Good monitor for the money Feb 11, 2010
I did not want a widescreen monitor since this is for work and widescreens take up too much space. I had purchased another Samsung monitor for my home so I knew it was a good one. I do NOT like the base that comes with it - makes the monitor tilt forward and there is no way to adjust it. I purchased an adjustable clamp style monitor arm and attached it (easily) to the back of the monitor and to my desk. Works great.
The monitor is a good size for general office work. The colors and text are crisp and clear. No dead pixels. Adjustment menu/controls take a little getting used too - very sensitive.
Overall, I think this is a good buy.

 Samsung 943n - It's hip to be square Nov 19, 2009
I've owned a Samsung 740N for 5 years with no trouble, so I decided to try this 19" 943N. Was it worth going from 17" to 19"? Yes. The 943N looks great, text is sharp, no ghosting on games (Grand Prix Legends, NOLF 1&2) even at less than the native resolution - I run this monitor at 1024 x 768 for Internet use with the monitor about 4 feet away. If you want to see more on a page vertically, without squinting or wearing glasses to read the text, a square monitor is the best way to go. Watching wide-screen videos puts black bars at the top and bottom, but the picture is still bigger than a 21" wide screen monitor would give, and they look fine, not HD, but good enough. And how often do you watch WS videos on your computer when you have a TV?
Out of the box, the monitor is way too bright - turned it down to 20%; didn't bother with the software, just pointed Windows XP Pro to the driver on the disk. The touch sensitive buttons on the front are very responsive, maybe too sensitive for some, but easy to get used to, and you only need to set it up once. The screen does tilt. but it's very tight to move, so people think it's not adjustable, but it is. Cool blue light ;-)
Overall, I recommend this monitor for users who value crisp text, more on the page vertically, rather than watching DVDs. I also use this monitor, with 16.7 million colors, for Photoshop and have found no banding in gradients like some cheaper LCDs. So far, I've had it running everyday, 8 to 12 hours a day, for a month, with no problems. It came with 1 stuck green pixel, only visible on a completely black screen, so not a big deal. Get an extra 3 months warranty from Samsung if you register online at their site within 30 days of purchase. Be sure to include the manufacture date as part of the serial number or the form won't recognize your monitor.
The only thing I wasn't happy about was that Amazon knocked $15 off the price, three days after I bought it, and they charged sales tax. What gives with that Amazon? Still a good buy, but wouldn't have bought it if they didn't offer the option to return it for full refund (unlike NewEgg, who will only offer exchange).

samsung 943n Nov 14, 2009
it was good to be able to purchase a standard screen monitor as i do not have the room for the new widescreen monitors (which are the only one you can purchase in stores.
this one is a good size for me and it fits very in the room available.

 Average moniter - when it works. Nov 11, 2009
I've had this monitor for about a year and a half now at work. It started off all fine, had no real issue with it apart from the fact when I'm working on photos the contrast and brightness do not seem to match any other monitor profile at all. The colour collaboration software also seems to conflict with Adobe Colour Profiles.
However a few days ago when I turned my computer on it stayed black (I have a second monitor set as the secondary display that started fine). After a bit of fiddling with cords, unplugging things a few times it suddenly came to life and worked fine the rest of the day. The next day was very similar, today however 20 minutes of fiddling about hasn't gotten it to turn on. After doing a bit of a search online it seems to be a very common problem with Samsung LCD displays. I wouldn't recommend buying this if you plan on using it for more than a year (or if you're serious about any design work).
good, square monitor Jul 01, 2009
Looks good, no problems yet. I wish it had more connection options. Hard to find a non-widescreen monitor these days, so I guess my parents should be happy.
