LCD monitor as a replacement for a CRT 21" SonyReview created: 10/05/07

First, the monitor is so nice an light after lugging around my 21 inch Sony from 98, that it makes changing your mind as to where to place it really easy. The picture is nice and bright-but can be dimmed to room conditions. The colors are vibrant. Text is easy to read. It's a really good investment-and not a very costly one at that!!

The best way to get the picture quality you wantReview created: 07/17/08

This Samsung widescreen (16.18" Wide X 10.25" High - viewing area) is surprisingly larger when viewed for 2 reasons. First of all , the quality and brightness of colors , especially white , are overly vibrant , to the point where you are actually seeing the screen as larger than 19" widescreen.
These factors are by design and as a result of a very narrow bezel that is also accurate. This accuracy also makes it so that your windows are always straight and in line with the bezel trim , unlike some other monitors that still have a "black" border or trim outside the viewing area. This monitor has approx. 1/16" of black border , therefore it is not readily seen. In fact the brightness is what is seen moreso.
After viewing this monitor for only 2 days , and having just plugged it in to get it to "autoadjust" by itself from the very start , I have come to realize also that it is based on the basics that are needed for a VGA monitor while concentrating on providing an extremely bright and yet adjustable format.
With no speakers or extra hook-ups (like DVI) on the rear of the unit , it is simply "plug & play" compatible. When you plug the monitor in , a bar shows the "autoadjust" feature working when you boot up your computer. Nothing else is required even though there is a CD Rom included which has the monitor driver on it and the online owner's manual in PDF format.
My desktop appeared in 800 X 600 resolution , which was clear and legible , although I changed it to 1024 X 768 resolution as I normally do. If you click to your text editor or wordpad in windows , you will see how clear the printing is in lcd widescreen. This also makes your toolbar options light up brighter so that you can see when you have selected BOLD or Italic and such much easier , like never before.
Being that the monitor is lightweight it is very stable and well balanced considering. You can also note that it is energy star rated which uses less power to run. This monitor is for those of us who simply want a better lcd experience at an affordable price that includes a 3 year (US Parts & Labour) warranty. On a scale of 1-10 , I give this monitor a 9 , for it's intended design and it's simple , yet extremely functional lcd picture. My advice is to buy this monitor before you buy any 19" lcd monitor on the market.
The picture is alot closer to what you see advertised , and remains so once you use it , unlike other 19" square monitors which "do not" enhance the viewing area much more than the usual CRT monitors do , while you disappointedly realize that 19" square is not necessarily good for graphics or movies.
The picture is soooooooooo bright , you might only adjust the brightness down after you set the resolution you prefer. All you might use is the power button afterwards , which has a blue light built in to see when the monitor is on or in standby mode (it flashes off and on) when off in standby mode.
The screen is extremely black when off , this probably contributes to how bright any other colors are when combined.

SAMSUNG 19" MONITORFrom what I heard at the computer store,SAMSUNG supposed to be "the best". I don't know if it is or not but I'm happy with it. I saved a lot of money on the actual cost as well as money saved that could have been spent out looking for one.

Happy with 19" SamsungEasy to install. Compared to my old CRT 13" Dell this thing is great! Color is excellent. Like the wide screen.This is a perfect size for me ,large but not to large. I saved about $50.00 buying on EBay compared to local big box stores.

I recently purchased the Samsung widescreen LCD monitor as a replacement for my Dell 15" flat-screen monitor. I had decided that I wanted to go with a widescreen but did not spend much time researching brands. It just so happened that my local wholesale club had this particular widescreen monitor in stock, so I thought I'd try it. I looked up reviews online and it looked like a pretty decent monitor.
Out of the box, the monitor was pretty simple to install. The directions were clear on how to attach the base to the monitor, and it came with all the necessary cables which made plug-in a snap. At first glance, I wasn't impressed with the size compared to my 15" monitor, but once I started using my programs, I really noticed the difference.
The first thing I noticed was the amazing color quality!! Compared to my DELL, this computer monitor has impressive color and imaging. Next, I noticed the flexiblity - I really like having the wider screen. It makes it easier to view webpages, Instant message, and use my design programs like Photoshop and Illustrator. I tend to have a lot of windows open at once, and I found this screen to be big enough to handle it.
I haven't had any problems with this monitor at all. The default image settings are perfect and I don't feel any need to alter the color, contrast or default settings. It's just perfect! I did some research before I bought, and it seemed that this monitor was comparable with other 19" screens in the same price range, but overall I think Samsung has done well with this one!! I felt it was a good value and I spent about $200 with tax, but I feel it was a good buy. I would highly recommend this monitor to anyone that needs to upgrade their flat-screen.
