Good and worth the money.......2005-10-26

This monitor has the best value in the class of 1600 x 1200. The pixels are sharp. I have no complain when using photoshop. And it is very bright.

However, 25 ms is not fast enough. When I open the Performance tab of Task Manager (Windows) and drag around, I can see the ugly latency. Yes, this problem exists on all LCD, more or less. I just have to remind potential buyers anyway.

Some people suggest using DVI instead of VGA for better quality. I agree. I happen to lack the resource to buy such video card, and VGA plug works well enough for me. So if you don't have a DVI card, don't shy away from this monitor.

You can also rotate the monitor 90 degrees for portrait mode. It is great for viewing PDF or word doc (support from video card required). But you don't have to if you wish to use landscape mode.

Great monitor at a great price.......2005-08-14

We use this monitor where I work in a software engineering environment. We stare at these monitors up to ten hours a day looking at source code and other text based displays. This is one of the best monitors I've ever used regardless of price. When I saw the price for this monitor on Amazon, I bought one for my own use at home. At home I use the monitor for programming and for gaming. It's performance is excellent in both realms. I don't know if the color reproduction is photo quality, but it looks good to me and that's all that matters as far as I'm concerned.

Excellent monitor for the price.......2005-05-27

I purchased a 213T to replace a three-year-old 181T. The 181T is still working fine (though it has some slightly noticeable burn-in). The 181T has an incredibly sharp picture (I work with text all day and I'm very fussy about monitors). I was dubious that the 213T could deliver the same picture quality with a 3" larger screen and priced hundreds less than I paid for the 181T.

I was pleasantly surprised. The 213T's picture is perfect. No dead pixels, extremely sharp, and colors that look even better than the 181T. Don't believe the other reviews that caution against using this monitor in analog mode. There is a perceptible difference between the digital and analog mode, but the analog picture is still of outstanding quality. I used analog mode for about a week before replacing my graphics card with a dual-DVI Matrox P650, and I could have lived with it, but I wanted both monitors running in digital mode.

Two noticeable differences between the 213T and the 181T: the 213T comes out of standby a lot faster (about 2 seconds instead of 5), and the fluid is much slower on the 213T. If I take a window with a dark blue background and white text, and drag it around on the 213T, the text smears to blue. There is almost no change in the text color on the 181T. This might be an issue for some people, but it isn't an issue with the way I use the monitor.

WOW! Beautiful, functional at a good price.......2005-05-26

Gorgeous image, rotation for LONG viewing with included PivotPro software, color/brightness correction for various settings (office lightings, home lightings, etc.) with included Natural Color software. Comes with VGA and DVI cables. Very pleased.

Not quite perfect, but very good.......2005-05-19

As all of the other reviews are stellar, I had to add my own cautions.

First, I am generally very happy with this monitor and highly recommend it for most uses. I primarily use this for stock charting software and it is excellent for this. I also am supplying a natural 1600x1200 res signal from my IBM t42 laptop so I am giving it as high a quality signal as possible. And the difference between a 21" and 20" screen is VERY usable!

But there are some issues that some of you might want to note:
* Sharpness: While the 213T is a 1600x1200 res monitor, it is clearly not as crisp and detailed as my 15" laptop, also a native 1600x1200 screen. There is a loss of some detail and an overall softness that would probably make a CAD/CAM or photo-junky frustrated at times.
* Getting the colors right: No problem getting things bright, but getting the colors to come close to that on my laptop or my desktop has been impossible. Photos that I know well simply look far too different on the Samsung and no amount of fussing with the monitor or the supplied software has been able to resolve this. Again, if you are a graphics or photo person, you might find this an issue.

As for me, I am perfectly happy since I bought this primarily to have a second monitor attached to my laptop for dual screen use with stock charts. And frankly a bit of color shift and a bit of softness is completely overshadowed by the huge picture and amount of 'stuff' that I can have active on the screen. Consider your needs and useage. This may be the perfect monitor for you as well. And comparitively very affordable, too!
