Samsung SyncMaster 245BW 24" LCD Monitor Reviews
Primarily, I bought this widescreen monitor in order to be able to watch European DVDs, and I'm very pleased with its performance for that and the other more utilitarian reasons for such a purchase. For the record, I checked several authoritative sources of recommendations before I placed my order. Samsung is a great brand that gives value for the money.
3. 1. 2. 1. Vista Home Prem SP1 32-bit, Intel mobile 945 video card via VGA, 2GIG ram). Riser and the north/south tilting is smooth.
Pros: Big lineup of positive goodies. Other: I actually have a dual monitor setup on this machine both running at max resolution. Systems Used:. 5. Good for DVD movies (especially in widescreen mode).
1. Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit, ATI 2600 XT via DVI, 8gig RAM. For those who want to tiltscreen (clock/counterclockwise) this particular item does not offer it. Video friendly for all games based off of the Unreal engine. Cons: I'm not making complaints on this part, I would just point this out:. 4. 2.
Very flexible on Vista once the driver has been loaded (highly needed in order to view in high resolutions). The stand base has pivot footing so that you can turn the monitor. Video is crisp, clean, and clear (especially for some of the gaming that I do on this machine). Runs very fluid for the games and the Vista Aero feature.
Ran Winamp (v5.50) fullscreen visualizations (MilkDrop v2.0d and AVS v2.81d) with very little to no "video chop". 6. Has soft power-off (aka Standby) and a physical power switch on the back which is handy for when you have to unplug due to a severe storm.
Video response is prestine. 7.
I bought this monitor and the Ergotron 45-179-195 LX Desk Mount LCD Arm from another online vendor. The stand is better than the stand on my original 243Tmuch easier to adjust the height, and it pivots as well. I opted to mount an older Samsung 243T I had on the Ergotron stand, then use the new 245BW monitor on its own stand. The monitor, however, has a hole spacing of 200 x 100 mm (VESA MIS-E). The Ergotron arm has 75 x 75 mm hole spacing (VESA MIS-D 75), and comes with a 100 x 100 mm adapter (VESA MIS-D 100).
You must remove the stand attachment from the back of the monitor to access this screw. I like the monitor fairly wellI have noticed the non-uniform screen brightness problem other reviewers have described, but for everyday use, it's quite serviceable. When I saw that Amazon offered these as a "Better Together" deal (as of this writing on July 12, 2008), I thought I'd better warn Amazonians that you cannot mount this monitor (Samsung 245BW) on the Ergotron 45-179-195 Arm. One more gotcha: there's a hidden screw that must be removed before the monitor will pivot to the portrait position. Ergotron makes an adapter plate, but it costs $50 or more through online vendors I checked.
The picture was very nice, and avoided the over-saturation problems many monitors have. The configuration information in the monitor was burned wrong, with data from the 22" monitor. But the monitor refused to go higher than 1680x1050 resolution. Of course, the Internet was far more helpful than Samsung customer service, which insisted the graphics card was at fault, despite the fact every other monitor I have tried since has worked at 1920x1200. This is a fairly rare problem but one a number of people have reported on the Internet.
Great product. Standard installation. Color is outstanding. No speakers unless you order additional add-on but my separate speakers do the job. I run two screens and side-by-side the 22" monitor can't hold a candle to this one.
