Summary: Bad geometry
Review: This monitor (compared to my old 17" MAG from 6 years ago) had somewhat washed-out colors and was a little fuzzy, but the real problem was that the bottom right corner was bowed in a little. I used it for a week thinking I was being too picky and that I would get used to it, but it was driving me nuts and I took it back to Best Buy to have it replaced. I took the replacement out at the store to make sure the geometry was good; good thing, because that one's top edge curved down.

If you can get one of these that works as designed, it's probably great for the price. Just be wary of the quality. Another reviewer complained about the geometry, so I know I'm not the only one. I'm glad I returned mine when I did; if mine failed after a few weeks/months (as some seem to), it would have been a bigger hassle.

Just a side note, but almost half of the products returned at Best Buy that day were Samsung products. VCRs, LCD screens, DVD players, everything. I'm not going to buy another one of their products regardless of how good a deal it is.

Summary: update on the monitor
Review: this monitor is great if your using it to read and surf the web. However, if you are chosing to watch dvds, movies, and look at pics don't get this monitor. The image quality for this monitor viewing JPEG, and MPEG is very poor. I'm updating my past post "decent product". I felt from the prolong expose to this monitor, I have to state some facts to people considering to buy it. If I had a choice over, to chose a pc monitor, I will not be so sure if I would have chose this monitor. It's works well in some aspects such and regular normal uses, but for viewing, it's seems like it doesn't really cut the bottom line.

in the past post, i've stated it works well with high quality JPEG and MPEG, but I've tried to played high quality MPEG(example: 700MB files) and have gotten poor images. That is not suppose to happen. I'm a little disappointed but for the price of the product, it's a deal. But sometimes, I'm wondering does the anti-glare work 100 bucks? Because regular CPT are running for about 150bucks, and bestbuy has this stuff for free delievery. This monitor costs around 220 not including shipping, which is an additional 40bucks, totaling to about 260bucks, which is a difference of 110 bucks. If the anti-glare doesn't matter to you, or for a matter of fact, if the anti-glare even works, you might want to consider another monitor. For those people seeking high quality imaging, I suppose Sony, i think sony product is slightly better for this technology, and the results should be more desirable.

Summary: 57 Days
Review: 57 days is how long this monitor lasted. I liked the picture and the reviews were fairly positive, but it just died. Oddly enough, it was a white screen of death.
Now, Samsung will allow me to pay to send it back to them and they will happily provide me with a refurbished model. This means I get to pay list plus shipping for a refurbished monitor.

Maybe after two tries they can get it right?

Don't waste your time or money!!

Summary: I love this awesome monitor!
Review: This is the first monitor I have really grown to love.
Here's why.:

1: It's big. Real big.
2: The screen is FLAT!! Way less glare.
3: The screen is perfectly bright. It's settings allow brighter display than most.
4: The resolution is awesome. Handles very high resolution w/o overheating or anything.
5: It's a perfect exterior color, likely to match your computer system and surrounding environment.
6: It has a classy design.

For me, it's just a perfect monitor!! I'd way rather have it then pay almost double for a decent 15" flat panel monitor. Maybe in a couple years when flat panels have higher resolution (like the HDTV flat panels) and when they are way cheaper, then I'll buy a big one of those. But for now, I have the desk space.

My monitor provides me the perfect computer environment. Since the screen is a dynaflat, sunlight reflection doesn't irritate me as it used to with my other monitors. Since it's also big, I now lean back in my chair, lift up my legs and rest my cordless logitech keyboard on my lap. My back feels better. My shoulders feel better. My wrists feel better. My eyes feel better. My whole body feels better.

Just make sure you do what's right for you and get the best monitor you deserve. I love this one. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Summary: it's a "decent" product
Review: to all consumers shopping for a pc monitor! Samsung Dynaflat Syncmaster 955DF 19" CRT Monitor is decent monitor. It's not the best of quality but it's suitable. I've only used it for a couple of days and realize it has some problems with full mode view. It seems to function well with high quality JPEG and MPEG. But with low quality it has extremely poor imaging. I've use windows media player 7.0, and view files at full mode, and gotten worse quality compared to my old regular dell CRT. With high quality files, this monitor enhances the beauty of the images, so it's not a complete lost nor great bargain. It's a fair valued item.

Summary: Incredible Value and Performance
Review: This monitor is, quite simply, the best 19" display I have seen. It works flawlessly, and is available for far less money than any of its closest competitors. Consider this: When I was in the market for my new PC, I was looking for a quality 17" display. The price of the 955DF allowed me to puchase a 19" display instead, with an amazing .20 dot pitch to boot!

The only disadvantage that I've found with this monitor is that it is very deep. If the furniture you expect to put it on is close to the wall, you'd better measure it against the 955DF's dimensions and those of your other desk equipment (keyboard, mouse) to make sure everything will fit.

In short, I cannot recommend this monitor highly enough. It's an excellent piece of equipment that will last you for years and years, and you can purchase it for the price of a mid-level 17" display!

Summary: Most bang for your buck!
Review: You won't get a flat screen 19 inch monitor for this price anywhere else. I've been using for 7~8 months now, and I did not have a single problem with this. I read a complaint about driving 30 min to get it fixed-- but I do believe Samsung has advanced fix program where you call them, and they will send you a new one and charge your credit card, and after you receive your product, you send your broken one back, and they will credit your credit card back. How easy is that?

Strongly recommended!

Summary: Can't hope for more for this price.
Review: I purchased this monitor several months ago and have not regretted my decision. The picture is extremely clear. The only complaint I have is a minor geometry problem, but it's not noticeable unless you are looking for it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great monitor for the money!
Review: My Sony was starting to ghost so it was time to start shopping. Sony's btw, have a great picture but seem to last just about as long as their warranty before they die. This is based on what I have read and and others I know with Trinitrons. Anyway, I figured I would look at moving up to a 19" from my 17". ...Its picture is just as bright as a Trinitron without the annoying thin lines. It is clear and text is easy to read. The colors are great. It fit into the same spot on my computer desk as my 17". Buy one, you won't be disappointed!!
