This review is from: SAMSUNG S24A450BW-1 Black 24" 5ms Height& Pivot Adjustable Widescreen LED Monitor 250 cd/m2 1000:1
Pros:
Great picture quality; built-in viewing angle compensator options mitigate a lot of the disadvantages of LCD screens over the costlier and less efficient plasma tech; screen response tests out as advertised: more than fast enough for any video or game viewable by a human; panel itself is very strongly built without being too heavy. 16:10 resolutions also a huge plus. 16:9 just does not get the job done. Also passed all pixel tests, and continues to three months of near constant use later.
Cons:
Can't use viewing angle compensators at the same time as picture adjustment (sharpness, contrast, and color, but brightness still works). Software post-processing is required to do both. Stand is not the toughest construction and wobbles if even a sturdy table is bumped.
Overall Review:
If the stand were just a bit beefier, or the picture controls could be used with the angle controls, I could excuse either one. I would knock off an egg for that, but as far as I've seen no other manufacturer does it any better, making this the best 16:10 LCD monitor available. There are a few things I miss about the old plasma tech, such as viewing angle, but the response time and energy efficiency of them was terrible, making a good LCD a worthwhile trade-off.
