Summary: Okay monitor but horrible backlight leakage prevents blacks from being "true"
Comment: Okay, I bought this monitor under the impression that it would have a decent contrast ratio and decent blacks. The monitor is very aesthetically pleasing, except for the wobbly stand.
Upon turning the monitor on, I was greeted with very vibrant colors, but as soon as I started viewing a dark scene in a game, on the internet, or in a movie... I noticed horrible back light leakage on the bottom and top of the screen. It practically made the blacks gray.
I thought this was a high quality monitor, apparently I was wrong. I'm hoping it was just a defect, but so far I'm very disappointed d with the purchase and I will be RMA'ing the monitor in hopes that I get a better quality version.
Just as a note, it says my monitor was made in China. What the hell, Samsung is out sourcing now too?
Also, the dynamic contrast ratio settings in the options is a total joke, It's more annoying than anything else. All it does is increase and decrease the brightness when the screen is really bright or really dark. This does 2 things, especially in dark scenes, it takes away from the vibrancy of the colors and sometimes if a scene is partially dark it's annoying watching the brightness constantly fluctuate from bright to dark, and takes away from the overall "experience". I found it was just best to leave magic bright setting on game when watching movies or playing games. The dynamic option is decent for internet usage.

Summary: Beautiful Monitor better than Dell or HP
Comment: very nice overall. No adjustment is possible. was very confused whether go with DELL SE198WFP ($164 only) or HP W1907 or 1908 looked at all. None compares to this in style or clarity. Jumped on it once found for 170 on BHStudio

Summary: Great Monitor, Don't bother with the software!
Comment: I actually purchased this monitor at Circuit City, but thought I'd write my review on Amazon just to let you know that if your looking for a good 19" high quality LCD monitor, then look no further. This monitor is amazing. The colors are so vibrant, the response is unprecedented, the contrast blows any monitor out of the water, it has true blacks, and last but no least, it's affordable.
Some say this monitor doesn't tilt. Well, I have news for those of you who think it can't tilt. It does in fact tilt. Just grab the monitor by the sides and tilt. I promise you won't break the monitor.

Summary: It Does Tilt
Comment: Just got this monitor and it looks great. After calibration, I'd say it is comparable to the best LCDs I've seen. And it does in fact have a tilt adjustment. It is however a bit stiff at first and appears to be fixed in a vertical position. It's not.
