Very Large, Very Accurate (in Black!)

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: It's brand new and in need of recognition from mainstream reviewers. However, I would bet it's the best NEW monitor out there today.
Review: After purchasing this black version, I encountered the silver version of the same monitor. At first, ePinions did not have the black version on their site, but now that they do, I will move the black version of my review here. However, since they...

Beautifully Displayed (and now in Silver!!)

Date of Review:  Feb 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: It's brand new and in need of recognition from mainstream reviewers. However, I would bet it's the best NEW monitor out there today.
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,...

Excellent if you get a good one

Date of Review:  Sep 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: See my "Bottom Line" at end of review
Review: 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...

Good monitor, great support!

Date of Review:  Aug 16, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good monitor for all around, and great support. Also, got a $50 mail in rebate that made this a sweet deal at the time.
Review: I bought this LCD monitor Sept. of 2006 and have been satisfied with it ever since. It comes with very useful and easy to use software that allows you to dial in the contrast and color settings to match your environment and preferences. The display...

Beautiful big screen

Date of Review:  May 23, 2006
The Bottom Line: Great display quality, easy to use. Useful pivot feature. Software works but could be better thought out.
Review: 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...

A beautiful picture. If it works

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2006
The Bottom Line: not approved: bad quality control outweighs the positives described by the other reviewers. The aggravation and waste of my time add up to a negative review
Review: 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...

Love this monitor

Date of Review:  Feb 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: Don't hesitate at all, buy these with confidence.
Review: 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...

Excellent monitor with a couple of quirks

Date of Review:  Jul 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you can live with the two issues I noted (I can easily deal with them), then it is an awesome unit.
Review: 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...

Outstanding Value

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2006
Review: This is a first rate LCD monitor: large display, great contrast, very sharp text display, and vivid colors. $500 at Best Buy.

I do a lot of test work, and this monitor is beautiful with MS Word, Excel, various programming IDEs. It's great...

Great product/NO rebate

Date of Review:  Nov 19, 2006
Review: I purchased this monitor based upon the specifications advertised and the reputation of the company. The monitor lives up to its specifications and performs very well.
This unit was purchased in July 2006 with a $50 rebate. All documentation...
