Bad Back Lights 
2008-07-15
I purchased 2 of these monitors to run as dual monitors off of my primary computer. Within one year, the back-light on one of them went out and had to be shipped back to the manufacturer for warranty repair and was gone for a few weeks. Soon after the warrant expired, the 2nd monitor went out and is now nothing more than a paper weight because the repairs are about 75% of a brand new one. I usually am a fan of Samsung, not in this case.
Great monitor, clear picture, no glare 
2008-06-14
I've had this monitor for almost a year now, and the only complaint I have is that the stand is rather short. It works for me as I'm only 5'4, but if my boyfriend uses it, at 6'1, he has to look down. Otherwise, it's a great monitor and has served me very well. :)
A reasonably good monitor 
2008-05-28
I bought this monitor three weeks back and it adds beauty to my desk. Some pros and cons,
+ Wide screen
+ Sharp and clear display
+ Easy setup
+ Worth the money
- Fixed stand
Caution: Make sure your PC (motherboard) supports wide screen resolution.
Great LCD Monitor for the price 2008-05-09
This thing is awesome.
Only negative thing about it is the blue LED light bleeds out the bottom right hand corner of the monitor.
The color is awesome, and playing games on it is great no ghosting. I would recommend this to any gamer.
Squat screen -- better for DVDs than work 
2008-04-04
This is a squat monitor -- more appropriate as a dorm room TV/DVD player than a work station. The resolution is good and the colors crisp as could be -- but know what you're buying. It's no taller than a typical 17" and everything looks stretched, even after adjustments.

Dead pixels? 
2008-03-10
First got this monitor and it had a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen.
So right away something is wrong with it.
Sure they give you a warranty but YOU pay the shipping, which today is around $40.
Just not worth it for 1 dead pixel. But hey SAMSUNG HAS LOST MY BUSINESS.
It does work fast and other than it hurts my eyes I have had no real complaints.
It gets 3 stars. I would personally buy this in a store and have it checked for dead pixels before i purchased or get a different brand monitor.
Nice screen, Great upgrade 2008-01-31
I bought this monitor as an upgrade to a 15" Gateway LCD. I don't even think i can say "apples and oranges". The new samsung has beautiful brightness and is a good size widescreen for everyday use.
At work i use a 21" Dell Trinitron and thought I'd never want to get rid of it. If they got me a samsung, I'd hand them over the "boat anchor" pretty fast. Not necessary for space, like at home.
Back to the Samsung. It's beautiful. It's bright. It worked fine without the software for me. Once i got my DVI cable in the mail, i hooked up to my 5 year old Radeon and **boom** full resolution. I was amazed!! I had convinced myself that my video would have to be upgraded as well to push the higher resolutions allowed for this but it was not an issue.
The first issue I have is 1 single stuck pixel. it's off to the top-right. It's stuck blue, so it's not a huge deal. Hopefully it stays the way it is and doesn't kill off anyjmore pixels.
The other issue is i get a flicker on the bottom of the screen, from time-to-time. I don't know whether this is due to my monitor, cable, video card or what. There's so many factors and i don't have a second machine to prove it's not the monitor or cable. At this point I have to assume it's more due to the ancient machine.
No regrets, i love this monitor. It was recommended to me (actually, the 22 inch version was but i dont' have $$$ or space in my cabinet) and i'll carry down the recommendation.
Edit: Still working great, weeks later. Periodically there's some screen jump at the bottom of the screen. I honestly have no way to pinpoint whether it's the video card, monitor or cable-my PC and video card are 5 years old, so there is definite posibility that the video card would be the issue.
As for the dead pixel, well, I forgot about it until i was reading over my review a second time. It's not an issue.
Samsung 906BW 2008-01-26
This is an excellent monitor, purchased for my wife at Christmas. I rebuilt her computer with Windows XP/SP2c and the monitor came to life flawlessly.
Excellent flat monitor 2008-01-25
The Samsung 906bw 19 inch monitor was my choice to replace my 15 inch crt tmonitor. The monitor specifications are good and the picture detail and color is tremendous. It meets my requirements and I look forward to using it. I am very happy with each of my Samsung electronic products.
