Samsung SyncMaster 226BW

(Flat panel monitors)

"I just got this monitor a few weeks ago and like many others - searched for reviews and found alot of talk about the S model and A - and now a C model etc. and was worried - so i ended up buying it bestbuy instead of online just in case i got a bad one - they had a S model on display and it looked so so - its because bestbuy didnt have to set up rigth - there was one left - i took it -
its a C model - i love the size - the colors are very good - i did have problems - turned out to be my video card drivers - once i got that fixed - its been working fine since - its not perfect - nothing is - for the price its very good - i dont have a big problem with the backligth bleeding - i lowered my brightness to 20% and its still very good and really helped with the blacks - contrast i have on 70% and sharpness is on 20% - i cant complain for the price - if you really want perfection in all areas - you will need to spend double if not more in price - this is the sweet spot for price and size and Quality - i wouldnt worry too much about the model Numbers - S, A, C -- maybe the A was bad - i dont know - but i think they are shipping out the C and S - i got the C and its very nice - i wont be bringing it back - and i sure anyone would be happy with it also - the only thing is with the color is at the bottom of the screen its lighter - more brigther and as you look higher and on top the color is darker - - but not a big deal - you wont even notice if unless you have a solid background color on the screen - and only with some solid colors - so i wont sweat it - its worth looking at - and i like the base - it turns almost all the way around - i have mines in a montior stand anyway so the height is good for me -"
