"A fantastic, sleek display with a few minor annoyances,.."
Pros: Amazing color and contrast, beautiful and bright, ability to edit RGB values for color calibration, ability to adjust gamma settings, glossy black chassis looks professional and cool, price.
Cons: Vista drivers make Windows Photo Gallery become tinted (do not install driver until Samsung updates it), awkward monitor buttons (bottom of chassis), lack of height adjustment,
Summary: NOTE FOR VISTA USERS: The monitor software and calibration settings work just fine without the monitor drivers. I uninstalled my monitor drivers and my display is spectacular.
If you can ignore the minor annoyances and focus on the positives, this monitor will blow you away. The 22" screen is fantastic for most applications and the 2ms response time and 3000:1 contrast ratio is great for gamers and photographers/graphic editors. I love the bright display, deep, rich colors and the sleekness of the design. The glossy black looks professional and matches my computer case perfectly.
In conclusion, it can be very difficult to choose a monitor these days, with all the brands and types out there. I chose the Samsung Syncmaster 2232GW. And I do not regret that decision. I love it, and I think you will too.
