Rating: - Incompetent Adjustment Control Design
This monitor is bright, colorful, and basically the best you can get for under $300 in terms of picture (though I've noticed a lot of eye strain comes with this). However, the person who designed the adjustment buttons should be taken out back and kept from working in this industry until he or she reaches at least the age of 13. They are awful. First of all, they're not even buttons, they're just tiny areas on the bezel that you're supposed to touch, even though they are practically invisible (you'll need a flashlight to even detect them). They don't always respond to your touch, of course, so adjusting the monitor's picture can be as arduous as producing a bowel movement while on the Atkins diet. I honestly thought this adjustment panel was a joke, but I couldn't find anybody laughing.
Whatever you do, don't let any of your friends or family see you attempting to adjust settings on this thing, because the sight of you hunched over your desk shining a flashlight at your monitor in the middle of the day while poking it to death with your finger and uttering every curse word known to man in pure frustration will probably cause them to change their opinion of you somewhat. Did Samsung even bother to test this thing before they released it? There's really no excuse for this.
Rating: - Glossy Bezel
Overall we like this monitor. The only possible drawback is the glossy bezel which can introduce some glare. Our older Samsung 214T had a flat finish which is what we prefer.
Rating: - Very good monitor but you'll need a flashlight and patience
Installed well and produces a very good image. If you want or need to change the factory settings, you will be in for a frustrating experience. First off, you will need a flashlight to see the adjustment buttons. Then you'll need a lot of patience in trying to make the desirable settings. The buttons are very sensitive and do not always activate the first time. It took me many tries until I finally got the settings I wanted. If you have thin fingers you may not have much of a problem. On the plus side is that the dvi cable is included even though Samsung says it is optional. The bad side, for me, is that the cable was not long enough (approximately 5 feet) for my installation. Fortunately I had ordered a 6 foot cable at the time I ordered the monitor. Bottom line: a very good monitor but difficult to adjust.
Rating: - Great Quality Image
I have not yet experienced a LCD monitor this good. The picture is excellent, there is very nice smooth/shiny finish on the screen, and I love the zero-force touch buttons that are part of the frame.
My digital video card went bad right before i got this monitor, so i have only tested the Analog side of it. I think some of the software will not work because of this. However, the menus/options on the monitor itself allow for all the configuration i need.
My eyes need a LOT of light to see correctly without strain so i like my screens bright. This Samsung has met those needs - no issues with hitting a brightness max! Very clear and easy on the eyes image.
