Backlight bleeding issues.
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Huge screen for the money. It's amazing to play games on a 22" widescreen. After tweaking the color looked really good. I upgraded from an old 17" lcd and wow it is huge. No dead pixels.
Cons: The one problem I have with this monitor is that it suffers from horrible backlight bleed through. When looking at a dark/black screen you can see a half inch bright band across almost...

I love this monitor! I feel like I have a new PC now :-)
I bought this monitor to replace a 11 year old high quality 17-inch Trinitron CRT that is still working great. While my 17-inch CRT can still match the 225BW for clarity after 11 years of use (and has better color than any LCD can have), I mainly wanted the bigger screen space and far lower heat emission of the 225BW. I work entirely from home in e-commerce software development, so moving from a 17-inch CRT to a 22-inch LCD widescreen gives me MUCH more room to have more windows displayed (the n...

Comprehensive Monitor Review
One of the crazes of 2006-2007 seems to be monitors, and many people seem to get specs-crazy. For good reason though - who wants to spend hundreds of dollars on a piece of bad hardware? I'll attempt to cover most of the major topics people are worried about.
Panel Technology:
Definitely a TN Panel. At the time of this review, most 22" panels are manufactured by Chimei, which I believe is a Taiwanese company. The ramped up production of the Dell 22" may change that, bu...

22" and 19" Paired Monitors
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It's a 22" that matches the height of a Samsung 19" (model I used was the 940BX). 21" and 23" widescreens don't match 19" monitors, so it's nice Samsung came out with a 22". It's sharp and clear, and overall very nice.
Cons: Backlight, as many have said, shows through. Furthermore, this backlight ...

great monitor, consider this instead of a 24 inch.
I looked around for a while and was going to splurge for the dell 24" but then hit the brick and mortars for a look-see. The samsung 22 (225bw) seemed just right, and has a VERY nice screen. I didn't really need a 24", I thought in the end. I was using two 19" monitors but wanted the widescreen and more area for work (I write music for film and also for dance).
I would recommend that instead of doing the $650 for a dell 24" you do the $300 for this samsung (you can find them for abo...

Okay monitor for the price
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Very large (22") and fast (5ms GtG) display for less than $xxx
Well lit games look beautiful, they are bright, detailed and sharp. The large panel really helps immerse you into the game.
Cons: This display uses a TN panel which means it is very fast, but poor viewing angle and color reproduction.
Let me focus on the poor viewing angle. Sitting two f...

Great Monitor with some quirks
I just got this monitor during the Thanksgiving frenzy and purchased it on a whim (for 299$) without checking any reviews before. I have been using different Samsung 15" and 19" Monitors so far and always have been thrilled about their quality and image display.
The first thing I noticed when Windows boots up, was same backlight bleeding on the top and bottom of the display frame, i.e. it was not totally black as it should be. Nevertheless, during normal use you don't see it.
The...

Wow! not what I expected
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Bought this monitor thinking it was a good deal over a Dell 2007wfp - Good size and price, but........
Cons: Should have realized it was a TN panel!
For those who don't know what a TN panel is, it's the cheapest form factor for LCD's (terrible viewing angles and poor color reproduction!
Other Thoughts: Will order the 2007 WFP right away...

Beautiful image display, a little light on features
I have had this monitor about a week now and love the way the display looks. It is bright, even, and beautiful. I am using it with my G4 PowerBook (with the lid closed and an external keyboard & mouse). It even came with the right cable. The PowerBook scaled to the monitor's native resolution flawlessly, and now I feel like I got a new computer! For such a large monitor, the price was fantastic. My only gripe is it runs a little short on features (like a rotatable screen); but I guess had ...
