    Samsung 226BW 22": 3000:1 Contrast, 2ms response time

    My buddy got the same monitor on Sunday from CC. His is an "A" panel, mine is the "S". Going from mine to his I saw NOTHING that made me think his panel was significantly inferior. However, after he read all the rubbish in here he talked himself into thinking he made a bad purchase. It took me...

    Samsung 226BW 22": 3000:1 Contrast, 2ms response time

    Well then let's go down this path all the way then shall we? When a manufacturer of a computer product releases a new item, and well before it hits the shelves, they send them out to review sites so that they can generate "buzz" for said new product. Most review sites note in each review...

    I actually have an "S" panel, but didn't bother to check until last weekend and even then only did so because of this lunacy...lol

    Samsung 226BW 22": 3000:1 Contrast, 2ms response time

    We have some folks around here who seriously need to get a grip. This whole "A" vs. "S" panel debate is a almost a joke and certainly wearing thin. The difference between them is minor at best. No matter what panel you get, there are allowable tolerances in the manufacturing process that could...

    Samsung 226BW 22": 3000:1 Contrast, 2ms response time

    So here is the problem as I see it. Everyone has an opinion of what they like or dislike about this monitor. I have one and I am very pleased with it. I don't do a ton of photo editing but do game heavily on it. BF2142 is my poison and I am very pleased with the performance of this monitor in...

    Auto Adjustment detects and test refresh and moire on VGA signals while setting the monitor to display the image centered and fullscreen. If your monitor is hooked up via the DVI cable, those adjustments are not nedded. Nothing to worry about, it's supposed to be this way.

    DELL 2407WFP A03 & HD Cable Box

    Yes you can hook it up that way. It does not have a built in tuner, but if you use your cable box it should be just fine.

    I am using it for games. I play Oblivion and BF2142 on it. No complaints, no issues.

    Gateway 2185W Problem with 1080i

    I could be wrong, but it sounds like a signal issue, not a monitor issue. The signal is greater on a 1080 vs. 720 stream. Try changing cables (poss DVI connection) and if that fixes it great, but I really doubt it's the monitor.

    Samsung 226Bw Review - Opinions

    Sorry about not posting picks gents, I haven't had time. To speak to backlight bleed, my 19" Samsung 940BF had more noticable bleed than the 22" does. In normal conditions (surfing web, watching stuff in normal lighting) it looks incredible. I have set the brightness to 90 and the...
