Extra monitor for iMac -- 2010-03-04
My iMac (17") developed some annoying vertical lines, so I needed a new monitor. I had to order an adaptor from Apple, but this monitor was reasonably priced, and I couldn't be happier with the final result. The recommended resolution did not fill the entire screen, so with a little experimenting, I found a resolution that looks great and fills the entire screen. My expectations have been met.
Great For a Mac Mini -- 2010-03-03
I originally preferred a Dell monitor for my new (late 2009) Mac Mini. However, it went off sale so I found the HP 2009m. I could not be happier.
The display is beautiful and bright. I never thought I would like a glossy screen, but I have no problems and the colors on the screen really pop. The glossy black finish around the monitor and the aluminum-looking pedestal are reminiscent of an Apple monitor so it fits in pretty good with current Apple styling.
The speakers may not be the highest quality, but with a bit of equalization in iTunes they sound fine to me and I am happy with them. However, if you are an audiophile you won't like them. The volume on the monitor is a little strange (as are all the controls) but I simply leave it at the highest setting and then use the Mac's volume controls.
All the documentation I read said the monitor only included a VGA cable. I was prepared to buy a DVI to connect to the mini-DVI adapter included with the Mac Mini. However, to my surprise a regular DVI cable was included. It's listed on the box and all the packaging information so I assume mine was not a fluke and they all include both a VGA and DVI cable.
I would happily recommend this monitor to anyone, especially if you are buying a Mac Mini.

Two Thumbs Up. -- 2010-03-09
I bought this off [...] via Amazon while on the road since I had just bought a PS3 and didn't want to watch Blu-ray and play the PS3 for the first time on the hotel TV. I talked myself into this being ok since I was getting a computer monitor out of the deal that I can use when I get home. So far I'm pleased on both accounts. I plugged my laptop into it just to try it out and it looked like a very large, very sharp computer screen to me, played around with it a bit but haven't used it as a monitor again yet.
I think it looks excellent as an HDTV for PS3 games ("MLB 10: The Show" and "Bioshock 2" so far)and for movies, DVD and Blu-ray alike. I do agree with some others that it doesn't have the best horizontal (I think that's right, meaning you wouldn't want to sit on the floor and look up at it) viewing angle. It tilts a bit (20 degrees I believe) which helps. I used the PS3's suggested settings and set the color and sound on the monitor to Dynamic and although I'm no videophile I think it looks awesome. The sound isn't great but it's not unbearable and I wasn't expecting full dynamic sound from monitor speakers. That's all I got I guess, no buyer's remorse from me (until my wife finds out I bought a PS3 and TV while I was gone).
Excellent! -- 2010-03-08
I was looking for a PC monitor + HDTV big enough to fit in my home office. After researching for the right model, I came to this and followed all the comments about it.
I did have some troubles trying to get the maximum resolution with my home PC, but figured out the video card was not able to keep up with it. I get a different result with my home notebook, and the video resolution I get from my TV signal is awesome.
I had to play a little bit with the color settings to max out the capabilities of this monitor-TV. But in general, I'd say it surpassed my expectations.

Fantastic Tv -- 2010-03-07
Love the picture quality. Wonderful tv. Tv was sent faster then expected was very happy with everything.
never buy refurbished or reconditioned. -- 2010-02-21
recondition or refurbished is nothing but 100% junk...I know because,I have a similar model and it looks and works superb. Unlike thi TH220 which I bought reconditioned and it sucks in quality of picture...it has defects galore.
don't buy refurbished

I have had this product for a few weeks now and WOW I love it. It replaced another flat screen, but the colors are so much more vivid on this one. Haven't watched a movie or TV program yet, but I do not think there will be any disappointment. Love the wide-screen, very glad I purchased it. I am on the computer much of the time due business. The text and pictures on this monitor are so much easier for me to see. I HIGHLY recommend it if you are looking to buy or upgrade your monitor.
It's big and in full HD -- 2010-03-08
I connected this to my laptop with and HDMI cable which enables the display to produce full HD picture and its beautiful. The speakers don't have much low end and don't get very loud but I didn't purchase this product for the sounds it makes. The picture is crystal clear and thats all I care about.

Great Buy! -- 2010-03-08
This is my 3rd Samsung Monitor purchase. I use these on my macs. My MacPro (tower) now has 2 side by side monitors including this new one. My MacBook Pro is hooked up to another Samsung Monitor. The brightness is better on this newer model than the SyncMaster 226BW. Having these side by side you can tell the difference but both are still great. The SyncMaster 2233 is 50,000:1 vs 3,000:1 on the 226BW. I do a lot of graphics and this new monitor is great.
Great HD Monitor -- 2010-02-28
Solid Samsung display. I have a Samsung 46" HDTV and have been happy with both of these. Only thing that's missing are more ways to adjust this monitor - height, etc. All you can do is tilt it a little.

This is a great monitor. Very crisp and well worth the money. I was very pleased with the ease to set it up and begin enjoying it. Ordering from Amazon was fast and easy.
This is a great monitor! -- 2010-03-01
I'd love to go over all the technical specs for this amazing monitor, but there are already well written reviews that contain that information. I came from a 720p 19 inch HD monitor by Gateway, this is worlds better. Colors jump off the screen and DVD movies have never looked better on my PC. I highly recommend this over any others.

ask for refund -- 2010-03-03
when i finished add it to my cart, it doesnot show the shipping information on the left side, which always has the option for super free save shipping, i thought this was also free shipping as a default same as others. so i place order, finally it showed that i have already paid $47 for shipping, it is ridicules, ha. why it does not remind me of the shipping information, instead it make a $47 shipping as default, right now i have paid $60 to ship it back. hopefully i can get the refund immediately asap. next time more attention should be taken on all the procedures.
Great monitor! -- 2010-02-01
I purchased this monitor as a X-Mas gift for my daughter's computer to replace her smaller monitor. It arrived on time and was simple plug-n-play set up. works great, looks good and she can see all of those "evil monsters" she kills on her game easier. Oh, she can see her term papers easier too! :) Great price!

Good value TV, good for PC monitor -- 2010-03-08
For what I paid, this is an excellent TV/PC monitor. I got this to be my gaming computer monitor and also a small HDTV for the office and so far it has not disappointed. I have played games such as Modern Warfare 2, Bioshock, Company of Heroes, Fallout 3, etc. There is almost no visible tearing. The picture for HD cable is very good. If I had to give a downside it would be that the monitor may be a little dark but I almost never think of this issue.
not that you need another review -- 2010-03-06
After owning the unit for about 3 months i have found an answer to some of my initial annoyances.
I now have quite near zero gripes about the TV/monitor. It performs well and its leaps beyond my old sharp and sylvania tube units. Digital is amazing and nothing less would or should satisfy the modern consumer.
The headphone jack while not sounding great through cable TV sounds better through my HTPC's HDMI output. Better yet is a fine quality headphone setup such as porta pros. The speakers acheive a spot in your ears after time and is made up for by the digital optical toslink output.
Picture is good and the monitor setting are awesome. ONE IMPORTANT NOTE" WHEN HOOKING UP THROUGH HDMI FOR YOUR PC THE MONITOR DISPLAY SETTING THAT ARE SO HELPFUL ARE DISABLED.

Looks Great on a Mac -- 2010-02-26
I have been a Mac user for 10 years, have had a 30" and 20" Apple Cinema Display in the past. I purchased this monitor as an alternative to spending the high price on an Apple monitor. It works so well for me that I am considering buying a second so I can run dual displays. The only annoyances are the small reflection that the plastic body surrounding the screen itself puts off. A few days later the slight reflection did not bother me at all. Once in a while coming out of sleep mode the monitor will have a hard time grabbing the signal and will give me static. A quick tap of the power button off and on fixes this. Overall, no problems what so ever with this monitor. I have used it now connected to my MacBook Pro 15.1" and also my Mac Mini.
Great monitor -- 2010-01-30
This monitor was basically the best price in that size range. And 23 inch is huge, I wouldn't want a larger screen unless it was for watching from across the room, like a TV.

widescreen hp monitor -- 2010-03-05
This is a replacement for the old monitor I had and it's great. The first one they sent could not be color balanced, this one is great. Good size, perfect color. They are great in customer response. I'd highly recommend them to anybody looking for a great price & product.
Not lovin' it -- 2009-12-30
I'm on my third HP laptop/PC system. Generally my purchases have been problem-free, which is why I continued to go back to HP. However, this monitor -- which I am using with the Pavilion 6240 -- has been a problem.
One issue is the integrated speakers, which are weak and lack sound volume & quality, imo.
The second issue is more troubling. The screen picture always needs adjustment, especially after reboots and system changes/tweaks. The picture reverts to a horizontal picture that is slightly off-screen (horizontal right) and an off-kilter clocked image. The image issues are noticeable and require a manual fix, which are some combination of factory resets and auto-adjustment of 1, 2 or 3 clicks. What the exact combination is ... who knows? The combination that works changes from day to day. This is such an irritant.
The image control problem with this monitor is well-known. I just wish I knew about it before making the purchase. I can't wait to replace this monitor, and I will think twice before purchasing HP again.
