not a good monitor
I found this monitor purchase to be a terrible decision. This monitor was very disappointing, especially since Samsung typically makes quality monitors. I attached this to my Acer 15.6" LED monitor - got 3" more. The Acer screen is the same 1366x768, so the improvement had to come from color, contrast, and what not. After comparing them for a while, I can definitely say that the Acer blows away the Samsung overall. I have a recent Sam 46" led tv, love the screen, and thought the monitor would give similar results. If you have not experienced a similar situation as I have, with nothing to compare so closely to, you probably would like this monitor. HOWEVER, I also have another 18.5 Acer monitor attached to a 13" Acer laptop, both LED, and the monitor is a definite improvement. This monitor is virtually the same size as the Samsung and by the way blows away the Samsung. So, there again, it depends on your exposure. As a last shot, the stand on the Samsung completely refused to tighten all the way, allowing it to freely sway. This can get very distracting if you are even a somewhat hard/fast typer (I am). That was the last straw - I disconnected it and went back to the laptop display.
