Samsung sent me one of these as a swap for my very nice 214T, which had developed a skipped line. I thought I was getting a great exchange, since the 214T is a conventional 21″ whereas the 245BW is widescreen.

What I should have paid attention to is the viewing angle. Samsung’s better monitors have a viewing angle of 178 degrees and the cheaper models, like the 245BW, 160 degrees. I don’t know how they measure this. The problem with this monitor (and there are numerous posts to this effect) is that the type of cheap LCD they use in the 245BW results in uniform screen brightness of…zero.

In other words, looking at a solid block of gray (or any color, for that matter) with your head absolutely still, the gray is gets darker towards the top and the sides. If you tip your head, even 1/2 inch, the apparent brightness changes dramatically. So, tip your head down, 1/2 inch, the bottom gets much brighter, the top, much darker. Move your head up slightly and the reverse happens.

If you’re doing anything where you need an idea of how the output will look, you have to tilt …

For the price, this monitor is fantastic. It lacks extra inputs like an HDMI input, USB ports, or any kind of built in speakers or media card readers. Since I wasnt looking for any of those extras I didn’t mind. The DVI port is HDCP complient so you will be able to watch protected movies well into the future over DVI. Of course it also has an Analog connection.

As far as picture quality I can’t complain. I knew going in it has a TN panel which is at the bottom of the Panel Food Chain. It offers fast response time so its great for gaming and movies. The downside to a TN panel is the limited viewing angles. At first I thought, well who looks at their screen from a 170 angle?? Where this mostly comes into play is when you view the screen from a distance and are seated a bit below the screen. The panel will appear darker at the top then at the bottom. Also, depending how you sit or move your head, the screen can again to appear lighter or darker in areas. To me, it wasnt that bad, but I wouldnt recommend this …

Samsung is not on my Christmas list!

RMA support and repair of existing Monitors is 1/2 star and attempts to escalate were denied.

Overall support is poor at best. I decided to give ASUS VE248H – 24″ a chance making Sansung’s
lack of support a non issue.

We have had this monitor up and running in our home for the last 3 years, and it’s still awesome!

I had this monitor 6 months and it went dead. I called Samsung and they said no problem it is within my 3 year warranty they will send a replacement. Nearly a month later, I still don’t have one. I have been getting the total run around from Samsung. They keep telling me they are backlogged, just what I want to hear when being without the use of my computer for a month. I have called numerous times and they promised a supervisor would call me back each time, but none ever does. I have never seen customer service this bad, the monitor was great when it worked, but after this experience, I will never buy another Samsung product

When my daughter broke her laptop screen, I contacted the store where it was purchased. They wanted $375 to do the repairs while a new laptop would cost just a bit more. So I searched on line and found this screen as an alterative. I did need the assistance of a knowledgeble sibling to do the actual installation since I am not saavy with this sort of thing. But it only took him about an hour to successfully replace the screen. His comment was that it wasn’t difficult at all. And for so much less than I would have had to pay at the retail store for service, I was thrilled!

The replacement screen is working just as well as the
original. I hope it lasts longer then the one that came with the computer. That one crack 10 months after after purchase. It wasn’t ccovered under the warranty. The HP warranty customer service person quoted me $350 to repair it.
I was able to repair it myself for about $ 65.00 It was a little difficult at first but just follow the directions on line.
Make sure you order the matte or gloss screen. I order the matte but receivrd the gloss and I am ok with that. I’m just glad it works. Here is hoping for many years of service.

This was the second time ordering this product from the same company. I bought one in January and my son’s broke it on my daughter’s computer a month after installing it. I ordered it a second time because I had such great service the first time and it works PERFECTLY this time as well! Thanks for making such a quality product I can buy and install myself to save our family some money! HP G62 340US LAPTOP LCD SCREEN 15.6 WXGA HD LED DIODE (SUBSTITUTE REPLACEMENT LCD SCREEN ONLY.

Nice screen, great price! Very easy to replace. Found how to replace on you tube where I did NOT have to take base apart. Only took the top apart. Never done before, took 25 minutes because was scared of goofing up. Actually easy

We ordered this replacement screen after our daughter broke hers on her laptop. Even with the warranty we purchased, we were still going to be charged over 400.00 to replace it where we bought it. We ordered this screen and after a brief You-tube video tutorial, screen was installed and all is working great! All for less than 75.00! Couldn’t be happier!

The monitor is great. When I unpacked it, it seemed smaller than I anticipated but on my desk it’s just the right size. Any larger would have been too much.

Be careful if you order this from Amazon.com as the supplier. They had it advertised as being in stock but after a month of waiting for a shipping date, it clearly wasn’t. After they finally marked it as being out of stock, they lowered the price by about fifty dollars. At the same time, they offered the identical monitor, under a different ID (ASIN) number as being in stock for a higher price. They then cancelled my order with the lower price, since it had not yet been charged to my credit card.

I complained in a chat, had it escalated, and the refused to acknowledge their error. They said it must be two different monitors because their ASIN code was different, yet could not point out a single difference. In fact, they made up stuff (3 times). It was outrageous. Finally, after I said I would report them to my state’s attorney general, they offered me a $40 credit without admitting they were wrong. Sleazy experience overall.

If I had to rate this monitor beyond having defects, it would no doubt be a 5. The color, clarity, responsiveness, and 1920×1200 are fantastic. The stand and the rotating options are super.

The problem though is the total lack of quality control on Asus brand monitors. This one, the Asus PA246, and the current larger sized monitor I’m typing on at the moment (the Asus VG278H) are both are B quality panels at the best instead of being A+ as they’re stated to be.

Back to this monitor and its defects. 5 stuck pixels that could not be unstuck right in the middle of the screen. Right at that point, it should not have gone to Asus, and if Asus knew it had 5 dead pixels it should not have been sold at full price. BUT… that’s just the start. It also has dead pixels that don’t light up, AND enormous light bleed off the left side. This light bleed is so bad it looks like a hidden florescent light is vertically oriented behind the panel lighting it all up. Anything that has darkness in it is affected. Space games, RPG’s like Star Wars or Legends of …

I have two of these. When I got the first one I thought it was awesome for the money. I just set it to SRGB mode and forgot about it. It was supposed to have been calibrated at the factory so I thought I would be fine until I finally got around to calibrating it myself. The 2nd monitor came today and after setting it to SRGB mode as well the two do not match at all color-wise. In fact, the original 1st monitor has a color shift to the red while the 2nd monitor is shifted to the blue. I only noticed how much the 1st monitor is off because of the stark contrast to the 2nd monitor. If they were actually calibrating these this problem would have been obvious or they just don’t care.

They do however match in the Standard mode where white is actually showing up as white on both monitors, but I have no idea what that is supposedly set to or ever calibrated in any way. Every other mode has the same red and blue color shifts.

Now, for the price, any P-IPS panel is a steal, but it’s still a $500 …

I bought this monitor because it uses IPS panel and the zero bright dot policy from ASUS. I use it for web designs, photography and games.

I found this monitor highly suitable for my needs, I was able to calibrate to the specifications I desired with only a minor glitch. I am not sure what caused it so I will just simply state manually deleting the profile provided by ASUS was required. Until I did that I was unable to properly save profiles I created. The lesson is do not install the windows 7 driver/profile. It is only a guess that was the cause of the problem. Theoretically it should not have, but theory and practice are often not the same.

Color accuracy and monitor brightness and white point uniformity was very good. Be warned not all older calibration devices will work with this monitor and with most software you will have to manually set the brightness and other controls. With X-rite i1 profiler I set the monitor to Adobe RGB mode, set the brightness to 12% and contrast ratio target to 250. Everything other than contrast ratio was left at the default value. I obtained the selected targets.

A word about luminance, most people need a value of 120, if you feel you may need a lower or higher value for your specific …

I purchased the PA246Q monitor in June 2011 after reading mostly favorable reviews. I use the monitor for photo & video editing and general computing. My son loves it for gaming. It is one of three monitors on my system and I drive it through the Display Port connection a high-end ATI graphics card.

My monitor has not exhibited any dead pixels or other screen quality issues. Like most other reviewers, I too find that the monitor is too bright, so I adjust the brightness to the low end of the 1-100 scale. (Like setting it at “10″).

The monitor came with a color calibration report from the calibration done at the factory. I found that very little adjustment was needed once I did my own calibration.

But I have had a consistent problem that has cost some troubleshooting hours before I learned how to avoid/fix the issue.

Sometimes, the Monitor will not “Power-on”. That is, after using the power button to turn it off (vs leave it in Standby), I have had the unit refuse to turn back “on”. I have discovered that if I don’t turn the monitor “on” before I turn on the …

I needed a monitor for my music production studio, but hum this LCD produces (@ B5, 987.77 Hz, as well as other lower frequencies) renders it useless for that purpose. Unless I want to record everything in the key of B…..
Naaaahh!

So far, this monitor has been a joy. A fair warning though – I’ve had it less than a week. The display is impeccable – especially compared to my other Acer monitor.

The product handles colors surprisingly well. Considering the price (about $110 when I bought it), it’s definitely worth it.

I’ve mounted it on my wall, and it’s pretty light. I do not use the stand.

Use it as an external for my Acer laptop and it works great. Its bright, no dead pixels, beautiful display.

Its a good monitor. Videos look great on it. I use it alot to watch movies online. Nice crisp images. The main cons I can give you are the stand doesn’t allow for any repositioning. The angle when mounted on the stand is all you get, no tilting or angling. About the best screen I could find in this price range. Acer is one of my favorite brands and have had no problems from their product line.** If you’re going to watch movies with this monitor I recommend leaving the setting on “User” – all other settings are too dark for movie watching in my opinion.
- Everything came intact. Packaging was fine.

- My only con is I think monitors in general are too expesive for their use. You can spend about 200 more bucks and just use a flat screen tv as a monitor. And they come with a tuner and speakers.

- But overall great monitor in this price range. Would definately recommend. Hope this review helps.

Hands down, this is the best monitor I have ever used! Colors are vivid, all in all this is a gem.

Pros:
Everything you can think of, (good price, set up in seconds, never had a problem with any settings or had to adjust colors or anything)– except the cons below:

Cons:
Unfortunately this comes with a lame stand. Apparently it snaps into place, but you have to push really hard to get it to snap (I didn’t push hard enough– a few weeks later it fell down and got several nice dings and scratches Acer P215H Bbd 22 Widescreen LCD HD Monitor Reviews & Discount I am going to get a real stand soon.)
This monitor is also not great with glare, –but neither is any screen, so I won’t down rate it for my crummy installation and using it in front of a window.

Please! If you are scrolling through reviews, trying to make up your mind, just trust me, Get This Monitor. You will be glad you did!

Despite the premium price, this is hands-down the best external display to use with a MacBook or MacBook Pro, especially if you plan on using the dual-desktop arrangement (utilizing the laptop AND display).

The built-in MagSafe adapter is the best feature. It completely negates having to carry the regular power adapter from home to work and back every single day, which is something that I always found to be a pain. The MagSafe adapter is extremely convenient.

Additionally, when the USB cable is plugged into the laptop, it automatically activates the built-in speakers and recognizes the iSight as the primary camera in case you need to use iChat to video conference.

As many others have found, this is not a display that is widely compatible with other laptops or even older Apple laptops. The display is powered by a mini Display Port, which is only used on the newer MacBooks and MacBook Pros. While I am sure that certain adapters can provide functionality with other laptops, this display is really meant to be used as a companion to the newer Apple notebooks.

Overall, the display looks great. I find the glossy screen to make the colors …

Apple LED Cinema Display 24 Inch MB382LL/A Reviews & Discount

Four months ago I purchased a Mac Pro with increased chip capacity and this monitor. The monitor has been flickering occasionally, and this week it started flickering to the point that I couldn’t use it at all. Apple will only fix it if I bring it in to an Apple store, but I live hours away from the nearest Apple store. The Apple representative first told me I could ship the monitor to a store and they’d send me a prepaid label for shipping. Then I was told they wouldn’t pay for shipping but would only supply me with a gift certificate to Apple in the amount of the shipping. Then I received a phone call saying I can’t ship it as the Apple stores won’t accept it shipped (even I have its original package) and the Apple headquarters doesn’t fix monitors. So I’m going to have to take a full day out of my life to drive it in and wait for it to be fixed. I used to be a big Mac supporter, but this changed my opinion 180 degrees.

This display is great. It definitely turns my laptop into a desktop experience, when paired with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Allows me to have multiple windows open and see everything, the images are sharp and clear and the video quality is excellent. A great product! And since I got it slightly (and I do mean slightly) used, I saved over $100.

The 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Display is the perfect size for my desk – the 27″ is too large for my use. And as designed by Apple, it’s a simple plug and play with my 15″ Macbook Pro. The display is stunning.

Monitor seems to be ok but the pictures show a DVI port. It does not have a DVI port. I ordered for my mother and she wants to keep it but if it was mine I would send it back just on principle.

This really is a very nice monitor, especially for the price. The only problem I’ve had so far is that I had to turn down the brightness to about half.

I wish I had stuck with a CRT Monitor, but I wanted one of the slim new LCD monitors. I found that this one is hard to view. It doesn’t scroll well and you have to view from a certain angle to be able to see the screen.

A big problem is that the screen flickers, sometimes with different colored hues. The defect makes the monitor hard to view. I’ll have to send it back to the manufacturer for repair or replacement.

Hi’ve had my VA520 for 3 years now – my computer is on 24 hrs/day. This is an excellent monitor and a great value. The image is perfect, easy to see and takes up little desk space.

I think the previous reviewer may have problems in their computer settings and not a fault of the monitor based on what they described.

This is my second ViewSonic monitor and I will continue to buy their products.

Seller backed out of deal at last minute and then raised the price and sold to someone else. And when I tried to email the guy, he ignored me.

The monitor arrived in only a few days. it was packed properly. it was a little dusty, but clean. most importantly it works very well

Those two words describes everything about this monitor. I have been an HP fan for years. This monitor replaces the famed h2207w that is a superb monitor as well.

This LED – what a field of view! I opted for the DVI-D hook up to my computer. The computer recognized the monitor as soon as all was turned on. The ONLY adjustment I had to make was turn the brightness down a tad.

Seriously, everything is sharp, clear, and crisp. For those having issues, then try the VGA or HDMI hookups. Because, honestly…it is hard for me to believe the monitor is the problem.

Also, for those that discredit this monitor because of its stand or tilting capability, the few things that comes to mind is…do you even bother to review the specs, the images provided by HP, or even go to HP’s website? It seems as if people are giving this monitor bad marks because of their shortcomings, not the monitor’s.

Same for those that give bad marks because they have to elevate the entire monitor to a workable height. Seriously? Are you kidding me? Again, that lazy to review specs, look at the pictures, …

HP 2711x 27 Inch LED Monitor Black Reviews & Coupon Code

This monitor uses much less electricity than the 2710m of last year (135 watts for the non LED 2710m versus 40 watts for this new 2711x)
It also does not have
1. No built in power supply (this 2711x has one of the power bricks for your floor)
2. no silver solid base that allowed left right and up down tilting as on the 2710M
3. no internal speakers (thin design knoocked those out)
4. no ambient light sensor to dim down the display slightly at night when brightness is not needed
5. the syling is a big step backwards; the 2710m was a work of art in mimicking the overpriced Apple 27″ display; this is just plain jane and another plastic monitor in that regard

BUT
All that being said, this new LED 2711x produces a superb image and sharpness
Amazon just has to get their info correct; laziness does not count for those who update the Amazon web pages…

I simply cannot say enough good things about this monitor.

First let me say thanks to all the reviewers of this monitor.

I was looking for a 27″ monitor but wasn’t sure which one to get.

Whenever in doubt I always go to Amazon to see what others have to say concerning a particular product.

After reading all the positive and glowing reviews on Amazon concerning the HP 2711x, I was convinced this was the monitor for me.

I’m on computers, looking at code, logs, diags, etc… all day ( very intense on the eyes ). While company provides two 20″-23″ monitors, I figured I’d invest in myself, after all, I’ll be more productive, get more done ( boss & I both will be more happy ) and most important, it’s less strain and fatigue on the eyes.

4am, read most of the Amazon reviews from my cell phone
8am, purchased two monitors from local retailer on way to work
9am, both monitors installed and functioning on desktop at work
.
. fell in love with the monitors…
. decided i’d get two more for home
.
5pm, purchased two more monitors for home

I almost didn’t consider this excellent monitor because there were a few bad reviews. Most of the bad reviews are because the monitor doesn’t have a VESA mount.
I did not want to mount the monitor on the wall so this was not a concern. I wish people would finish the review and let us know how the rest of the monitor works after panning it for not mounting on the wall (this is not an HDTV monitor). This monitor has a bright sharp picture, it has great on screen controls, and it has real buttons for controlling it. I am real happy with it. The base and shell are light weight but not cheap feeling. $300 for a 27″ monitor with such a great display is a bargain.

3/2012 I purchased the HP h8xt i7 computer with two HP2711x27 LED monitors. The computer works great but one of the monitors had a green to red shift from top to bottom. On a white background, the top of the screen had a red tint that shifted to a green tint at the bottom. For some reason, HP had to send two replacement monitors for the two that I originally purchased. One of the replacement monitors had the same shifting tint from top to bottom. The two remaining good monitors had a overall tint that was easily adjusted using the included the color/gray adjustment tools. The images are crisp and bright. Plenty of brightness and nicely built. I would purchase these monitors again but encourage the purchaser to view the monitor with a white background and make sure that any color hue is the same across the face of the monitor that can be adjusted to the preferred perception of gray.

I’ve had this monitor for a few days now and didn’t come across anyone mentioning the auto switching inputs upon either HDMI and DVI devices turned on. I mean if I turn off my PS3 and Xbox the monitor sets it self to sleep VIA HDMI!!! Unlike my Asus VH242H. With the Asus it would stay on, with a blue screen and never turn off unless you get up and turn it off manually. I’m lazy so if I’m in bed I’d have to get up before I went to sleep unless I wanted the sky lighting up my room. The Asus went to sleep with DVI which was fine but just wanted to let you know this HP monitor sleeps on HDMI. Also if the monitor is sleeping with no devices turn on, the monitor will auto switch inputs if you turn on your PS3 or PC so you don’t have to press any buttons. It does it automatically for you. The screen is WIDE! and very nice.

That’s about the only pros I have with this monitor. Here we go with the Cons.
You can only set one custom video settings. So if you like multiple settings …

This is my first new monitor since the early 2000s (19 inch CRT, it’s still going).

First of all, I’m not playing games on this monitor. I am however doing quite a bit of reading (I’m a student) and writing on it. My old CRT used to give me a headache after about 4-5 hours of use. I’m happy to say that the headaches have stopped. Also, the resolution of this monitor (and the fact that it is wide-screen) lets me have 2 documents open (and still be able to read both of them comfortably) at a time. Writing research papers has never been easier! It really is a delightful monitor that is easy on the eyes, very crisp, and great for research writing.

Let me first say that my husband and I are “mature” even in dog years. Hardcore gaming is not going to happen for us.

Last summer I decided to upgrade our 15 inch CRT to a manageable size flat widescreen. I realize that this is considered a tiny screen by today’s standards but it works well in the confines of the allotted space, has a terrific picture with detail and color that just blow our befuddled old brains. Love the price and reliability. It has been a terrific purchase for us.

Highly recommend!

Why Samsung would make a nice non-glare screen and then surround it with a black mirror finish frame is beyond me. If you intend to operate this monitor in anything other than a dark room, you will find the reflections off the frame quite distracting. I ran around the frame with electrical tape which looks pretty red-neck, but at least I can use the monitor now without drawing all the curtains.

this monitor is great! however i just bought a wall mount for it and went to remove the stand. turns out it can’t be done.

i called samsung and they said to remove it, me and another person had to PULL really hard. we tried and failed. it feels like you will destroy the thing by pulling really hard on the stand. oh and they don’t cover physical damage in the warranty. sweet!

when you put the stand on, just MAKE SURE you never want to wall mount it.

weak.

I purchased this Samsung monitor because the screen on my Samsung laptop is amazing. Big mistake.

This is the worst monitor purchase I have made.
As a web designer, I need accurate colors and working pixels, and this monitor did not deliver.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the box, was the bare metal amidst the glossy black of the frame, right on the top where you’ll always see it.

I was also a bit disappointed at the depth – it is twice as thick as most monitors. Not too cool to look at.

Then I turned it on and was presented with dead pixels! I had read many reviews about people having dead pixels with this monitor so I’m not sure if this is a weakness in general. I found that if I massaged the pixels that were dead (stuck blue), they would start working again for a few hours, and then die again.

Then I ran the color calibration software from Windows 7, and whereas with my Dell monitor the factory settings were perfect, the Samsung needed a lot of tweaking to calibrate the colors. This means that people who appreciate …

The screen looks great when you’re playing a bright game or watching a bright movie, but when the screen goes dark around the edges it ruins my viewing experience. Will probably return.
