Negative Positive
Title: Nice monitor, good deal.
Review: I went with this monitor for my laptop dock after reading many positive reviews and ratings. It was between this and the high-end dell. I have the 20" dell (UltraSharp 2007WFP) on my other computer, so that's my baseline. I expected the Samsung to be even better, but this is definitely not the case. Sitting in front of the monitor, it's wonderful. Very bright and sharp running at the native resolution. But, stand up and the brightness and contrast rapidly drop off. The horizontal viewing angle isn't as bad, but it noticably drops off as well. With the Dell, it looks nearly the same from even extreme viewing angles.Bottom line, I agree with the consensus that this is a great monitor for the price. I would likely buy it again. Just realize the difference between this and a display like the Dells with 178 degree viewing angles--if you have to have that, pay the extra premium.
