Duration of ownership: 1 Months
Strengths: Bright image, great detail, lots of controls, attractive, height adjustment.
Weaknesses:Cannot be calibrated, over-saturated reds even after calibration, deep shadows block up, vertical viewing angle is zero.
Overall Evaluation: I have been working hard to find a reasonably priced large monitor for photographic work. This is my 3rd Samsung. I need accurate color and none of the three could be calibrated by any method (including fudging all the controls and using the best sensor based calibration systems). Reds always oversaturate. The worst problem is that there is NO vertical position where you can see the whole image accurately. 1/4" of vertical motion and the top gets darker and the bottom lighter or visa versa. If you are a graphic artists, stay away. For general purpose use it is a good deal.

Strengths: great picture
Weaknesses:Can't be used as a second monitor with laptop even with AMD-ATI graphics card (256 MB) XP. Setup using DVI & analog cables w supplied drivers permanently blacks out notebook monitor by changing XP OS disabling brightness & other controls. This is a reported issue without a fix. Model doesn't swivel as advertised.
Overall Evaluation: As a notebook user I feel Samsung failed to notify consumers of irreversible changes in XP OS by using this monitor & drivers on notebooks as a primary or second monitor. Samsung doesn't offer online support for resolving problems with monitors. Returning the monitor doesn't solve being left with a blank screen on a high end graphics gamer notebook. Samsung's lack of probelms solving suppoprt with new products is very disappointing.

Strengths: HUGE, bright, beautiful LCD. No ghosting even during a very extended gaming session. 1920 x 1200 resolution really shows off this masterpiece's strength.
Weaknesses:Strenghts Continued:I can see no major issues with viewing angle; but I'm not using it for anything other than general and gaming. NO DEAD PIXELS ! WOOT ! Samsung rocks.
Overall Evaluation: Had to turn the brightness down to 40% because it was giving me a full frontal sunburn. I think my contacts were melted to my eyes before I realized what happened. ONSALE.com was awesome with delivery and price. $50 rebate from Samsung sealed the deal; now to see if I can actually get the rebate back from Samsung.

Duration of ownership: 2 Days
Strengths: Clean, adjustable, includes DVI and VGA cables and cleaning cloth, 24 inch, wall mountable
Weaknesses:Viewing angles are awful, but it doesn't matter because I sit in front of my monitor
Overall Evaluation: Overall, a great purchase if your on a budget. I only hope it continues to impress...Samsung is a name you can trust, and evidently this is no exception. I hooked it up to my iMac (which the screen has gotten worse over time) and it makes it look like garbage. I use my 20-inch iMac for windows I won't be looking at and I use this screen for games, movies, and websites.5MS response time is great, but I would have liked the 2MS response time that was included with the 22-inch version. But this is a higher resolution.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months
Strengths: Superb contrast and brightness, precise color, clean look, excellent response rate, easy to adjust (tilt and height)
Weaknesses:No easy way to turn monitor vertical or mount on a wall. (I do not use this feature)
Overall Evaluation: The primary use for my monitor is home. It has been a great asset for working at home on spreadsheets. The characters are sharp and contrast/brightness settings make it quick to change between preprogrammed and customs settings. Over the 3 months have been using the monitor I have been very pleased. I also do some gaming playing World of Warcraft BC. It is always a disappointment when I have to play on any other monitor. You wont find a better monitor that provides this much value.
