Sync Master 204B 20.1"

byoaspaul Nov 15, 2008
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great for games, artwork and spreadsheets.
Cons One pixel line is dead from left to right and I never returned it.
Recommended it? Yes

I've got three of these on my desk right now and I'm pretty happy with them. I purchased two of them new and one used on E-bay. After just 2 months one of the newer ones lost an entire one pixel horizontal row.
With two others to look at I can live with it. If it were my primary monitor I would... Read full review »

beautiful but flaky

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros beautiful picture
Cons fails way too frequently ... poor quality control.
Recommended it? No

I use two 204Bs at work, liked them, and so bought 3 for home (wife's, son's, and own PC) about 2 years ago. Over that time I have had to send 4 back for exchange. Samsung gives (gave?) a 3 year warranty. This weekend my son's monitor digital video connection stopped working (but VGA still works)... Read full review »

Love this monitor

byCoz Feb 12, 2008
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent value, fantastic picture
Cons Wouldn't mind built in USB, speakers, or video inputs.
Recommended it? Yes

I waited and waited to replace my triple 19" monitor setup with flat panel displays. It wasn't that I couldn't find any monitors I liked, it was because I wasn't thrilled with the idea of spending over $1000 for new monitors.

Then came the "Black Friday" sale at Staples and a sale price... Read full review »

Pros Cheap. Fit GREAT
Cons not clear. Stat icy
Recommended it? No

I just bought this for my new LG phone and although it was straightforward to set up it was very stat icy and not clear even when close to the phone. Plus even though I had charged it for 2 hours as recommended it didn't even last 20 minutes.
Also it was no the simplest thing to figure out the... Read full review »

Pros GREAT Sound Quality, Good Battery life, Affordable and Comfortable
Cons None!
Recommended it? Yes

We have been using the 320 for about 6 months and can't find anything wrong. It has good battery life, excellent sound quality, even in noisy environments and on the other end, too. The charge time is comparable at under 2 hours. Comfortable, light, and AFFORDABLE!

Pros The monitor has a beautiful picture. I loved the monitor stand. It looks nice.
Cons - Shoddy quality control. - Software is annoying and poorly conceived.
Recommended it? No

I purchased this product via Newegg almost 5 months ago and It worked beautifully untill.... My 204B developed a line of dead pixels across the screen about two thirds of the way up. Needless to say, this was unacceptable. I contacted Samsung tech support and arranged an RMA. They will ship to a... Read full review »

Pros Size, sharpness, color quality, ease of operation, 5ms, PRICE
Cons Failed after less than two years.
Recommended it? Yes

With my aging eyes, and doing what I do as a graphic designer, it was time to upgrade from a 17" LCD to something larger. After some research, and finding out what's available locally, I decided on the Samsung 204B. My usual haunt, Best Buy was out of stock, but had an open box 204B for $279, so I... Read full review »

Excellent monitor with a couple of quirks

bydavebenham Jul 14, 2006
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros LARGE viewing area, very crisp image.
Cons Viewing angles. Pixel pitch a bit small.
Recommended it? Yes

I own a 930B, the Samsung 19 inch monitor and it has a awesome picture. So when it came time to buy a replacement for another 19 inch CRT, I decided to take the plunge and buy an even larger Samsung model.

Overall this monitor is crisp and clean, and the picture is vibrant. I had no dead... Read full review »

Beautiful big screen

bysashazur2 May 23, 2006
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great color quality, pivots to portrait mode, locked onto analog signal correctly first...
Cons Software adds non-optional Startup and tray icons that many users won't need.
Recommended it? Yes

I got this monitor as a gift and I am extremely pleased so far.

Industrial Design:
The monitor has very clean and simple attractive looks. The up/down adjustment is smooth (though I wish it would go just a bit lower, though when you try to pivot when it's low the corners will bump... Read full review »

After purchasing this black version, I encountered the silver version of the same monitor.

However, since they are identical (and I have since also used the silver... Read full review »

I'm not a huge fan of using LCDs for gaming, but with today's new faster panels, I wonder if they are ready for prime time gamers.

The first LCD display I owned was the Princeton LCD1910 19" LCD monitor. Even on the analog VGA connector, the display was crystal clear. However, I... Read full review »
