I was looking for a nice large monitor to attach to my 15 inch macbook pro. I[...]The only problem i have encountered is it is a bit difficult to get the base attached to the monitor. The socket in which it goes is very tight and it took a while and a lot of force to get it in there. The directions about this part were very unclear.
Once the monitor was set up i plugged it in to the wall, then my computer through the included dvi cable and powered it on. Picture showed up in full resolution right away with no need to install drivers or make any adjustments.
This monitor works great as a second monitor, or even as the only monitor with the macbook closed. THe picture is great and this monitor has a 16x 9 aspect ratio instead of the normal 16×10. This makes it great for watching movies or online tv shows.
Great product and great value.
I am using this monitor right now as a backup monitor for my main which died last week. I got this one because of 2 main things; price and repsonse time. If you are into games then you know what a fast response time means. It means less video tearing and faster black to black. My last monitor was 8ms and I thought that it was perfect. Now with this one I am very impressed.
Here are the main specs:
<> Response time: 5ms.
<> Viewable Screen Size: 21.5 inches
<> Viewing Angle: Horizontal 170deg & Vertical 160 deg
<> Contrast Ratios are; Dynamic 15000:1 & Native 1000:1
<> Brightness: 300 cd
<> Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Pros.
>> Price
>> Speed
>> Controls
>> Real HD
Cons.
<< Stand is kind of flimsy
<< Piano black finish shows Cheetos and fingerprints too easily.
Overall 5-star and a great product.
Thank you for reading my review.
This is a great monitor if you want a desktop monitor but I ordered this to wall mount it. The back of the monitor has four screw holes where you can attach it to the wall mount. The first monitor I ordered arrived and the plate that allow you to screw into the monitor had come loose and there were sounds of small pieces bouncing around inside. I returned it and ordered another one. The second one arrived with the same problem but it was not as bad. I removed the case lid as I am comfortable doing so having built computers. Do not do this if your inexperienced as you will inevitably break a plastic clamp doing it incorrectly. With that said I discovered two small metal pieces that provide the screw mounts internally. One had come off and was at the bottom of the monitor. I also discovered that the pieces probably wouldn’t have damaged in internal components as they are all well protected. I fixed it and it works great but I should not have to take a monitor apart to wall mount it. In Samsung’s defense this is probably not an issue if you buy it a store as they are shipped to the store in bulk. I ordered online and had it shipped as a single unit. That probably caused the weak plastic clamp to break in transit but not enough to cause any other problems. It’s clearly a design issue but since I love the lcd I could not return it and buy an Acer although I was tempted. I am sure Samsung will fix it but this isn’t the experience I expected on my 10th or so Samsung product. Optimistic but disappointed they will fix it in future products but disappointed. – Brian, CT
