Great Monitor after Calibration
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: -Samsung has several different manufacturer's for the display and it can be a hit or miss game. I unfortunately got this model with the "C" panel screen and it had a very high dominance on blue. But after doing some research online and several different calibrations, I finally got an absolutely fantastic screen. The colors are so vibrant and even ...

Awesome Monitor!!!
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This monitor rocks!! Great picture and no ghosting with the 2 ms response time. With total black screen you can see a tiny bit if light bleeding at the bottom of the screen but that really does not matter to me at all and won't to most people. The bottons on the front allow you to switch between different preset Contrast/Brightness/Gamma...

Sooooo many myths and theories...
I swear, I have never seen so many myths and theories regarding one product like I have with this monitor. First let me say they aren't totally unfounded, however some are just wrong. First "some" of these monitors do have bleeding issues like the picture in this store points out, however it is hit or miss to a certain extent...
First, let me start with the whole "S" "C" "A" panel thing. Obviously, "S" panels are the best, they are from Samsung and have the best quality control etc...

An excellent monitor
This monitor has a great appearance. The screen is bright and sharp, colors are vivid, and there are no flickering or dead pixels--even with an analog signal.
I bought the monitor to use in the office with my four-year-old IBM T40 for general computer use--surfing the web, email, documents, and viewing pictures. I do not use it for gaming, movies, or printing photos.
I was a bit hesitant when I read some of the negative reviews, but my monitor was perfect right out of the ...

More on the C Version
All the talk about the different versions of this display ( S, A, C, and the one made in Mexico) are true I've found. All except the S model are simply inferior in terms of color AND performance (see behardware.com for indepth reviews). I got a C model and the colors are way off (very blue dominated) and I'm having a hard time calibrating it well. Chances are you will end up with a C model or the one made in Mexico (which also has poor color compared to the S) since no one seems to be getting th...

Best monitor I've owned
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Large, font size is readable, very sharp and clear text, beautiful colors. Compared to my 22" CRT and 19" Samsung LCD, this is way better. A great value at half the price of a 24" LCD.
Cons: I haven't found any. I thought I wouldn't like the silver bezel and the glossy black finish, but they're conservative and ...

Good monitor - some issues
First off I would like to say that there are 2 versions on this monitor. There is the "S" panel and the "A" panel. To be blunt, the S panel seems to be superior as it has less backlight bleeding. You can tell if your monitor is an S or A panel by popping up the back panel and looking at the sticker it should look like: Samsung 226BW [R] S or A.
I bought this monitor as an upgrade from a 17" CRT by HP. I also bought this monitor from another site as they were offering free shipping. I ...

A beautiful display!
I've just replaced my ViewSonic VX924 gaming LCD with the Samsung 226BW. Wow, what an amazing display! It's 1000x1 contrast ratio is stellar. Blacks are extremely black and there is virtually no backlight bleed. (Backlight bleed tends to make black or dark colors look gray and it's common with LCDs.) The colors are amazingly bright and vivid. In fact its default settings are almost too bright. Fortunately the 226BW comes preprogrammed with multiple screen modes such as Games, Internet, Movies, ...

Best LCD I've seen.
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Bright Clear Picture. Ultra Fast Response Time. Great for Gamers.
Cons: Bad ghosting with the default drivers - fixed by installing Samsung's drivers. I know its a minor gripe, but make sure you use the Samsung drivers.
You might need to play with the color settings a bit.
Other Thoughts: I own three 22&#...
