 Great Monitor April 9, 2010

The monitor looks and performs great.
I have a "droopy lip" Touch of Color red TV in the living room and I think I prefer the squared off look of this monitor. The red is very subtle around the edges with a brighter spot just below the SAMSUNG logo. The controls take a bit of getting used to and can be difficult to find in the dark when the monitor is off. Typically swiping my finger along the right side of the bottom edge is enough to turn the monitor on and/or light up the controls. The base for the monitor is a bit wobbly if you don't have a sturdy desk.
The default color calibration is pretty good. The greens seem a bit hot. It's very bright at the default settings as well. The included MagicTune software for Windows 7 was listed as Beta and I was never able to get it to work properly. I tried downloading the version of the software Samsung suggests on their site for Windows 7 and all it would do is tell me it was incompatible. This was disappointing, but not a huge deal.
The biggest issue for me was that when I plugged the monitor in via HDMI, the edges of the picture were cut off. It was running in the native 1080p resolution. I tried changing the resolution and nothing seemed to help. I started digging around in the menus of the monitor and noticed that under SETUP&RESET there is a PC/AV Mode option. For some reason, the default setting was AV. I'm guessing they are assuming that if you're using the HDMI input, you are plugging in a non-PC component. This seems like an odd assumption on a PC monitor. The manual didn't mention anything about this being a potential issue. Hopefully this bit of knowledge will help someone else.
Excellent Monitor June 15, 2010

I recently purchased this monitor for my daughter to use with her MacMini. It is a very expensive looking monitor with excellent controls and image. I work for a printing company in their imaging department and I would say that for the money it is a top notch monitor. You would be hard pressed to find anything better at this price. The packaging came with all the right cables and I was able to hook it up to the MacMini with no problem at all. I work with color images all day and I couldn't find anything I dislike with this monitor so far. As for the reviewer who posted that the monitor's base was fixed, they either upgraded it or the poster didn't install it right because I was able to tilt it backwards and forwards. I'll say that its equal to my Mac 23 inch Cinema or even better at a fraction of the the price.
Wow this is an awesome monitor. May 9, 2010

For years now, I have just been working on my original MacBook with a 13.3" screen (1280 x 800). I hadn't looked at the prices of new LCDs until I saw an article about a new 27" ViewSonic when I decided to start looking into them again. $259 for at 24" Samsung is such an amazing deal; I have doubled my screen real estate (tripled if I use this monitor in addition to the MacBook's monitor). The DVI quality is superb and the screen is ridiculously bright - the sun could be right behind me and the monitor still shines...I actually have to keep the brightness turned down slightly.
Overall I highly recommend this if you're in the market for your first or a replacement external monitor. This is my second Samsung LCD product, the first being a 42" LCD TV which has been equally as awesome.
Great Monitor! at an awesome price! April 9, 2010

I just received my monitor today so far so great! the screen is really large so viewing video and gaming is awesome. I love the fact that the buttons are touch screen style so they only activate to touch. wonderful color... We'll see... but so far so good. I can't say anything bad about this monitor, and for the price it's a steal! the same monitor is at a local store for almost $100 more. I have heard some people on here talking about color spots in their monitors display but I haven't seen anything bad so far. But as I always say we'll see... But Hey if it keeps running a clear picture like this I'll buy another one for my downstairs computer. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get a monitor!
Dont listen to the negative reviews August 6, 2010

I will keep it brief and to the point. I upgraded from a Dell 22" LCD screen 1680x1050. Some people may think oh not such a big difference,wrong. The picture quality on this screen is amazing. very crisp clear and brings out true colors. Movies are fantastic even older games like FSX look 100% better than it did on the old monitor. Very bright takes a little bit to get use to i probably should turn it down. This monitor shows what my Asus GTX480 video card is truely capable of i am very very very pleased. As for the stand, its not shaking as i type and its not going to fall over even if i dance around the computer desk. I dont see how it differs from any other monitor i have. Dont give out negative reviews becuase your intentionally shaking the screen or you didnt put the stand together correctly and it wobbles. If your looking for an enthusiest monitor for gamingg,simming,movies and multimedia than is the right monitor thank you samsung and [...] becuase i got it way cheaper.
