Strengths: Bright,clear screen
Weakness: No height adjustment on stand
Unbelievable LCD for the money. Large 22" screen with very vivid colors, crisp text and no ghosting. Great for gaming, watching movies or anything else. The magic bright controls are nice preset levels for various uses. From a purely asthetic viewpoint, the monitor housing is very stylish in gloss black with a silver accent along the bottom. My only complaint is that there is no height adjustment...
Strengths: Great display for the price. The manufacture's rebate did not hurt! Stylish, fast response time, good contrast, space saving and a good value.
Weakness: The Stand! There is no real height adjustment. It's possible to refasten the stand upright to the monitor for a slight increase in height.
I had purchased the smaller Samsung 906bw for another computer. Its performance for the price was so impressive that it was a quick decision to pick up the larger 226bw for another desk top. The monitor's size is great for most applications plus it has greatly increased usable desk space. My teenager thinks it is "wow." The blue power light is a bit bright.
Strengths: Top rated, great price, beautiful image quality, accepts both digital computer and analog TV inputs
Weakness: No TV-specific inputs/outputs, no height adjustment (minor points)
I shopped around for monitors before settling on this one, reading every review I could find on widescreen 22" monitors: this one stood out. I went to the store to check it out in person, and it clearly had the best display quality. It works perfectly with my new widescreen laptop at 1680 x 1050 and 60 Hz in true color. It's so bright I have to keep all the lights in the room on, or the contrast...
Strengths: Fantastic image quality
Weakness: Some versions of this panel have bad backlight bleed, pixelated DVD playback in dark areas. Power light too bright.
There are three versions of this monitor and you won't know which one you get until you open the box. There is no consensus on which panel is best. However, the "S" version seems to get the most good votes. I originally had an "A" version, and it had terrible backlight bleed and pixelated DVD playback when showing dark areas. I exchanged the "A" and got a "C" panel that has almost no backlight...
Strengths: The colors are vivid with deep reds and yellows. No dead pixels. Played BF2142 and did not have any ghosting usually associated with LCD screens. It has excellent all around performance.
Weakness: There is no height adjustment. The blue light on the power button shines directly at you, which can be quite annoying and distracting in a dark room.
I waited a while to purchase an LCD monitor because I am a gamer and needed one with a low response time. I actually purchased the smaller 206BW and was so pleased with the performance I returned it and bought the 226BW. With a 2ms response time and a high contrast ratio, it works great for fast FPS games. The brightness may be a little too bright as it can hurt your eyes after a while. The 226BW...
Strengths: Vivid display, 22" widescreen, great contrast ratio.
Weakness: n/a
I just love this monitor; I bought it to replace my 19" Viewsonic VX924 Gaming Monitor. The pictures and colors on this monitor are much better than on my other monitor. I love the 22" display, not too big or too small, for me anyway. Some people complain that this monitor does not have a height adjustment, but it does have a bends-back-& -forth adjustment, which works just fine for me. Samsung...
Strengths: Bright, vibrant colors with lots of screen space for the buck.
Weakness: Not 178 degree viewing angles.
Bought this one at Best Buy and received an "A" panel with none of the ill effects reported by some others. There has been some debate about "S" and "A" panels with this model Samsung monitor as of late. Some reports on the internet claim that the "S" panel is made by Samsung and the "A" panel is made by AOC, another lcd panel manufacturer. Honestly, I am not sure whether the reports hold any...
Strengths: Bright! Fast! Crisp!
Weakness: telescoping stand would be a nice addition. resolutions could of been higher but for under $400, awsome
I have been using the same sony 20 inch crt for 8 years, it was the only thing i have left of one of my first computers so i thought this would be a nicely needed upgrade, and wow i was blown away, my games look 10X better, my eyes are still trying to get used to the size, just purchased another one for a friend.
Strengths: 22" Large screen with a very classy looking gloss finish around the frame.
Weakness: None - well if I had to nitpick, I would say maybe the buttons are slightly confusing for navigating the menus.
I love this monitor. I purchased it from somewhere else before Newegg had stock. The glossy finish around the edge of the screen makes the monitor look very nice! The display is great also. Mine had no dead or stuck pixels. I also have no backlight bleed. And the screen is not stretched as some claim might happen in the forums. It makes the tiny print easier to read and the text is sharp. And...

Weakness: a c panel
I bought a samsung 226bw and it looked terrible so I read online and found a sight that tells you how to take the back cover off about 5 screw really easy and you can see what panel you have. I had a C made bye Chi-something I took the monitor back to the store and got one with a diffrent manufactor date. Took it home and it looked great really great, so I took the back cover off and sure enough...
