SAMSUNG B300 Series S22B300B Black 21.5" 5ms GTG Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 Mega Infinity DCR (1000:1)

Pros: Great Picture, non bulky design, viewing angles are nice to have for different games.

Cons: No DVI cable.

Other Thoughts: The only thing that has drove me crazy for the past 5months since I got my second one of these is their inability to line up corner to corner on my desk. I've tried removing the monitor from its base and putting it together again multiple times but it makes no difference. My monitors sit with the top corners touching and about a half inch gap at the bottom corners. Obviously more of a personal annoyance and doesn't affect the quality in any way but it still drives me absolutely crazy.

Pros: Very bright, great color, very sharp

Cons: No DVI cable in the box. A lot of other brands bundle DVI cables in the box. What's wrong with Samsung? Viewsonic stiffs us on cables too! Newegg's though police won't let me say exactly what I think about this, so I had to delete it before posting.

Other Thoughts: I bought this monitor to connect my MacBook Pro to when I'm in the office. It has worked well for that. I was really annoyed when I opened the box, and there was no DVI cable. I guess I should have read the product description better before I made my purchase. The on screen menu is a pain to work with. We can't blame Samsung for this completely since just about every other display on the market is like this. I guess if you want better controls, get an Apple display :) You you're looking for a great display, and you don't need anything really large, this will work great for you. Samsung makes great displays even if they are lacking in easy to use controls, and they refuse to package a DVI cable with a DVI monitor.

Pros: LED Display
Sleek design

Cons: Fuzzy horizontal lines that move vertically up and down on the screen at times.

Other Thoughts: This is my biggest gripe with this purchase so far! I've had this monitor around 2-3 months now and ever since I took it out of the box, it has decided randomly when it would give a clear picture and when it would showcase fuzzy lines horizontally whilst moving vertically in a flowing stream from top to bottom.

I have tried everything to clear this issue up, readjust Windows OS settings, different monitor configurations, even went so far as to use different cables and different power outlets. The longest duration of clarity I would say was about a month straight; as I type this, it has since started up with producing a fuzzy picture again.

Overall the monitor is 5 stars when it chooses to show a clear picture, 2 stars when it doesn't. I give it an average of 3 stars overall. Unless if the other purchasers/reviewers of this product know something I don't and can offer any tips, I would suggest purchasing a different monitor, or at the very least purchase the extended warranty plan through Newegg----which I opted out of and now regret.
