VERY glad I bought this model - (it's matte, NOT glossy),

This review is from: Samsung 2494LW 24-Inch LCD Monitor (Black) (Personal Computers)
I think the "glossy" in the product's description refers to the bezel because the screen is definitely matte. My last monitor was a Samsung 206BW that failed (a capacitor issue). For the 2-3 years it lasted, I really liked the picture (as well as loving my 52" Samsung LCD) so I decided to give Samsung another chance. I wanted a larger size monitor mainly for photo editing that I do in Photoshop and Lightroom. For two hundred bucks, I could not be happier with this unit. I was almost going to buy an HP 2309 or 2509 monitor because it also has a great looking screen, but after comparing in-store, I wanted a matte screen because I think it's easier to resolve finer detail on a matte screen.
All I can say is that the brightness and colors of this monitor are great. I can see where some people might find the default settings a bit too bright but I prefer a brighter screen.

I'm always a big fan of Samsung. This LCD carries a three-year warranty, compared with most LCDs only carry 1 year. I have a 19' Samsung LCD I bought many years ago and still works perfectly. This new monitor is very easy to set up. Deliver clear, crispy and rich imagine right out of box. I bought it at a great price when it was on sale. Can't be more happier!
Great monitor at a great price,

I bought this for a recording rig to replace a 10 year old Mac display.
It is very clear and bright if needed. Very easy to put together and my MacPro saw it as soon as I plugged it in. I have really been enjoying the wide screen (the Mac was more of a square) when doing Pro Tools edits. Movies and photos look great too.
Over all a really good deal.
