Customer Reviews
Purchased this monitor as an add-on for my work laptop (Lenovo T510) for home use. Very nice picture, after I finished tweaking the settings. I'm using a Display port to HDMI adapter cable from monoprice to plug this monitor into my laptop. Setup was easy with Windows 7, just plug it in. I did have to spend some time tweaking the display settings to get the picture right. Specifically, if you are using this as a PC monitor (not as a TV) you need to go into the setup menu and change it from AV mode to PC mode. This improved the picture quality substantially. Text that seemed blurry became crisp. You should also tweak the brightness and contrast until it looks good, as the factory settings can be ridiculous on these things.
I'm running it in it's native resolution of 1920x1080. Haven't tried the Samsung software, but I may set this up when I have some time. Definitely a great buy at $200 on Amazon.
Only real cons to this product are the tricky touch controls on the front - takes a little getting used to. And the stand is not height adjustable.
I'm giving this monitor an okay because physically, it's a great piece of work. The colors are great and i use it to play Starcraft 2 and Modern Warfare.
Size is great for a computer monitor and HDMI and CRT connections to computers is flawless.
My only gripe, which is kinda of a big one is that Samsung's monitor software doesn't work.. at least it's completely INCOMPATIBLE with Windows 7. Whenever it is installed on Windows and runs, my computer pretty much restarts itself every bootup. Therefore causing me to not be able to start my computer at all. I had to use system restore and go back to before i installed Samsung's monitor software to fix the problem.
It would have been a great idea if the software works - to be able to control all monitor settings via computer desktop. but oh wellz. I use it like a normal HD monitor. Amazon offered a great price when i got it. Till this day, i have not seen a 1080p 24" monitor with equivalent specs at near the same price point.
