Best Widescreen Alternative
I bought two of these, so far so good. I do a lot of spreadsheet work and like the squarish format over widescreen, I am able to open 4 to 6 spreadsheet windows and place them all. With a widescreen, the vertical placement is difficult. I used them at work for hours on end, really comfy on my eyes. I am glad I got them. Am a bit leery about the problems mentioned, but so far so good. I hope they will make this squarish format for a long time to come and not go with the widescreen fad. I r...

Great When it works but support sucks
Most folks report good things about this monitor and I don't doubt them but my experience has so far been very different. I bought this unit in late August. The unit arrived in perfect working order and with NO dead pixels. The monitor was truly beautiful with great color depth and high contrast and like all LCDs - no reflections. Very easy to use and watch. But at the end of 3 weeks of use a black horizontal line about 10 pixels high showed up about an 1/8th of the way down the screen. I ...

Nice Monitor
I use this monitor for AutoCad, internet surfing, and games.
This monitor seems like a huge upgrade from a 19" monitor. I expected to barely notice the size differance but it is very noticable.
THe adjustments on the monitor seem to work alright. It tilts back and forth, swivels from side to side, goes up and down, and rotates. All of the movements are smooth. The only problem here is when you rotate the screen the cords in the back don't allow for a smooth turn.
I got...

Good value
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: 1600x1200 resolution and DVI produce nice, crisp text and lots of screen area. So much better than 1280x1024. Screed door effect much less noticable than the 19-inchers too.
Response time is good and I find it a pleasure to game on. It's an LCD so there's still ghosting, but I don't find it to be an issue, personally.
The stand's flexibility is great,...

Beautiful
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: This is the best LCD I've ever seen or used (and I've used a lot). Great color, size, response, clearity, etc. The best part for me is the 1600x1200 resolution!
This monitor is so bright I had to turn the brightness and contrast down to 70%.
Cons: It's true that if you look at the screen from sharp angles, up and down directions only, the colors distort and blur. This is not a problem...

Bad news / good news
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Very easy adjustablility of height and tilt. So far so good on the resolution. Support from has been very good.
Cons: I had my first 204B up and running for about 15 minutes before running dxdiag which (presumably) turned it into an large paper weight. I called both Samsung and Newegg and chose to do the Advance Replacement where Samsun...

My first LCD
I waited for a while to upgrade to a flat panel monitor. I read many reviews before purchasing this 204B. I play BF2, COD2, Medal of Honor, online games. I think this monitor is the perfect size and has nice clarity for text and pictures. It also plays games well with seemingly no lag or hesitation with it's 5ms refresh rate. I use it with 2 computers, my gamer on digital and my general use machine on analog. I can switch between the two machines with a touch of a button on the front of the...

Outstandingly Incredible
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: I finally made the jump from my 19” CRT to this amazing 20.1” LCD. Right out of the box it was a delight to install and use. Flabbergasted upon powering it up my jaw bounced off the desk many times when it first lit up. Incredible images and so much detail. I was so used to the glare of my CRT and had to turn off my overhead lights when using it. My wife accu...

Very, very pleased
I concur with the previous reviews. There is one thing that I want to add.
My wife liked this monitor in the store. But, she had been using a 21" CRT at 1024 x 768, and I was very concerned that a jump from there to 1600 x 1200 would be more of a font size reduction than she bargained for. And, my general feeling about LCD's is that, if you don't use them at their native resolution, they don't look all that good.
I'm happy to report that I was right and wrong. 1600 x 1200 W...

A Positive Review
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Well, I can't really suggest anything to the first reviewer here on how to better experience this monitor, but as for me, I love it.
Great Contrast
Bright Picture
Unnoticable Ghosting
Great Black Colors
1600 x 1200 Resolution
I had a GateXXX FPD2185W 21"" Widescreen Monitor (1680 x 1050) and I returned it for this because the colors/pictures just looked a lot better to me. The gamma a...
