Samsung Syncmaster 2232BW

The Samsung SyncMaster 2232BW is the latest in Samsung's TFT monitors range and looks great. The monitor has a smooth design to it and beautiful curves which isn't common with TFT's. Samsung have made the design similar to there HD LCD TV's which is a step in the right direction for sure. Setting up the monitor wasn't as simple as I thought it would be. I was a bit surprised that the stand didn't immediately click into the rubber slot of the actual monitor. It took some encouragement to get it to click into place. After I got that out of the way I powered the monitor and inserted the software provided into the PC and simply followed the instruction wizard, ...  Read the complete review

I paid £159 for this 22" widescreen monitor from Samsung. The 2232BW looks absolutely superb in its glossy black finish. It really looks like one of their bigger LCD televisions (which I also own), so buying one for my computer was an easy choice to make. The resolution of 1680 x 1050 is ideal, as it matches my iMac display, which this monitor sits next to. The brightness is 300cd/m, you can get higher, but this is OK. 320-340 is what I call paper white, so this is a little off-white, but plenty bright enough. The contrast of 1000:1 is also pretty good. When I watch the occasional movie you can see that blacks and very deep whilst still retaining some ...  Read the complete review

Introduction I bought the Samsung Syncmaster 2232BW just over a year ago now. I had recently upgraded my PC and felt I deserved a top quality LCD widescreen monitor to complete the package. A friend of mine actually recommended the monitor to me (even though he hadn't got one himself, he had only ever heard good things about it) so i took the plunge and ordered one. I had been warned that in transit LCD monitors can be damaged and arrive with 'dead' pixels but the monitor arrived in tip-top condition. As i had ordered the monitor over the internet this was the first time I had seen it 'in the flesh' - and I was very impressed. The slick ...  Read the complete review

This is quite simply one of the best monitors i have ever had the pleasure of being able to use. Before you even turn the screen on its stunning just to look at and would complement any room it is placed into. Once its turned on its perfect for pretty much any tast you can think of doing on a computer. It will go up to 1680 x 1050 resolution and is very high quality, especially if you use the DVI socket rather than the VGA, although it does come with both. The only small critisism is that the stand was a little fiddly to put toegther and took a bit of force to assemble, which isnt great because no one wants to break a brand new monitor because of silly stand! After this ...  Read the complete review

This is a very good computer monitor in my opinion. I originally bought this to go with a new DELL computer as I wanted to use it as a television in my back room. I have not been disappointed with my purchase. The Monitor itself has a 22 inch screen which doesn't suffer from any glare whatsoever even when placed near the window. The picture is crisp and never seems to lag with its exceptionally fast response time. It makes the movies I watch look amazing. It is styled in the classic Samsung mould and looks a bit like a shiny black pebble with its sexy curved corners. This is simply a computer monitor. If I had to renew it I would ...  Read the complete review
