Product Description

Product Description

Imagine a sculpture that doubles as a valuable business tool. That describes the Samsung 2233SW 21.5" widescreen LCD monitor perfectly. Its soft curves, rich piano black finish and clear acrylic accent bar lend distinctive style and sophistication to your desk. Its clean look extends even to the back, with an integrated housing that hides all your cables. And when you turn it on, the 2233SW more than lives up to expectations. The 16:9 aspect ratio provides more room for multitasking. 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution gives you the highest resolution possible. The 5ms response time and 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio mean razor-sharp, detailed motion video. Exclusive Samsung technologies give you rich color with natural skin tones. With Aspect Ratio Control, the 2233SW won't stretch 4:3 content to fill the widescreen. Whether you're viewing 5:4 or 4:3 content, it will always be distortion free. The 2233SW also offers you a Custom Key, for quick, one-touch access to the Samsung picture optimization function you use the most. And an energy-saving Power Consumption Control lets you set your 2233SW to turn off automatically at a specific time. Beauty inside and out. With the Samsung 2233SW, it's not hard to imagine.

5.0 out of 5 stars great monitor, and cheap too!, April 5, 2009

By	D. Barrows - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was looking for a nice large monitor to attach to my 15 inch macbook pro. I[...]The only problem i have encountered is it is a bit difficult to get the base attached to the monitor. The socket in which it goes is very tight and it took a while and a lot of force to get it in there. The directions about this part were very unclear.

Once the monitor was set up i plugged it in to the wall, then my computer through the included dvi cable and powered it on. Picture showed up in full resolution right away with no need to install drivers or make any adjustments.

This monitor works great as a second monitor, or even as the only monitor with the macbook closed. THe picture is great and this monitor has a 16x 9 aspect ratio instead of the normal 16x10. This makes it great for watching movies or online tv shows.

Great product and great value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic monitor. Inexpensive and beautiful. Gamer review. 5ms response, April 27, 2009

By	J. J. Marino "Geekasaurus Rex" (Rochester, New York) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I am using this monitor right now as a backup monitor for my main which died last week. I got this one because of 2 main things; price and repsonse time. If you are into games then you know what a fast response time means. It means less video tearing and faster black to black. My last monitor was 8ms and I thought that it was perfect. Now with this one I am very impressed.

Here are the main specs:
<> Response time: 5ms.
<> Viewable Screen Size: 21.5 inches
<> Viewing Angle: Horizontal 170deg & Vertical 160 deg
<> Contrast Ratios are; Dynamic 15000:1 & Native 1000:1
<> Brightness: 300 cd
<> Resolution: 1920 x 1080

Pros.

>> Price
>> Speed
>> Controls
>> Real HD

Cons.
<< Stand is kind of flimsy
<< Piano black finish shows Cheetos and fingerprints too easily.

Overall 5-star and a great product.

Thank you for reading my review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't get any better than this, July 20, 2009

By	rsinj - See all my reviews

I am very partial towards Samsung monitors in general. They are simply quality products. Sure, there are others that are less expensive, but not with the specs of the 2233SW and not with the brand name of Samsung behind it.

I learned long ago that one of the most important key features with any monitor is the dot pitch - the lower, the better. In general, monitors have pitch ratios at 0.28 and higher - this produces a less crisp image and text. Some of the better LCDs out there are at 0.27 and a couple at 0.26. The 2233SW blows them all away with 0.248 - this is unheard of. When you hook it up for the first time with the optimal settings, you'll have an ear-to-ear smile - the picture is that good...even using the VGA connector.

For the price Amazon is offering this monitor, and the current Samsung rebate, you cannot beat it. Others which are not as good cost more - even before the rebate. I purchased two, shipped/arrived quickly, no bad pixels, I've used them with both the VGA and DVI connectors. As with every other Samsung monitor I've owned, this one is no different - extremely impressive.
