The best in its price range

I had some other manufacturers' monitors ordered and unfortunately again to send back. Actually, I did not want a Samsung because Samsung I know for a rather dull picture. Still, it was now almost the last option, and amazingly, the best.

It occurred to: Eizo EV2455 (expensive, shadow), ViewSonic VG2435SM (strong halos), Asus VS24AH (ghosting), LG 24MB65PD (differences in brightness), Lenovo ThinkVision LT2323p (flat image).

The Samsung comes in a much too large cardboard box, first I thought it was maybe a 27-incher in it ;-) with stand he has a stately weight. The foot has not been tested since I mount the monitor on the wall. For this only 2 screws are loosened and then Vesa bracket can be mounted with 4 screws. However, the foot seems fairly stable and at least he does not snap even unpack high as in many other devices.

The plastic of the Samsung looks forward at least not quality. It is not uniform and the edges are not clean. However one looks as actually not as accurate plan. The buttons are for very pleasant to use and also hide a help in the picture, which is quite handy.

For image quality: It is the best so far from all the monitors! Clean contrast and sharpness, great colors! Currently working with the MagicBright setting. There are noticing neither pronounced nor shade halos. Also no dead pixels yet. Only a slight sparkle effect is noted in fine test images of the monitor test program (Eizo).
