Product Description
Sage-like advice, when purchasing a computer monitor display, has always been "larger is better". That, of course, meant that if you had a conventional monitor, the size of the cabinet would occupy a considerable amount of work space. With LCD technology, this 19" screen monitor is less than 8 inches deep - with its tabletop stand. When compared to a CRT monitor, you'd need a CRT screen of 21 inches to match the image on this 19 inch flatpanel LCD. What about performance? This LCD screen delivers an 8 millisecond rated response time that translates as fast enough to display fast, action games with absolute realism. With a 700:1 contrast ratio and 300 cdm2 brightness rating, images are sharp, bright, and beautiful. This model goes one step further. Until recently, most computers came with Analog monitor connectors. The 930B has both analog and digital connectors to work with the old as well as new computers. And it's compatible to work with Windows PC and Macintosh models. This screen helps make computer use more pleasure than ever. This is a perfect opportunity for you. 160-degree viewing angle, horizontal and vertical Analog RGB and DVI digital inputs Picture enhancement technologies include MagicBright II, MagicColor and MagicTune Up to 1280x1024 resolution / Safe mode offers down-scaling to UXGA 0.294mm pixel pitch Windows Plug and Play DDC 2B compatible SyncMaster 930B is backed by a three-year parts and labor warranty, including the backlight. Toll-free, 24/7 support is also available for the life of the display Product Height 16.8 with stand (14 without) / Product Width 16.6 / Product Depth 7.9 with stand (2.4 without) / Unit Weight - 11.2 pounds with stand

I have just upgraded from a low budget17 in LCD from NEC/Mitsubishi. I upgraded for the bigger screen but wow! The picture quality and speed is nothin less than amazing. I felt it was a little pricey but the fellows at the store where I bought it said that for gaming, video, DVD movies and other things I do, this is a must. I am pleased to say that they where 100% correct. This monitor is more than I bargained for. Great response time 8ns and 700:1. seeing is believing, worth every dime. I am very pleased.
Great Monitor for Gaming

No Ghosting, extremely fast rate 8ms (almost unbelievable, but I am yet to experience a single ghosting incident while gaming or watching movies). Very good picture and very good design.

My only problem is that it is not made solid, and while punching your LCD screen should never be a habit, I still fear it will fall or break. That beings said, the base is very stable, and the chances of the LCD dropping off your desk is highly unlikely if even possible. Overall an excellent product well worth the price.
Very Impressive

I got this monitor to replace a 17inch Sony LCD. My first impression was wow. I did not think that the improvement would be so big, the color's seem more life like and simply look amazing. Once you work on a 19inch LCD you will never be able to go back to a smaller size. The picture on this Smasung is outstanding and in games it is simply beautiful. I have worked with 19inch LCD's where they were slow in response time, this is defffinatley not one of those. One thing i should point out is that this monitor does have a DVI port on it, however it does not come with a DVI cable, avg price of a DVI cable can be around $30-$100 which blew me away. I got a $30 cable at a computer store and i feel that it was well worth it.
Excellent monitor with great price and 3 yr warranty, highly recommended

I looked around at LCDs for about a week before deciding on this one. I wanted one for < $400 with good specifications and a 3 yr warranty. This Samsung fit the bill perfectly. I picked it up at my local BEST BUY for $ 350 after mail-in-rebates.

The setup took about 5 minutes and the picture quality is VERY GOOD, not to mention the 8ms (that's really fast for this price) response time. It has both digital and analog inputs, but only comes with an analog cable.As others have noted, the screen is very bright. But that's good news becuase you can lower the brightness level and hence expect the backlight to last longer. I also like the fact that the power supply is built-in. And,last but not the least it comes with a full 3 year warranty which means you DO NOT have to spend another $50 for additional warranty programs.

In my opinion, it is one of the best monitors available in the 19" LCD class.Overall I would highly recommend it.
No Need to Buy a More Expensive Monitor

I liked this monitor so much that I bought two. I've looked at more expensive models in my extensive due diligence on flat-panel monitors, and decided that this is the best 19" monitor, regardless of the price. The fact that many merchants offer price rebates on this monitor currently is a major plus. This is a work-horse, with a understated but functional and ergonomic design that gets you up and running with this new monitor in few minutes. I use the "Internet" preset setting, which works well under all light conditions, almost exclusively. As for complaints, I'm trying to nit-pick here, but cannot think of one right now, which is unusual for me. A great monitor and at a great price. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
