This LCD monitor has been working very well since I bought it two month ago as a gaming monitor. Build quality is good and it has bright, vivid color. The utility is useful too.

my other sammy gave out after 5 years, so price wise, this was a great price! Nice monitor easy setup. you can use HDMI or VGA on this unit. I found this out because they, NCIX split up the order (monitor and HDMI cable sent seperate) The HDMI cable showed up 2 days later! Still NCIX Rocks! The only thing I noticed at night, its not completely dark

I got this monitor as a part of a new build on the sale price, but I soon noticed that if the desk shook sometimes or my HDMI cable was disturbed, that the screen would briefly lose connection. It would go black for just a moment before going back to normal. I likely just have a faulty monitor, but sideways facing inputs seem quite unintuitive as a design choice in the first place.

I've had several monitors but my last 2 have been Samsung's and I have not been disappointed. This new one is no exception so far. I use it 50/50 gaming/work. Great, vivid picture quality with many easy-to-use settings to choose from. Stand and monitor bezel is very nice. Stand doesn't shake much. I was a bit worried about the "Translucent Red Gradation" and how bright/distracting it would be. I wanted pure black. Rest assured, it is not. The screen looks gloss black until light is shined on the bezel. I actually think it's a nice touch now. Don hesitate to pick this monitor up if; especially if it's on sale.

Fantastic monitor when on sale price. I nearly did not buy it because of no DVI, but I would think HDMI is mostly going to replace DVI anyway. If you don't have HDMI, check if your video card may have come with a DVI to HDMI adapter. The onscreen menu works well and the touch sensitive buttons are responsive.Has only RGB cable included but this is pretty standard for now at least.

This monitor is great for $139 but, I would have been disappointed for the full $239 price. It has a picture about the same as a previous Samsung (P2370) and Dell I have and both of them were $150 full price. The lack of display port or DVI could be a problem, make sure you have an RGB or HDMI port free on your vid card. The bezel is about 2cm wide. I am using it as the centre monitor in 3 monitor surround and it's not bad.
