Samsung SyncMaster T220 22" LCD Monitor

Sharp and classy upgrade

Strengths: Strong grayscale and shadow rendering. Vibrant colors. MagicTune software makes it easy to adjust instead of fiddling with buttons on side. DVI cable included.

Weakness: Not a thin bezel. No height, pivot adjustments -- though I probably wouldn't use those much anyways.

Uses 37 watts during use and less than 1 watt when not in sue. Did a side by side video/photo comparison with my previous 22" LCD which was over a year old. Could see that the Samsung T220 did a better job with dark scenes and other shadow areas that would get muddy on the old monitor. It's somewhat on the higher end price range, though it is still a new model.

T220

Strengths: No dead pixels, excellent colors, large screen, 4:3 ratio adjustment capability

Weakness: No height adjustment, tilts only backwards, wobbly

When purchasing this monitor I was deciding between LG L227WTGPF, Samsung 2253BW, and this one. Light areas were washed out on LG, and 2253BW was not so good at displaying subtle color changes. So far I am happy with this monitor: although not as accurate as in my old CRT 17" Samsung, colors are vivid and natural (I am using EVGA 256M 8600GTS video card) and I am glad to have more screen space....

Amazing!

Strengths: Crystal clear and no broken pixels.

Weakness: Its a dust collector and a (little) bit wobbly(only from left to right) That isn't an issue for me.

This monitor is worth every penny. It has no broken pixels, which on my last monitor I had 2 so thats a relief. Its a (tiny) bit wobbly only from left to right but its not bad at all. CRYSTAL clear and I'm happy I purchased it. I highly recommend it.
