Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Best Value, no regrets
Review: I bought this monitor in August of 2001 but thought I should wait before I write a review so I know all the ups and downs.

Good:
Monitor is BIG, I can surf 2 web pages and watch a DVD without any overlap. It's also nice when writing a report because I can have my source info on the left hand side and MS Word open on the right. 1600x1200 @ 85hz ROCKS... I think the other guy that wrote the review must have had a crappy video card that couldn't handle the strain of running at that resolution and refresh rate. Also the max resolution of 2048x1536 is great, especially for the price.

Bad: only 2 bad things I can say about this monitor. 1) Vertical bowing on the right I can't adjust (the bottom where the clock is comes up about 2mm) and 2) Sometimes when I turn the monitor on after being cold for a while there is color blurring and slight double vision but it goes away eventually.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: 1200NF Good technical support
Review: I'm on my fifth refurbished system after purchasing a new monitor in November. All of them except the latest system had problems with discoloration. My current system has good color.

The screen doesn't appear to be truly flat. There is a piece of truly flat glass encasing the display.

The OSD controls are easy to use but don't allow me to compensate for vertical bowing toward the center of the display. Video performance at 1600x1200 @85Hz is not very good. All of the monitors exhibited these problems.

Samsung has good technical support people. They were always helpful and responsive.

There are alot of features, but this monitor seems to lack the basics.
