Samsung SyncMaster 2253BW 22-inch LCD Monitor Reviews
I had previously purchased a Samsung SyncMaster 2280HD LCD television and loved it. When I wanted to add a second monitor to my computer I looked at Samsung again. I use it both a monitor for my computer and a high-def TV. I highly recommend this monitor. The picture quality is bright and vibrant and it has an excellent response time. The 2253BW was what I bought. It is a sleek monitor with a nice gloss finish which matches my 2280HD.
I have no light coming through the top or the bottom, and I have no dead pixels that I can see. Today my power went out. So. This seems to have resolved itself, as I no longer see them. The monitor blinked steady. Great for multitasking, nothing takes up any space.
All in all, 2+ years, I've had 2 issues, both of which resolved themselves. Until today. Sounds like money well spent to me. I could see the screen enough to hunt google for troubleshooting but found nothing. One post I found mentioned the backlight may be dying, that the screen will often blink for a while then finally just go out. Just blink blink blink, in and out.
Since I encountered my first major issue today, I got lost in "troubleshooting" links trying to find a solution, found loads of reviews on this monitor, but none of them were long time owners as I am, so I thought I'd add a piece. I do not see any backlight bleeding, in fact, I've hunted for it on purpose trying to figure out exactly what that is. First let me say I've owned this SyncMaster 226bw since May of 2006, and I've had zero problems with it. I did once have an issue where I saw strange flickering type flecks, mainly on the borders of windows. So I unplugged everything, waited patiently for nearly 3 hours for the power to come back on, plugged everything back in, and powered up. So I quickly started searching how to go about replacing the backlight, when suddenly, it stopped. I love the expansive desktop area.
I do dislike the setting buttons, they are kind of awkward, but in the end thats only cause I'm too lazy to figure out what they do, and I've only touched them twice (once when I got it, and today). Not sure how long it went on for, few minutes I'm guessing, but its right back to perfect in my opinion. One major thing I should point out is that I never turn it off, since I never turn off my computer, I never go into standby, I do not use a screensaver of any kind. In 2+ years, its worked perfectly, constantly.
Our DVD player is a Samsung and so is our refrigerator. Samsung is a wonderful company that makes a number of products that all seem to excel above others. I have also used Samsung monitors for years now and the clarity and quality is fantastic; especially considering the price. My 60 inch DLP Hi-Def television is a Samsung. I love this monitor and would highly recommend it.
My specs: Quad core q9450 3.6 ghz, 9800gtx ssc, 4 gigs ram, vista ultimate 64. I have previously owned a 19"" viewsonic VX-927 @3ms, a 22"" dell @ 5ms, and a 24"" acer @ 6ms. Cons: I am 100% satisfied.the only problem I had was a short DVI cable, but who cares, I used an old one. Let me just say from a gamer's point of view, that this samsung LCD puts them ALL to shame. Other Thoughts: If you are a serious gamer, like me, and you are in the market for an LCD then DO NOT hesitate and buy this one. It is absolutely a delight to be able to see everything so sharply on the screen and to be able to make incredible shots due to your silky smooth screen. Pros: Extremely sharp picture, no annoying reflections from background light, absolutely no ghosting/input lag/tearing in video games (CS:S, BF2, DoD, Crysis to name a few), No dead pixels, Sexy design, 1 day shipping from Newegg :).and I love how it has the sticker on the top right corner that says 2 MS and 8000:1 contrast ratio.thats just bragging rights.
It works great as an extended monitor or in mirror mode. Reasonably priced as well. Thus I purchased the Samsung SyncMaster 2253BW 22" LCD Monitor and it is great. I highly recommend a Samsung monitor for ease of setup, operation and sharpness. The monitor has great contrast ratio, clarity and resolution. I had a Samsung SyncMaster 930B 19" LCD Monitor for my desk top Mac and wanted another monitor for my Intel MacBook so I could run Windows on a separate screen simultaneously with OS X on another.
