"Samsung is going downhill"
2.5 starson by Spuddy0108Pros: 16/9
Low power consumptionCons: Light bleeding
No tilt
dodgy OSD buttons
No DVISummary: I thought i'd upgrade my monitor from a Samsung Syncmaster 22" 16/10, to this 23" 16/9 monitor. Infact, i downgraded my monitor with this product. First of all there is no way to tilt the monitor even though it says on their website that it supports tilt, which it does not. The monitor is tilted a few degrees by default which is another thing i don't like because i prefer it to be flat but i can't change it.
Secondly, the light bleeding from the bottom of the screen is just terrible. I tried to adjust it as much as possible by fiddling with the brightness, contrast and gamma but there is no way to get it right. Either light bleeds from the bottom or the top is too dark. For a LED monitor, this is unacceptable.
The touch buttons on the monitor are a pain to use. They often dont work. I know one thing for sure, my next monitor will not be from Samsung.

The monitor tilts, but Samsung failed to provide any instructions specifying it does. The quality of the image is horrible. Using it at it max resolution for Word and Excel, the letters and else were just blurry, not sharp as others monitors here at work. After losing more than 1 hour tweaking and adjusting the settings I gave up. I just used the monitor for one day and returned it after doing research and reading the customer reviews at various sites. It has a huge problem with light bleeding from the bottom of the screen.

I couldn't agree more!!! I bought the SyncMaster S24B300. and it hurts my eyes so bad. light bleed from the bottom is way to strong on the ayes. the menu is crap. not working. I have it for a week now and it is going back. I never bought and will never buy Samsung again. I had bad experience with them long time ago but I thought I'll give them a try again...big mistake!read my review on Amazon. and I also tried the costumer service...another joke!
also, it came with a CD that doesn't work with windows8... -
Hey, I thought the monitor didn't tilt either but it's actually just really really really stiff. Keep trying to tilt it and it will eventually work. I know that sounds bad but i'm not kidding! I'm so sick of this monitor, it's such a strain on the eyes because of the bad refresh rate.
