Samsung 226BW (Black) LCD Monitor Review Summary

Samsung is a late comer to the computer display ball but they offer a suite of monitors that can dance with the big names. One of those units is the Samsung 226BW 22” LCD Monitor. Our community of reviewers has nothing but high praise for this 22” wide-screen darling of a display, with one reviewer proclaiming “I think I may have reached the pinnacle of monitors with this 22" behemoth LCD,” while another stated that “it is an excellent value for the price, and offers several features that aren't found very often until you hit a higher price point.” Samsung equipped the 226BW Wide Screen LCD with both digital and analog (DVI/VGA) connectivity, and the display has a maximum resolution of 1,680 x 1,050 pixels, as well as a 160 degree viewing area. Our reviewers highly recommend this (very) affordable, 22” wide-screen display.

An Enormously Huge, Brilliant and Clear Monitor

When purchasing my computer, I decided against buying a package with an included monitor because I'm exceptionally picky about my monitors. After my computer arrived however, I noticed how startlingly inexpensive new flat panel monitors were, so I decided to purchase a widescreen monitor for my computer. I chose the Samsung SyncMaster 226BW 22" widescreen flat panel monitor because it was reasonably priced at just $319 (or $299 after $20 mail in rebate) and because review after review noted its clarity, its high contrast ratio, and the quality of the product. I had a regular aspect Samsung… read full review »

I purchased a computer package from HP, which came with a 17" monitor. Originally I thought to upgrade to a 19", however noticed the reasonable price of this 22" monitor. — I tend to have a lot of windows open, often comparing 2 screens side by side. This monitor allows this easily. It has a very good clarity and resolution, and very natural colors. Pictures look excellent. — I am traditionally a laptop user since I do not like big bulky equipment. The flat panel allows me to have my computer set up on a small corner, without sacrificing space. … read full review »

I chose this monitor for my DH, who is a big gaming geek, after doing a lot of research. To keep a long review short, it is an excellent value for the price, and offers several features that aren't found very often until you hit a higher price point. DH is very happy with it, and although I'm not a big tech geek, he is to the point that he built his last 3 computers, and won't keep one for more than 2… read full review »

Not as crappy as you would think

The Samsung monitor is a good monitor for a pretty decent price. Not a piece of crap like others are. Good contrast, good quality, good clarity. — I'd recommended this monitor to anyone using a single monitor setup, because individually each panel is great and better with the right calibration. Although if you plan on purchasing 2, just hope that you receive two of the SAME panel, and that one panel is not defective so that you'll need a random replacement. So hopefully if you order two, they'll grab them from the same batch, and they'll both be in working order. — The… read full review »
