Pros: I usually don't review the stuff I buy, but because this monitor is outstanding I had to write one.
This review is coming from an anti LCD person, I have been using CRT monitors for my PC for over 12 years (I also own plasma TV), my last monitor was 19" Samsung SyncMaster that this monitor replaced, I had to make the move.
Out of the box, packaging is very good, the monitor looks and feels VERY high quality.
Pros: 1-NO noticeable lagging or blurring in fast motion, as I said this is coming from a heavy gamer that have been using CRT monitors for the past 12 years .
2-NO back light bleeding, it almost doesn't exist (I had a total black background on the monitor with the lights off and I couldn't notice any back light bleeding, the back light is uniform through the whole monitor.
3-Very good contrast ratio, of coursing no match for my plasma TV but good enough.
4-Eye burning brightness, I had to set the brightness to 30 from 100(default) to not to burn my eyes.
5-Ma
Cons: Only con I have is inaccurate colors, but this is known for any TFT monitor, and I am not a graphic designer and not looking to buy a professional monitor so this wasn't a a huge concern to me.
Just make sure to set the color tone to warm and then increase the blue tone to about 30, this will give you the best possible color output in my opinion.
Other Thoughts: I had to make the move to bigger monitor from my 5 years old 19" CRT, I am glad I waited long enough till LCDs finally became good enough for the switch, and I couldn't be happier, the monitor is almost flawless. I got it for the holiday special price and I can't ask for a better deal.
I just need to upgrade my 8800GTX to Radeon HD 5850 and I will be back to gaming again but now at full HD 1920x1080 :)

Pros: Fantastic monitor! I chose those monitor because of its brightness, contrast, and value. I am not disappointed in any. I quite literally have to put this thing on 50% brightness because its just too bright otherwise.. fantastic! Blacks are black and colors are vivid. No dead pixels.
Cons: Samsung light-touch buttons on the front are annoying to me, I would have preferred physical buttons.
