Good or not? (Samsung SM-245B 24)

twicksisted · Dec 20, 2007

I just ordered one of these (next day delivery) should be with me when i get home from work tomorrow:
Samsung SM-245B 24

Anyone else here have one of these... and what is the general consensus on them... good or not?

great monitor!

aaah thats what i like to hear... was gonna buy the Dell 24"... (not the ultrasharp but the standard one) but they had one left in stock and by the time i rergistered an account and got my card it was gone!!!

Tomorrow is my last day of work and I have a weeks leave, so i really wanted a new toy to play with when i got home

Kinda spur of the moment choice on the samsung... but i think I chose ok in the end

samsung is the leader in lcd technology, you made a great choice

off topic, twicksisted, how did you get a result like on speedtest.net afaik no company in the uk (or most other places ) offer anything near 50mbps dsl :ohwell:

twicksisted · Dec 20, 2007

its my work line, and not DSL... 100up / 100down though its not limited at that and can burst as far as the ISP has bandwidth if needed hehe

Optimum performance - Network speeds up to 10Gbps

Its so fast that the speedtest servers cant keep up with it and give wacked readings... each one I do is vastly different... on either upload or download

my homes a lot slower... sky 16mb down with 1mb up... (though i only get just over 8mb / 1mb)

Just bought for 239€. Seems to be a great monitor :toast:

I read somewhere that the actual panels that they use arent as good as the DELL panels... though to be honest im using two HP "el cheapo" 19" screens at the moment so anything bigger will be better.
