Advantages: High spec, looks great, not too expensive

Disadvantages: Not adjustable stand, awkward power button location

When looking at monitors for high performance computing such as gaming and video editing, you cant get much better than this offering from samsung.

I have two of these in a dual monitor setup at work and i was so impressed that i bought one for my home pc as well!

It is not the biggest you can get, but 20" is more than enough and when it looks as beautiful as this you wont even notice. The contrast ratio is fantastic, making for bright and vibrant colours. The low 2ms responce rate means that i have never experienced any ghosting problems.

There are only two small downsides to this screen. The first is that the stand is not adjustable. I have to stand it on 2 thick books on my home desk to get it at a comfortable hight to use. The second is that the controls such as power are awkardly positioned under the bottom of the screen behind a plastic shield making it tricky to press them

Summary: A great value monitor that blows its competitors out of the water with its high end specifications
