Great Monitor,
I recently purchased the Samsung B2230 to replace an old 19 inch Samsung monitor. I thought the older monitor looked great but this one is fantastic. The colors are more vibrant and it is a 16:9 aspect ratio compared to the older 16:10. This means that most widescreen movies no longer have the black bars on the top and bottom.
The controls are touch sensitive and took a while for me to get used to but are easy to get used to. The older model I had to reach underneath to hit the buttons and for the B2230 I have to use my finger on the labeled menu itself right below the Samsung logo. The monitor is gorgeous with its all black design with 1 blue light to show that its on. The monitor can reach full 1080p with a 1920 x 1080 native resolution. It does lack a HDMI input and only has a DVI and VGA input but for $170.00 this 21.5″ monitor is a steal I am very happy with this purchase.

|Great price, basic LCD monitor,
I bought this monitor to replace my failing Acer LCD monitor.
What I don’t like:
1) Glossy black bezel… why is everything glossy black nowadays?
2) No height adjustment.
3) Driver disk insists on using IE instead of Firefox… to install a driver?
What I like:
1) Ooo la la, nice price!
2) Easy to assemble and use.
3) Most important: *Gorgeous image quality*! The image quality is absolutely superb. I don’t know if I was just lucky or what, but I had no bad pixels. PLUS the colors are rich, and text is nice and clear.
4) If you don’t mind the glossy black, and the “no height adjustment possible”…. it’s a very nice looking monitor. Very stylish. One oval foot. It has one very discreet blue light in front that is dim and not annoying. Generally it is modern and modest looking.
5) SAMSUNG. They have a very high, very good reputation, both for quality and for customer support.
6) The screen itself is matte, and no-glare.
7) Has both DVI and VGA ~ports AND connectors~.
8) Energy-efficent
9) Lightweight (in a good way)
Over all, a very good value.
EDIT: Some other reviewers warned about using this monitor with Nvidia cards, but I have an Nvidia GTS 250, and had no problems or issues whatsoever.

|High Quality,
I bought this for my 80yo father as a gift – replacing his tiny 15″ monitor. It was a radical difference and he is very thankful for the extra room. He really likes the ability to have 2 windows open side-by-side with the ability to see them both at the same time. The picture is very crisp and clear, and the setup was a snap. I have an Acer in the same size, and the Samsung actually seemed a little sharper. Definitely recommend!
