Strengths: Refresh rate, color, brightness, quality of picture, movie and gaming capabilities.
Weakness: Doesn't include a DVI cable in the box, but if that is the worst then this is the best.
I had researched monitors for what seems like a year. I wanted large size, fast refresh rate, and resonable price. I couldn't decide with which monitor to go with, or even which company to choose. I was about to purchase the Hyundai L90D, which is suppused to be very good for the buck (close enough that the credit card was out of my wallet and in my hand), when I stumbled onto this on a random...
Strengths: Price, clarity, pixel resopnse time
Weakness: Tilt but no elevation adjust
Just bought this monitor at Best Buy yesterday for $350. This is an excellent monitor good for games, DVD's etc. I watch internet baseball games on mlb.com and the games look great. I believe this is the best 19" monitor you can buy for the price. Half-Life looks great on this monitor. I am using the analog input and it still looks great. Can't wait to see how the digital input looks when I...
Strengths: Excellent Refresh Rate, Digital Input, Price!!!
Weakness: No swivel on base, awkward cable layout
This monitor is the best you can buy for the money. The refresh rate is unheard of on a 19 in monitor and the colors are amazing. There is a rumor that the best LCD doesn't come close to the picture quality of even a mid priced CRT but after seeing this monitor in action I know that isn't true. If you are still holding on to your bulky, heavy CRT because you don't think an LCD can match...
Strengths: Very Clean, Uniform image, great for all but the most breakneck games, great for movies after adjustments (used video card tuning wizard). Excellent built-in scaling. Great color
Weakness: tiny bit of drag in Unreal Tournament, can see dithering of colors, must use DVI to get best picture, looks horrible using VGA, odd aspect ratio 16x12.8, not the greatest viewing angles
I bought this monitor in July '05 at Best Buy after doing price matching between Circuit City and then Best Buy again to get it down to $369, didn't need a rebate! The 3 screens from CC all had irregularities in the pixels that I could not stand (1-2 half dead pixels). The CC units were all made in Malaysia; the BB unit was made in Mexico, go figure. It was the best one and had a perfect picture,...
Strengths: Color clarity and accuracy,consistent quality, spacesaver.
Weakness: No DVI cable,a bit pricey, but worth the money.
I have had this monitor for about 3 months. I am impressed with the quality, being an avid digital photographer,color depth and detail are critical,I'm using a 256mb ATI Graphic Card, via DVI connection WOW! I could view for hours at a time, Analog was eh...so.. so.. Gaming...Ghost Recon- is above average, DVD's are exceptional, minimal to no ghosting, Samsung is lax in returning the rebates,...
Strengths: No dead pixels, sharp colors, good response time. Good value, excellent value with rebates. Good 3 yr. warranty.
Weakness: No height adjustment, no DVI cable (given the price of DVI cables, this is understandable)
I do a lot of word processing and spreadsheets (7-10 hrs. per day) and this monitor is a joy for the eyes. I would recommend going digital and pay the price for a male-male DVI cable as there is a difference - I would assume with most any digital monitor. The cables generally retail between $50-$99; however, I got a closeout @ $13. The only snag on my monitor was the female DVI interface did not...
Strengths: Sharp picture, DVI connection, Brightness
Weakness: No negative tilt angle, Bleeding
I had a MAG 19 LCD and liked it but decided to trade up to this model for the better contrast and DVI connection. I must say that when connected digitally, the picture is beautifull and sharp. The blacks are very dark... in the middle of the screen. The edges, mainly the top, have a very visable bleed. IT is worst when viewing in the dark. I had a friend warn me that they had had to go through...
Strengths: Easy on the eyes, picture clarity, brightness
Weakness: Doesn't scale well outside the native resolution, minor ghosting problems
As a gamer who cares about image quality, I used to be a die-hard CRT fanatic. I never dreamed I would switch to an LCD. Unfortunately, my CRT began to wear on my eyes and I needed an alternative. Plus, LCDs are the future, and having a CRT just isn't in style anymore. I chose the Samsung 930B because it was the only 8ms model I could find at the time (September 2005) at a reasonable price. I was...
Strengths: Clear Picture, Fast Response Time, 8ms, Sharp Picture, No Bleeding with Analog connection
Weakness: Doesn't include DVI cable, but they are truly expensive. A little awkward to connect the cable, but you only do it once so who cares really.
I waited a long time to find a decent LCD monitor. Response time was my big concern, and of course a good price. I found both in the Samsung 930B. I was actually looking at the 15" model when I saw this one displayed in use at Best Buy. I was amazed at how sharp the picture was, and how black the blacks were. It didn't look digital. I didn't buy it that day, but purchased from J&R Music World at...

Samsung SyncMaster 930B Black 19" LCD Monitor
Strengths: 8MS display, Magicbright one touch settings change for gaming, typeing etc. DVI and VGA ports, built in Power supply (no brick), 3 year warranty! :)
Weakness: Plastic base, no DVI cable, no handle for easy LAN party transport. Some Acer models are metal and have handles.
Excellent budget Ultrafast LCD panel. Mine had no dead pixels and with Samsungs 3 year no dead pixel warranty, that is the best in the business.
