Since Samsung is one of the largest LCD manufacturers in the world so the quality of the display in this monitor was never in doubt. What disappointed me was that Samsung choose to surround this nice LCD with cheap crap. The stand does not balance and is not adjustable in any manner. The monitor has both VGA and DVI outputs but only comes with a cheap VGA cable - even though today most computer systems use DVI.
Samsung - your product designers need to think your designs through a bit more. Think like Apple or at least Sony, cause I need to buy more monitors, and this time I'm buying a Viewsonic.

I just love this monitor. It was reasonably priced, and it has no problem with any game I have, some are very graphic intensive and action filled. The picture is great, it is very bright. I have it on 15% brightness.

Pros - Great screen with a very clear picture. I owned my previous monitor for about 2 years before I got this one and I am very pleased with it. The aesthetics of the overall build are amazing too. I like the fact that the buttons are hidden but easy to find and the auto-detection and auto-settings on it are really easy to use.
Cons - Sometimes the connection from the monitor to the computer does not get detected so you have to unplug the cable and plug it back in. Not too much of an inconvenience but it does get annoying.

We are very pleased with the picture quality. We just plugged it in and everything is going great. For the price it is very good quality.

This screen is fantastic. I would have given it 5 stars but the only issues I've had with it so far is that it doesn't seem to tilt back at all. It seems like it should but mine won't budge. Also it annoyingly blinks a little bright blue light when my computer goes into standby mode so it wakes me up at night; reminding me I need to turn it off if I'm going to get any sleep.
It comes with a special cleaning cloth and everything. I just keep it near the screen to dust off. The image clarity is amazing and movies look great on it. I game with it and I don't have any glare issues which is perfect. I highly recommend this screen to anyone.
