"I'm one of the unlucky ones who has the A panel..."
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)and see it's the A DO NOT BUY IT. 2... read more >>

Pros: Nice design, good size, good price.
Cons: Got the "A" version. Yes, this is bad.
Summary: I got this monitor at a good price but with no return possible. I'm kicking myself now because I didn't do enough research ahead of time. Had I known about the A vs S problems I would not have risked it. I use this monitor for graphic design.

"Excelent quality on my 226BW "C" panel. Bright and accurate colours."
Pros: Bright and crisp with accurate colours. Easy and quick menu.
Cons: Height adjustment would have been nice but not necessity.
Summary: After looking at several 22" monitors, I found the Samsung 226BW to be the standout. It is bright and the colours are beautiful. I had to do some minor adjustments and found the "Custom" mode with the "MagicColor" turned off looked best for me. I ... read more >>

"The monitor is average and their customer service has to be the worst in the world, literally"
Pros: None that I can think of.
Cons: Viewing angles terrible. Colors change laterally with head and or eye orientation. In my opinion their service is wretched. No ergonomics at all. I have books under the monitor to raise it.
Summary: If you ever need service, forget it. I purchased a defective P970 monitor last year. Samsung replaced it with a "refurbished" P971. This died in six months and they replaced it with a defective "refurbished" 226BW showing a halo at the bottom of ... read more >>
