Acer v223w, November 16, 2008

I am very pleased with this monitor. This was the last thing I had to do towards my newly constructed desktop. The delivery took a bit more time than planned, but that was least of worries. The resolution does great with XP-X64 (1680x1050 default) and for Ubuntu 7.10(1440x900 default). This for me was a radical transition from a bulky 16"CRT to this refined 22"-WS LCD. I don't have to be arching over my desk to look at the monitor anymore. If I feel I need to - I trip on the Windows magnifier (It blows everything up).

Excellent Price! Awesome Performance!, November 16, 2008
By Velasquez Fuentes Francisco Ro "Paco" (Guatemala City, GT) - See all my reviews


This monitor is HUGHE you just dont appreciate this on pictures thing, but its a really big upgrade from my old 17"CRT. And with the DVI connector you get really good picture quality, games and movies look awesome. With 5ms response time, you never get any ghosting or blurry images, this is realy a great product and for its price is a bargain. Also samsung ln40b650 got Brightness preset options like Text, Normal, Graphics, Movies, which gives the best brightness/contrast for every situation: surfing the net, working with photo and images (gaming), and watching movies.
One thing that for some samsung ln40b650 may be a concern, its that in the bottom of the screen when the background is black samsung ln40b650 looks too bright, its really a minor thing and samsung ln40b650 doesnt affect the performance of this monitor.

A Great Product, December 10, 2008
By Lawrence R. Cordell (Devon, PA) - See all my reviews


I bought this monitor for my father who really thing wanted a monitor. When I was X-Mas shopping on Amazon I saw HUGE monitor for a GREAT price. I then bought it. samsung ln40b650 arrived at our house about two days before schedule. Nice shipping time. One point for acer. Now to the pros and cons:

Pros: I received the monitor and immediately hooked samsung ln40b650 up with my computer. The monitor shipped perfectly. No dead pixels. samsung ln40b650 has a real nice LCD screen and is REALLY BIG. The monitor looks really nice and has a nice stand. There are also a lot of options that can adjust brightness to make movie viewing, photo viewing, etc. perfect. Now to the cons...

Cons: The manual. Let's just say that the manual is THE WORST manual I have EVER SEEN! There were exactly two pages of directions that gave you no clue what to do. I took me ten minutes to hook up three wires. If the manual was informative samsung ln40b650 would take me one minute. The manual had SO MANY PAGES, but only two pages of information in English. The other 98 pages were all in languages that I have never heard of before. To help you hook up the cables I have created a customer image to help guide you. Another con is that the power cable is WAY TO SHORT. I had to get an extension cable just thing to plug samsung ln40b650 into an outlet. (My outlet is only about 4 feet away from the monitor!)
