Samsung 226BW
Posted 1 year ago -
The Samsung 226BW is a value-priced 22" widescreen LCD monitor with a 16:10 aspect ratio. This monitor has a native resolution of 1680 x 1050 with its 0.282 mm pixel pitch, and boasts an incredibly fast 2ms grey-to-grey response time. It is also a very bright screen with deep blacks, coming from its 1000:1 contrast ratio and 300 cd/m2 brightness rating. The 226BW also includes a "dynamic contrast" settings that boosts the contrast ratio to 3000:1 by dynamically brightening and dimming the screen based on the content. Reviews have suggest that this featured is useful for gaming, but perhaps not in the typical Windows environment because of overblown colors. This 226BW comes in a sleek black, glossy finish. The only adjustments that you can make are by tilting the monitor front-to-back or to swivel the entire screen. This monitor includes a single VGA and a single DVI-D input. The DVI input ... PROS: (1) Very fast response time (2ms) (2) Fantastic price for the quality (shop around for ~$300) (3) Superb contrast ratio (1000:1, 3000:1 dynamic setting) (4) capable of playing 720p high definition media (5) "MagicBright" quick display setting button ... CONS: (1) Limited adjustment options (only tilt and swivel) (2) The "A", "S", "C" panel debacle (3) Limited input options (no component video, only a single DVI) (4) not 1080p (5) TN panel - fast and cheap at the expense of colour depth and viewing angles -
