    A year ago, this screen might well have been interesting, but right now the only thing that sets is apart is its poor color handling. What's even worse is that Samsung knows how to do it better. Read more

    • Good contrast, Below average energy consumption
    • Colors need calibration, TN panel so poor viewing angles, Fairly unsophisticated stand

    I've enjoyed this monitor for a while, but recently got a computer running Windows 7. The resolution options offered for the monitor are now all wrong. Photos are stretched very wide, etc. No problem, I figured I would just go to the Samsung site and get their drivers. Unfortunately their driver failed with error messages. So I talked to their live chat and they informed me that it's not compatible with Win 7. Read more

    Other people talk about the stand being hard to install, it only took me about 30 secs to put it together. (Thats for both of them) One piece of advice, do not put the platform on, install the neck piece first then the platform. I know what the instructions say. You do have to shove it in pretty hard.
