  • Summary: Great monitor by Samsung as usual, but worse software ever
  • Comment: I'm giving this monitor an okay because physically, it's a great piece of work. The colors are great and i use it to play Starcraft 2 and Modern Warfare.

    Size is great for a computer monitor and HDMI and CRT connections to computers is flawless.

    My only gripe, which is kinda of a big one is that Samsung's monitor software doesn't work.. at least it's completely INCOMPATIBLE with Windows 7. Whenever it is installed on Windows and runs, my computer pretty much restarts itself every bootup. Therefore causing me to not be able to start my computer at all. I had to use system restore and go back to before i installed Samsung's monitor software to fix the problem.

    It would have been a great idea if the software works - to be able to control all monitor settings via computer desktop. but oh wellz. I use it like a normal HD monitor. Amazon offered a great price when i got it. Till this day, i have not seen a 1080p 24" monitor with equivalent specs at near the same price point.

  • Summary: Great Monitor
  • Comment: This is a great monitor. I was pleasantly surprised by the multi-screen software that came with it and installed easily. It allows you to set several different panes on the large screen, drag your open window into the pane and it instantly maximizes within that pane. I can easily have 4 documents up at once and see them all clearly. The only con is that the screen seems to lean down a little when mounted on the stand and its not adjustable, at least as far as I've found.

  • Summary: Downright nice monitor
  • Comment: Quick Review:

    PRO: By far the nicest, cleanest picture I've ever had using a monitor. Amazing color and clarity, plus supports RGB for older monitors, HDMI for a TV/game input, and DVI for a normal computer display.
    CON: No buttons. Front touchpanel not friendly to my ogre hands. While you read this review, you'll think I'm an idiot for having trouble turning the thing on and getting it to switch to the right display (yes, I tried the 'power' and 'Source' buttons). But I just might have my comeuppance when you're sitting in front of a darkened monitor that won't display anything. Some fiddling/luck/time got it working and it's been a champ since.

    PS: This monitor (at time of review) is listed under 3D monitors on amazon.com. It is not 3D ready for Nvidia's 3D tech, and at 60Hz, the best you'd get is 30fps 3D, if your graphics card even supports that. However, even though I bought this monitor on the off-chance that it was 3D compatible, I'm still keeping it since it's so pretty.
