"20" 1680*1024 Widescreen 6ms and Very Cheap Samsung 205BW this is very good upgrade from 17" CRT" on by hosseinadib
Pros: Very Good Qyality for Movies and Image Editing
Cons: Low Quality for Text
Summary: The Color Fidelity is perfect and response time is good enough but Text quality is very poor. I have ATI Radeon 7000 and Plug this LCD to DVI and I have 1680*1050 resolution but the text has some color shadow and is blure this will be worse when i'm using Analog input maybe this problem relate to my graphic card but i don't think that .
Updated
I replaced my VGA card with ATI Radeon 9250 and Geforce 5200 but my problem about text quality exist yet is there any solution or no ?Updated
Well ,the problem was not from VGA or Monitor but from windows i Canceled the Clear Type Effect from Display Settings and the more of problem become solved . -
"The fact that i got this monitor for $179 from Staples is SWEEEEET." on by mahi687
Pros: Everything
Cons: none that i notice
Summary: The fact that i got this monitor for $179 from Staples is SWEEEEET. But the 205BW cant be rotated to a verticle position although i dont this it will be bothersome! The overall built of this monitor is great and if you're not too picky the quality of the pictures displayed is quite sharp and colorful (that is after you manually fix the default settings which is a bit too bright IMHO). I highly recommend the 205BW not only for its price but also for its quality.

"Design Flaw" on by ugot2bkidng
Pros: Wide screen color display
Cons: LCD is too heavy for mediocre stand.
Summary: Could've been a great product if samsung had considered the weight of the LCD to its cheap mediocre stand. LCD droops forward due to its weight, thus making it difficult to view. Would not recommend.

"great value" on by bilcarter
Pros: nice even colors and great price
Cons: terrible monitor stand
Summary: I have two of these I use for a dual display system. They work excellent for work on one screen and a movie or TV on the other.
On one of them, however, the monitor stand is defective (I think) and does not allow for a full range of motion. Even the monitor with the "good" stand is somewhat limited. I replaced both stands with a single Ergotron dual monitor stand and I love it. Great monitors.
