"Took my breath away!"
Pros: Right out of the box, I plugged this monitor into my computer and turned it on. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the picture...it was incredible. Text was crystal clear and precise.
Cons: The only cons I can think of are that it is not height adjustable, and you have to purchase a DVI cable separately.
Summary: I started my 22 inch LCD monitor quest with the Samsung 225BW. The picture was ok, but the text was horrible. The stand it came on was extremely flimsy, and wobbled a great deal, with even the slightest bump of my desk. After using the Samsung for one day, I brought it back to BestBuy, and exchanged it for the Gateway. Without even installing the supplied color management software that came with the Gateway, the picture from the second I turned it on was simply incredible. Hardly any noticeable backlight bleeding, the colors are incredible crisp, and the text is laser sharp. I would very highly recommend this monitor to anyone in the market for a very reasonably priced 22 inch LCD monitor.
