  • Beautifully Displayed (and now in Silver!!)

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 11, 2006
    Pros: Upscales 1024x768 very well, great color reproduction, low black level, 1600x1200 resolution, Silver Benzel
    Cons: Up/Down view angle is low

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Love this monitor

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 12, 2008
    Pros: Excellent value, fantastic picture
    Cons: Wouldn't mind built in USB, speakers, or video inputs.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Cons: Line of dead pixels, but was under warranty.

    Summary: I bought this LCD monitor Sept. of 2006 and have been satisfied with it ever since. It comes with very useful and easy to use software that allows you to dial in the contrast and color settings to match your environment and preferences. The display is ... read more

    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.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Pros: Size, sharpness, color quality, ease of operation, 5ms, PRICE
    Cons: Failed after less than two years.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Excellent monitor with a couple of quirks

    Jul 14, 2006
    Pros: LARGE viewing area, very crisp image.
    Cons: Viewing angles. Pixel pitch a bit small.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    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.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Cons: Up/Down view angle is low

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Pros: Great for games, artwork and spreadsheets.
    Cons: One pixel line is dead from left to right and I never returned it.

    Summary: I've got three of these on my desk right now and I'm pretty happy with them. I purchased two of them new and one used on E-bay. After just 2 months one of the newer ones lost an entire one pixel horizontal row.With two others to look at I can live

    Pros: beautiful picture
    Cons: fails way too frequently ... poor quality control.

    Summary: I use two 204Bs at work, liked them, and so bought 3 for home (wife's, son's, and own PC) about 2 years ago. Over that time I have had to send 4 back for exchange. Samsung gives (gave?) a 3 year warranty. This weekend my son's monitor digital video

    Pros: Cheap. Fit GREAT
    Cons: not clear. Stat icy

    Summary: I just bought this for my new LG phone and although it was straightforward to set up it was very stat icy and not clear even when close to the phone. Plus even though I had charged it for 2 hours as recommended it didn’t even last 20 minutes. Also it

    Summary: We have been using the 320 for about 6 months and can't find anything wrong. It has good battery life, excellent sound quality, even in noisy environments and on the other end, too. The charge time is comparable at under 2 hours. Comfortable, light, and

    Pros: Good monitor bad customer service
