"I'm one of the unlucky ones who has the A panel..."

2 stars  | on by Coldmiser

Pros

Good design, colours are correct from the beginning imo

Cons

Lottery with two versions of the same model - "A" panels are inferior to "S" ones, A panel I bought has dithering, banding and some noticeable backlight problems

Summary

It's my fault really. I knew Samsung was selling two panels with the same model number and I decided to risk it. A panel is the bad one - if you can manage to open the box (only way who can know if it's the A or S)... Read full review

It's my fault really. I knew Samsung was selling two panels with the same model number and I decided to risk it. A panel is the bad one - if you can manage to open the box (only way who can know if it's the A or S)and see it's the A DO NOT BUY IT. 226BW was an excellent monitor when Samsung was selling only the S panel. I guess they got greedy and wanted to cut back costs or something...

"A" panel also has annoying noise problems with every video I've tried.

"Excellent purchase, color and picture clear and sharp."

5 stars  | on by asmajm

Pros

Performance, color, clarity, eased of use.

Cons

None that I have found after 5 years.

Summary

I am looking for a second monitor to set up along with the one I already have for work versatility. It is really nice to visualize multiple screens at at the same time. I am very happy with this monitor selection so I would like another.

"Excellent viewing, but it don't last!"

Pros

Sharp and clear visually...easy to operate.

Cons

Into the early part of my 3 year warranty, the monitor began to start up black! Clicking the on and off button brought up the image, but it flickered and fonts and objects were distorted. I'm sending it back for repair or replacement this week.

Summary

Love the monitor while it worked!
