Advantages: Fast refresh rate, 720p definition, v. reliable, 2 inputs w/ source button

Disadvantages: Not full HD (1080p)

I've owned the Samsung 226BW since it was first launced, and can safely say it's the best monitor i've owned to date.

It has a super fast refresh rate of 2ms meaning you get a very good picture quality and no 'lag' whilst using the computer - it makes viewing videos particularly crisp!

The monitor hosts both a VGA and DVI input, meaning you can plug two devices into it and switch between the two by merely pressing the 'source' button on the front of the monitor. I have my PC and my Xbox 360 connected up and it is an excellent set up being able to switch between the two.

The monitor has 720p/1080i high definition (HD) and provides stunning graphics, it does not however support 1080p high def (which is often known as 'full HD'), this is why I have only rated it 'good' for picture quality, though it is often said you cannot tell the difference between 1080p and 720p on monitors of below 32 inchs.

At £139.99 you would have to search far and wide to find a product of higher quality - very reccommended!

Summary: Stunning monitor, better than almost anything at this price!
