ended up taking a monitor from my office, an 18 inch widescreen LCD monitor, and set it up in my studio. I knew I needed a bigger monitor for my office and decided on the 22 inch monitor. My eyes aren't what they used to be and lately I've been reading the news on the…

no speaker? good for me

I bought this unit from Revain and found that it doesn't have a speaker. contacted samsung chat and spent 45 minutes with an agent to find out they didn't bring a speaker. I wasn't planning on adding a bunch of speakers that would remind me of the early 80's. I don't know why Samsung decided to remove the speaker.

Great value: my review

I had an Acer monitor that was only 2 years old and it stopped working. My fiance bought a Samsung and was very happy with its performance. So when I was looking for a new monitor here at Revain I checked the reviews and decided to give this one a try based on the reviews and price. I love this monitor!

Doesn't tilt up and down.

The screen doesn't tilt up and down at all. It was a deal breaker for me. I returned it for ASUS. It looked good and worked great, but cant.

High quality in my rating.

I bought this as a gift for my 80 year old father - replacing his tiny 15 inch monitor. It's been a drastic difference and he's very grateful for the extra room. He loves opening 2 windows side by side and being able to see both at the same time. The picture is very sharp and clear and installation was a breeze. I have an Acer the same size and the Samsung actually seemed a little clearer Highly recommended!

Good hardware, not so good software

My monitor lasted less than a month before the screen went blank. Visiting the Samsung website was a waste of time. He had NO answers to my problem. In any case, I removed the Samsung "Magic Tune" software that came with the monitor as well as the driver I downloaded from Samsung's website. For unknown reasons, this software does not work with my Vista Gateway laptop. I finally solved the problem by making the new Samsung monitor my "primary" monitor. You need to go to Control Panel and go to…
