Epinions Very Large, Very Accurate (in Black!)

by  nad_masters, top reviewer in Computer Hardware ,  Feb 26, 2006
Pros: Upscales from 1024x768 very well, very good color reproduction, low black level, 1600x1200 native resolution
Cons: Up/Down view angle is low
The Bottom Line: It's brand new and in need of recognition from mainstream reviewers. However, I would bet it's the best NEW monitor out there today.
Review: After purchasing this black version, I encountered the silver version of the same monitor. At first, ePinions did not have the black version on their site, but now that they do, I will move the black version of my review here. However, since they are ...

Review: I'm not a huge fan of using LCDs for gaming, but with today's new faster panels, I wonder if they are ready for prime time gamers. The first LCD display I owned was the P rinceton LCD1910 19" LCD monitor. Even on ...

Epinions Excellent if you get a good one

by  DCannon,  Sep 17, 2006
Pros: Size, sharpness, color quality, ease of operation, 5ms, PRICE
Cons: Failed after less than two years.
The Bottom Line: See my "Bottom Line" at end of review
Review: With my aging eyes, and doing what I do as a graphic designer, it was time to upgrade from a 17" LCD to something larger. After some research, and finding out what's available locally, I decided on the Samsung 204B. My usual haunt, Best Buy was out of ...

Epinions Love this monitor

by  Coz,  Feb 12, 2008
Pros: Excellent value, fantastic picture
Cons: Wouldn't mind built in USB, speakers, or video inputs.
The Bottom Line: Don't hesitate at all, buy these with confidence.
Review: I waited and waited to replace my triple 19" monitor setup with flat panel displays. It wasn't that I couldn't find any monitors I liked, it was because I wasn't thrilled with the idea of spending over $1000 for new monitors. Then came the "Black ...

Pros: Cost, Brightness, Performance, 3 year warranty, SAMSUNG SUPPORT!!!

Epinions An Impressive Headset for Your Money

Pros: GREAT Sound Quality, Good Battery life, Affordable and Comfortable
Cons: None!

Epinions Beautiful big screen

by  sashazur2,  May 23, 2006
Pros: Great color quality, pivots to portrait mode, locked onto analog signal correctly first time.
Cons: Software adds non-optional Startup and tray icons that many users won't need.
The Bottom Line: Great display quality, easy to use. Useful pivot feature. Software works but could be better thought out.
Review: I got this monitor as a gift and I am extremely pleased so far. Industrial Design: The monitor has very clean and simple attractive looks. The up/down adjustment is smooth (though I wish it would go just a bit lower, though when you try to ...

Epinions Excellent monitor with a couple of quirks

by  davebenham,  Jul 14, 2006
Pros: LARGE viewing area, very crisp image.
Cons: Viewing angles. Pixel pitch a bit small.
The Bottom Line: If you can live with the two issues I noted (I can easily deal with them), then it is an awesome unit.
Review: I own a 930B, the Samsung 19 inch monitor and it has a awesome picture. So when it came time to buy a replacement for another 19 inch CRT, I decided to take the plunge and buy an even larger Samsung model. Overall this monitor is crisp and clean, and ...

Epinions A beautiful picture. If it works

by  maomatt,  Nov 22, 2006
Pros: The monitor has a beautiful picture. I loved the monitor stand. It looks nice.
Cons: - Shoddy quality control. - Software is annoying and poorly conceived.
The Bottom Line: not approved: bad quality control outweighs the positives described by the other reviewers. The aggravation and waste of my time add up to a negative review
Review: I purchased this product via Newegg almost 5 months ago and It worked beautifully untill.... My 204B developed a line of dead pixels across the screen about two thirds of the way up. Needless to say, this was unacceptable. I contacted Samsung tech ...
