Close to CRT quality (Rating: 5.00)
Review : As I'm writing this review, I'm watching the evening news. The picture in a picture mode is great for watching TV while using the computer. My previous monitor was a CRT, known for its sharpness, but it hoarded my desk space, not to mention a monster of weight to move. The LCD sharpness is almost as good as the CRT; the other features of this monitor, especially thin size and light weight, make up for the tiny difference in sharpness. The monitor's speakers are pretty good, and external speakers can be added. I had hoped I could run my computer sound through it, but only the TV plays through it. I have a MacIntosh G4 Cube, so it may be a minor incompatibility. By keeping the Cube's USB speakers connected to the computer for computer use and using the monitor's speakers for TV/Video use, I've had no other problems. I would suggest this monitor for college students, or anyone who lives in a dorm/small living space, yet wants to have both a desktop computer and video entertainment system.
Excellent TV and Monitor (Rating: 5.00)

Pretty Happy (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I've been in the market for quite some time to replace my aging CRT monitor, especially since it takes up an enormous amount of my desk. Looking at the monitors in my price range, it basically seemed like I could purchase either a 15" or 17" monitor. I'd been told to always buy the biggest monitor you can afford, but I'm not so sure that's true in this case. I took a chance and purchased this 15" Samsung, and so far I'm extremely glad I did. The picture is extremely sharp, bright, and very clear, every bit as good as any other 15" inch monitor I previewed. Furthermore, this monitor seems like just the right size for my desk, any larger and I honestly think it would take up too much space. But, the thing that really makes me happy is the fact that it can basically act as a very high quality TV, complete with a remote control and pretty decent speakers. Maybe in a year or so, I'll change my mind and decide to upgrade to a larger LCD monitor. Well, I'm sure prices will have dropped quite a bit, and there will always be more bargains to be found. However, I can always use this current Samsung as a TV next to my bed, placed on a wall somewhere, or in my kitchen. I can't say the same for any other monitor I could have bought. In other words, maybe in a few years I'll buy a new monitor, but there will be plenty of great uses for this one. Any other monitor I'd probably junk. If you're in the market for an LCD monitor, consider the fact that it will probably last you many years. Wouldn't it be nice if not only it could be a great primary display, but also could be used a few years down the road for something else? I can't recommend this monitor highly enough, and I'm extremely pleased with my purchase.
Xtremely good image quality... (Rating: 4.00)
Review : As a monitor this one gets 5 stars... as a TV it gets 4 stars... overall 4.5. When using it as a TV image quality decreases at closer ranges, and also sound quality could definetly be improved... the good about the TV is the PiP mode, 64x Digital Zoom, and that the built in TV-Tunner is NSTC/PAL/SECAM compatible... Ahhhh... It only weights around 9 pounds...

Review : I bought this as a monitor for my home office, thinking I'd use the TV tuner as a PIP (picture-in-picture) image while working. So far it hasn't gotten to my desk! I first set it up as a TV in the bedroom, just to be sure it worked. It is a great little TV! Then it went on the kitchen counter. So much better than a big boxy TV taking-up a lot of space. I want at least one more of these! Two minor issues: the sound is a bit tinny from the small built-in speakers (turning up the Bass setting helped.), and the on-screen controls are hard to read from more than a couple feet away. (The optional captions are larger and easy to see.)
