Pleased with my purchase July 14, 2008
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. Samsung is a great brand that gives value for the money. For the record, I checked several authoritative sources of recommendations before I placed my order.
 SyncMaster 245BW Widescreen July 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Pros: Big lineup of positive goodies.
1. Very flexible on Vista once the driver has been loaded (highly needed in order to view in high resolutions).
2. Video is crisp, clean, and clear (especially for some of the gaming that I do on this machine).
3. 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.
4. The stand base has pivot footing so that you can turn the monitor. Riser and the north/south tilting is smooth.
5. Good for DVD movies (especially in widescreen mode).
6. Video response is prestine!
7. 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:
1. For those who want to tiltscreen (clock/counterclockwise) this particular item does not offer it.
Other: I actually have a dual monitor setup on this machine both running at max resolution. 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".
Systems Used:
1. Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit, ATI 2600 XT via DVI, 8gig RAM
2. Vista Home Prem SP1 32-bit, Intel mobile 945 video card via VGA, 2GIG ram).
 Will not fit most Ergotron mounts, including 45-179-195 July 12, 2008
I bought this monitor and the Ergotron 45-179-195 LX Desk Mount LCD Arm from another online vendor. 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. 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). The monitor, however, has a hole spacing of 200 x 100 mm (VESA MIS-E). Ergotron makes an adapter plate, but it costs $50 or more through online vendors I checked. I opted to mount an older Samsung 243T I had on the Ergotron stand, then use the new 245BW monitor on its own stand. One more gotcha: there's a hidden screw that must be removed before the monitor will pivot to the portrait position. You must remove the stand attachment from the back of the monitor to access this screw.
I like the monitor fairly well--I have noticed the non-uniform screen brightness problem other reviewers have described, but for everyday use, it's quite serviceable. The stand is better than the stand on my original 243T--much easier to adjust the height, and it pivots as well.
 Failed to recognize 1920x1200 resolution June 17, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
The picture was very nice, and avoided the over-saturation problems many monitors have. But the monitor refused to go higher than 1680x1050 resolution. The configuration information in the monitor was burned wrong, with data from the 22" monitor. This is a fairly rare problem but one a number of people have reported on the Internet. 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.
Samsung 24" ldc Monitor May 29, 2008
Great product. Color is outstanding. I run two screens and side-by-side the 22" monitor can't hold a candle to this one. Standard installation. No speakers unless you order additional add-on but my separate speakers do the job.
