"UNDERRATED BY CNET DO NOT BELIEVE THEM"
Pros: Gorgeous monitor/ screen, excellent for gaming, professional photoshop, etc.. Accurate colors! no dead pixels, wonderful monitor buttons
Cons: no vesa mount capability(i dontmind us neither i nor anyone i know uses a vesa mount), found out that the dvi port does not support HDCP.
Summary: do not listen to cnet reviews. the video is so biased. i have a little desk on wheels and a huge cpu that i always bump with my knees under the table as well, and i have still yet to see my monitor wobble. there was a recent earthquake in LA county in California and my monitor barely shook. LIEs i tell you. i was mad ecause i almost didnt by this monitor because of such lies. also, the colors are very accurate in DVI. VGA is worthless unless i need to watch hd movies which i simply just switch inputs to do so. gaming is cool but at such a high reolution you'll need a video card to handle high settings on high end graphic games. overall picture quality is the best i've ever seen on dvi but is average with the vga input. dvi is the way to go. also the screen doesnt support 1080i or 720p but believe me , watching hd on this baby is practically worth charging an admission ticket. dust cloth is handy, the glass perimiter is stunning, color is VERYYY accurate unlike cnet review says. but im guessing they tested it on VGA. but you won't get much using a VGA output for a 300 dollar monitor. if you do some research VGA is old school. get with the program and stop hating. id like to sa that i almost didnt buy this product cus of the reviews by i did and those complaints are rubbish

I've just bought the monitor Syncmaster T220 to have a smoother reading as I read too much on the screen. The thing is that I just can't find the best configuration for that. Could you kindly give me an idea of brightness, colors and all the best settings for a smooth reading and also for seeing pictures, navigate on the web... I would really appreciate that. And I also can't select digital in the dig/analog option. Is there a possible problem with the cable? I mean, the image os not so sharp, not good. I really feel it could be much better.Thank you.

Just bought one for use on my older Compaq XP D/T. Currently connected thru existing analog card. How much is a DVI card and what will be the benefits to upgrade to the DVI?

Hi rooneylegend88! You mentioned that the DVI doesn't support HDCP. By this, are you saying that i cant watch HD contents with this monitor? Strangely, Samsung website state that this T220 is HDCP compliant.

Yeah, this is one of the best monitors in the 22 inch segment. CNET gave me a surprise when I read their review. Please CNET, don't underrate this kind of products. I hope I might buy one of these babies very soon.
