Customer Reviews

Good in principle, but in practice....
Replacing an old Dell flatscreen, I read up on a lot of monitors. The 226BW got good reviews in a number of places, including here.

I was very disappointed with the image when I first set it up, but assumed I could adjust it extensively. The built-in controls are somewhat limited if you're using a digital connection, but again, I assumed once I had the main OSD suite - MagicTune - installed it'd be hunky dory. But oh no.

I've got a new machine running 64 bit Vista Home Premium. The disc that accompanies the 226BW points you in the dreiction of the Samsung website to download MagicTune for Vista. I installed it from the Samsung site, but on restart got a message saying "This computer does not support MagicTune", pointing me straight back to the website where I'd just downloaded it from.

Hunting around, it seems a lot of people have this problem, but a solution has yet to present itself. The upshot is I have very limited adjustment controls over the monitor, and I'm stuck with a ropey, thoroughly unsatisfactory image.

If you're using 64-bit Vista, I'd avoid the 226BW, or at least wait until Samsung have updated their software so it's not crippled by compatibility issues.

Fantastic all round monitor !
I ordered this monitor on a friday morning ! And i recieved it the following saturday morning! Excellent delivery service!(express delivery).I read various reviews and i was a little wary about the whole monitor grade fiasco! But i went for it anyway! I was not disapointed the screen itself is beautiful ! very classy looking ! And its huge ! Im a big gamer and i was thinking of going for the samsung 24" but the 22" is plenty big enough ! The screen quality fantastic ! no dead pixels! All the colours are so bright and vibrant it makes gaming a joy all over again ! (tested with prey,bioshock,crysis all look fantastic ! especially prey because of the colours !)there's no blurring at all with the super fast response time it runs like a dream ! Movies also look fantastic! I really recomend this monitor and the price is great too! so do yourself a favour plump for this monitor its fantastic! BRAVO SAMSUNG !

Nice .. but
Sure it is big, stylish and produces pretty nice images ... but when I look at my screen with the blank screensaver (so a black screen) in the dark it feels like I am looking at a torchlicht. And that when the brightness is at 0... don't know if this qualifies for a return, but I guess I'll soon find out if the costumer service of Amazon.co.uk is up to par with Amazon.com...
