Very Awesome Monitor
Pros: I purchased this monitor primarily as a computer display and to play my 360 and ps3. In these regards, this monitor has far exceeded my expectations! The colors are vibrant and movies look amazing. I typed up a paper and the text is crisp and easy to read. For gaming I have a 360, ps3 and ps2 hooked up through the component inputs. I played Gears 2, COD4 and MGS4 extensively and I'm happy to see that there's no noticeable ghosting or artifacts. I havn't used the TV tuner much, but it did pick up my local channels and HD looks GREAT! I'm not one to call electronics beautiful, but this monitor is definately sleek. I have two bright lights in my room and I havn't noticed any annoying reflections from the bezel so that's a plus. Finally, there were no dead pixels so good stuff! Overall, going from my 17inch Viewsonic, this monitor is a dream come true.
Cons: Like other reviewers have said, the stand doesn't click in and the monitor can wobble if you touch it, however, this hasn't really caused me any problems. As a TV this monitor is superb, but its really a shame it doesn't have any VESA mounts out of the box (you CAN get a VESA mount bracket for this monitor though, look below!). The built-in speakers are a little on the weak side, but I have the monitor hooked up to my own speakers so it doesn't matter much.
Overall Review: Newegg's shipping is awesome just like always! A lot of the reviews say that there's no way to VESA mount this monitor, but that is false! Samsung makes a wall mount bracket for these although it's not listed on the site. Look for part number WMB2400T. I don't have this myself but according to other people, it slides in where the stand usually is and works very well.
