Samsung P2450H 24-Inch Widescreen Touch of Color LCD Monitor - Rose Black

The monitor looks and performs great.

I have a "droopy lip" Touch of Color red TV in the living room and I think I prefer the squared off look of this monitor. The red is very subtle around the edges with a brighter spot just below the SAMSUNG logo. The controls take a bit of getting used to and can be difficult to find in the dark when the monitor is off. Typically swiping my finger along the right side of the bottom edge is enough to turn the monitor on and/or light up the controls. The base for the monitor is a bit wobbly if you don't have a sturdy desk.

The default color calibration is pretty good. The greens seem a bit hot. It's very bright at the default settings as well. The included MagicTune software for Windows 7 was listed as Beta and I was never able to get it to work properly. I tried downloading the version of the software Samsung suggests on their site for Windows 7 and all it would do is tell me it was incompatible. This was disappointing, but...Read more

I recently purchased this monitor for my daughter to use with her MacMini. It is a very expensive looking monitor with excellent controls and image. I work for a printing company in their imaging department and I would say that for the money it is a top notch monitor. You would be hard pressed to find anything better at this price. The packaging came with all the right cables and I was able to hook it up to the MacMini with no problem at all. I work with color images all day and I couldn't find anything I dislike with this monitor so far. As for the reviewer who posted that the monitor's base was fixed, they either upgraded it or the poster didn't install it right because I was able to tilt it backwards and forwards. I'll say that its equal to my Mac 23 inch Cinema or even better at a fraction of the the price.

I go through a lot of pc monitors at work, upgrading quite frequently. I have to say the color and picture quality is super crisp on this baby. I response time is great, and brightness control is smooth. HOWEVER!!! I can only give this item a two star because of the stinkin stand that it sits on. I mean let me tell you something. This has to have one of the worst stands on pc monitor I have ever seen. Unstable, if you push your desk even a little it wobbles. Due to the heaviness of the screen it sort of leans a bit forward at all times. If you sit this thing on a regular computer desk, you may want to try lying on the floor to get a good view, otherwise stick this thing on a camera tripod next to your desk, or wall mount this thing. Otherwise...you will go nuts! trust me.
