Excellent Display, Fully Satisfied,
October 26, 2006 Twain - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung 940BW Widescreen Analog / Digital LCD Monitor (Electronics)
I had never used a widescreen display before, so it was a bit of a leap to spend this kind of money on this device; I didn't know whether I'd like the format or not.
Well, I personally have found:
1.) Widescreen is a great format both for watching movies and doing work, as it enables you, if you wish, to display 2 roughly letter sized pages alongside one another. Also almost every DVD coming out now supports the wide aspect ratio.
2.) This is an exceptionally high quality monitor. Its housing design is slim and sleek and does not draw attention to itself, unlike some of the ones that have silver and flashy stuff all around the screen. Rather, it allows the user to focus on the display. The screen resolution is standard for the size, 1440x900, and this seems more than adequate for all but the most demanding graphic design.
3.) This is a very robust product with regard to support. My entire computer crashed and all I had to do, once the system...Read more

Every Bit Worth the Price,
September 12, 2006 N. Parker "unusually unusual" (Kansas City, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung 940BW Widescreen Analog / Digital LCD Monitor (Electronics)
Want to get into LCD monitors for nearly $100 cheaper than most LCD screens?
Look no further, because this is your screen.
The price? Every bit worth the $200-range price tag that it could be (just think it could be more!). Most monitors at 19" (let alone not even widescreen) still selling for nearly $350 or more in stores and even online. It won't take your wallet, but it will take your breath away. I looked for ages for an affordable LCD screen that I could use for gaming, graphics, and general use. I was disappointed by the featureless screens that are no more than a brick sitting at your desk, and for $200 I expected more than a 15" screen! I was absolutely flabberghasted by the affordability.
This dangerously thin LCD has an unheard of (for this price) 4ms repsonse time, enough to do gaming (World of Warcraft, iRO, Black and White 2) and get the most out of your MMORPG 64 fps.
With all the pluses of this screen (wide, affordable,...Read more

A Pleasant Surprise! But Check Your System First.,
April 29, 2007 hobbyist-2006 - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung 940BW Widescreen Analog / Digital LCD Monitor (Electronics)
I bought my Samsung 940BW from a local electronics center. I would also like to share what I know about it since items I bought from Amazon has always met my satisfaction owing to the good reviews I read about them here.
Everything that the other reviewers found very good about the Samsung 940BW is true. It's display is tack sharp from corner to corner. It is unbelievably thin yet hefty, too. I was originally looking for the 940N model (4:3 aspect) not the wide screen but now that I saw how the 940BW performs, I wouldn't have it any other way. This LCD display is worth every penny you pay for it in terms of performance, good looks and bang for the buck.
There is only one very, very important catch to have all these benefits from your 940BW: Your computer system must be able to display a resolution of 1400 x 900 pixels and 60Hz the native format of the 940BW. Just like what the other reviewer said. LCD 101: Use the 1400x900 format. This is the key. Let me break...Read more
