Grab These Before They're Gone!!!!! [Posted on 2008-05-30]
I own two Samsung's 226BW's used on a video editing system. The performance is very good. I needed another 22-inch monitor, and I thought Samsung's newer 2253BW would be just as good. WRONG!!!! I thought that text on the 226BW's wasn't quite sharp enough, so I substituted a 2253BW for comparison. The difference was amazing. The 226's appear to be significantly sharper! Don't get me wrong... the 2253's are OK, but, given a choice, scarf up some of the last 226BW's!!! You will not be sorry. Note that the 2253's no longer have the VESA mounting capability, and the tilt is so stiff that I remove the base to make tilt adjustments (for fear of cracking the case or screen).
On Price / Performance It Can't Be Beat [Posted on 2008-06-01]
I started buying Samsung products back when they released their first MGA-compatible monochrome monitor for the PC/XT. Oops! Dating myself here. It was a budget brand then, but the quality impressed me. Samsung has been my go-to brand for monitors ever since. Better performing than most "name brands" at a lower cost.
The 226BW is no exception. I was a little hesitant to replace my CRT for gaming, but this monitor is fast enough that I don't really miss it. Not to mention it takes up less space on my desk, and no radiation burns! The only regret you'll have when buying this is that it's not a 24-inch. This 22-inch monitor is still not quite wide enough to place two full-size documents side-by-side without overlap. If that's important to you I recommend you save up for the wider one. Just one minor complaint really... as others have pointed out, the shiny bezel scratches easily.
In case you were wondering, my Samsung MGA monitor still works 25 years later. Can't seem to come up with a use for it though!
Perfect out of the box [Posted on 2008-06-02]
I bought this monitor about 2 months ago from Amazon. From the moment I connected it to my computer, I have been impressed at the clarity and contrast of the monitor.
I do video editing on the monitor using HD video. The picture quality is amazing.
I have the monitor connected using the DVI cable to a Nvidia Quadro FX 560 graphics card. I have had no issues with color, response or anything.
I would highly recommend this monitor to anyone.
Broke after 4 months. [Posted on 2008-06-28]
This monitor broke after I had it for 4 months. I'd steer clear of it. Also, I never liked it when it did work. If you're sitting a few inches below looking straight at it, it would get really dark at top.
Excellent monitor [Posted on 2008-07-18]
I use this monitor for Photoshop and other graphic apps. The color seems very accurate, which is important. Samsung makes great products ansd you can't go wrong with this monitor.
