I'm Samsold

Advantages: The best 22" monitor in the price/quality ratio
Disadvantages: It'll make everything else on your desk look so crappy

...any deoderant near it. Fortunately Samsung have wisely provided you with a cleaning cloth, so thats alright. The third thing is that it just looks so good switched off. It sits there on your desk vey discreetly, even though its quite large. It doesn't dominate a room like some televisions and it seems to enhance the look of everything around it. It's as much a style object as an expensive coffee table. Now the switch on. I use the DVI port, so I ...
...ownership. Only clean with the Samsung cloth or a cleaning cloth for a pair of glasses. This minimizes scratching. Secondly, keep the box. How do you go about transporting something like this if you don't have it? Finally, do not use screen wipes on it. Just a slightly damp, clean cloth will do, but don't press too hard. And keep the apple away from the monitor. To sum up, yes its expensive, yes it is a luxury, and after all, It is a monitor doing ...

Big, fast and looks good. Buy at least one.

Advantages: high quality, ultra fast response, big screen, good customer services
Disadvantages: a bit pricey, fades in slowly on startup

I only bought my first 226BW a few days ago, and I was impressed with it but I thought it would be a bit nicer to have dual 22 inch screens, so I went and bought another. The picture output of the large TFT monitor is wonderful, and even though I've never really been keen on the 16:10 (wide) aspect ratio, I do rather enjoy the image on these monitors, as I am doing now (at the amazing 1680x1050 resolution I may add). Now, I got them for £250 each ...
...of picture and general niceness justifies this. A report from a friend however, mocking me about this, told me he saw one in Planet Micro for £220, so maybe you can get them cheaper - take a look around before you buy is my advice. I gave the customer services a call to find out some things that I probably could have found in the manual. I asked what the maximum brightness was, and the woman on the other end told me 300cd/m2 (and knew what it meant!). ...

A+ display. Works great for my Xbox 360 too.

Advantages: Great display, amazing colours and fairly decent price.
Disadvantages: The stand for the monitor isn't fantastic, but it does the job.

...As always I think Samsung continue to manufacture some of the best displays that are out there and this screen is no exception. It has an amazingly fast 2ms response time which means no ghosting or anything you might get with other LCD displays. One of the best monitors in this price range I have laid my eyes on. ...

Value for money and stylish looks

Advantages: Good spec and looks great. Toll free technical support!
Disadvantages: few, stand is not height adjustable but this is relatively minor.

...An attractive bonus is that Samsung supplies an industry-standard three-year parts-and-labor warranty, which also covers the backlight. Toll-free tech support is also available for the life of the display. One design flaw is the screens stand, this can be adjusted to tilit or swivel but isn't height-adjustable. The 226BW has both analog D-sub and Digital Visual Interface (DVI) ports. The DVI input supports High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection ...
...the monitor with Windows Vista. Samsung includes both analog/D-sub and DVI cables with the monitor. Some facts and figures for the technical minded: Contrast Ratio (X:1): 3000 DVI Interface: Yes Dot Pitch in mm: 0.28 Horizontal Frequency in KHz: 81 Horizontal Resolution in Pixel: 1680 Reflection Angle: 160 Response Time in ms: 2 Screen Format: 16:10 Screen Size in Inches: 22 Signal Input: D-Sub 15 Poles + DVI-D Vertical Frequency in Hz: ...
