My husband originally bought this monitor after I screwed up and bought a non-traditional aspect ratio monitor — not knowing much about LCD monitors at that time. The widescreen monitor was extremely difficult to drive — especially if you are running older hardware and less than the latest and greatest version of XP.

After my misadventure, he did his research and picked this monitor for its brightness, refresh rate, and contrast ratio. He has bad eyes and found this monitor to be great for him. He has owned it for a little over a year and it has worked flawlessly — no dead pixels.

When I started my job this week and was given a CRT from the mid-90s, I stole this monitor from him so that I could actually read what was on my screen. This monitor is a joy to use. I have an ancient desktop and it works fine in native mode so no extra drivers were required.

I highly recommend this monitor if you aren’t familiar with optimizing aspect ratios, trying to match video card specs etc.

I have been using the monitor for about 3 weeks and I am extremely happy with it. There were no dead pixels and the monitor functioned perfectly as plug-and-play in windows xp sp2 even before I loaded the samsung driver. The picture is bright an clear. The supplied software is easy to use to obtain true color and auto adjustment. However if you would like a darker or brighter picture the manual adjustment feature is very easy to use. I play a lot of games and I have had no problem with pixel gosting at any resolution. As of now I would recommend this monitor without reservations.

This monitor was easy to set up and works well. It is bright and easy to read and has software which allows you to fine tune it for photographic work. I find the 4:3 aspect to be more versatile than widescreen, for example when you want to work on a portrait in photoshop. The maximum resolution is 1280×1024 so if you need more you should get a different monitor but this resolution works well for me.
