 Barely Big Enough @ 1360x768 pixels native resolution Apr 09, 2010
I really like this monitor, assembly issues aside. The contrast is excellent. The color/contrast controls are perfect. The monitor is definitely wide enough. The back light is even, except given certain conditions, when you push the brightness too high or low. However, despite my good experiences, I can not give it 5 stars, through the following details, which cause me not to 'love' it:
* Tends to be a bit short in height, with a display of only 768 pixels tall. I didn't know from the website that this was the case. I blame myself for not selecting what I wanted. What I found out is that a 19" regular aspect monitor seems much bigger than an 18.5" widescreen, but you can't do the side-by-side tricks that you can with the latter.
* There is no way to push it past the native resolution, to 1080p. So, I've gotten used to the lower screen size, which is barely tall enough to web browse. The medium-ish resolution makes it easy to read small text, but there is a lot of scrolling--more than normal. I just couldn't install all of my favorite browser toolbars, because I needed every bit of vertical space.
* Watching movies is good, but not superb. You kind of have to sit right in front of the monitor to see anything. But, it's widescreen, a plus.
* I have already considered getting a more upscale monitor, after 6 months of using this one, but I didn't want to waste this purchase. So I'm 'stuck' with it, until I can figure out who needs mine on the cheap.
In conclusion, I can definitely rely on the Samsung brand in the future and I'll get a more upscale model that has 5-star potential, from them, in the future.

 A newer version! Feb 14, 2010
After reading dozens of reviews on this site and others, as well as viewing the monitor in person in 3 different stores, I purchased this monitor this afternoon. First off, the Dynamic Contrast spec has been bumped up from 15K:1 to 50K:1, and it shows. Really great punch, yet very natural looking colors, text really pops off the screen. And no dead pixels (yay!).
Also, the monitor base now comes partially pre-assembled. The "egg-shaped" part and the stem or post is already attached - now all that's needed is to screw the actual base onto the stem/post, with an attached folding-key type thumbscrew - all done in less than 30 seconds. Not exactly the widest range of tilt is available, but sufficient.
One warning for those who might be visually comparing monitors in stores - first, request that the monitor being considered be taken off a slide-show or other demo-mode visual, just request to see the standard desktop. Check the text beneath the icons for sharpness, ghosting, color fringes, etc. Also, bear in mind that multi-monitor feeds (a whole string of displays showing the same thing) introduce a great deal of line loss, severely diminshing display sharpness and clarity. And second, at least with Windows 7, the Clear Type text adjustment can make a HUGE difference in text clarity. Be sure and run this adjustment upon installation of the new monitor.
After trying HP's 2009m and 2338h (the first was excellent but overpriced IMHO and the second exhibited horribly uneven backlight spill in the lower right area of the screen), Dell's IN1910N (yuck!) and Asus' VH232H (excellent, but too big for my desktop), at $100 (OD in-store sale from flyer), this one's the charm!
 Its ok with the price i bought it for Jan 31, 2010
Bought a used one and i pretty much what i got what i pay for. Decent monitor though...very sleek and looks just like my 32 inch TV.

Problems with assembly Jan 19, 2010
The monitor is fine once you are able to attach the base to the monitor. Both my husband and I struggled with the assembly and the misleading directions. Samsung customer service was useless. During the first call I was told they cannot stay on the phone to guide us through the process and we should refer to the directions on the disk that came with the unit. I reminded her that seeing the disk required the use of the monitor which was not yet functioning. During the second call they admitted they had no practical assembly experience - they had only the info available to the customers. Finally, our son, who is a genius, figured out a way that made much more sense than any of the company's suggestions. He popped the egg-shaped part of the base into the monitor and then assembled the two base parts. Whew!
