Features

Optimize all your monitor's settings

Magictune, an integrated software program that is designed to optimize all monitor settings, and is equipped with an intuitive GUI (Graphic User Interface) which includes many more features, as compared to OSD. MagicTune software allows the average user to make display adjustments much easier, more conveniently, and accurately, yet can also satisfy the much more precise and sophisticated requirements of graphics experts.

Adjustable four-way stand

The 204B offers an ergonomic adjustable four-way stand: height (3.1"), pivot, tilt and swivel.

Get the speed you need

With MagicSpeed the 204B responds almost twice as fast as other monitors and significantly reduces the ghosting and jagged pixel effects which makes it ideal for multimedia-driven applications, playing games, animation or for general users viewing full-motion video over the web.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good performance at an affordable price, September 8, 2006
By 
Adam Knox (Hartford, CT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Samsung SyncMaster 204B 20.1-Inch LCD Monitor (Silver) (Electronics)
I received my 204B yesterday, and thus far I am very pleased. The construction is very sturdy and I experienced zero screen defects upon setting it up. The display is very clear and bright -- I had to actually dull it down a bit, as it was hurting my eyes. At 1600x1200, the clarity is amazing. Colors are lifelike and vivid, and the fast response time means there's basically no ghosting at all -- even when watching high-motion h264 encoded video (much more demanding than even DVD).

As an aside -- I ordered this monitor on Tuesday and received it Wednesday, with standard shipping. That alone made this experience all the more worthwhile.

Since I generally like seeing this in reviews, I figured I'd present a little "pros and cons" list.

Pros:

- 1600x1200 resolution is very crisp with a good amount of real estate for applications, and a fully supported 4:3 aspect ratio for almost every program/game.

- Solidly constructed and good looking.

- DVI-D and VGA connections for versatility. And it comes with the DVI cable!

- Image quality is very good, and the colors are amazing -- after quite a bit of tweaking.

- Highly adjustable, with up/down and tilting as well as rotation (perfect for working on documents).

Cons:

- No handle -- you have to grab it by its sides, which is sometimes difficult with the thin bezel.

- Takes a while to set up the picture the way you like it -- the display is just plain too vivid out of the box. There are quite a few "auto" or "wizard" modes that adjust brightness and colors using a pre-set scheme, but the only way to truly get it looking right is to adjust it manually over the course of a few hours.

- The buttons on the front aren't flush with the monitor and are quite sensitive, so you may find that they're constantly being pushed while moving things around on your desk.

Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this monitor to anyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Trouble with Samsung Customer Service, May 11, 2007
This review is from: Samsung SyncMaster 204B 20.1-Inch LCD Monitor (Silver) (Electronics)
This is a nice, well-designed moniter. Good looking, and with a very sharp picture. Since purchasing the item 6 months ago, I've had 2 horizontal lines drop out of the display. I've been working with Samsung Customer Service to get it corrected for that whole time. They're offering me everything EXCEPT a new unit (which is what I want) saying the 204B Silver unit is backordered. Hard to believe it's been backordered for 6 months. They want to give me a black unit, or a Silver unit of a downgraded model. I rate it Poor Quality and Poor Service.

Delivered and working perfectly. I am, however, having dificulties trying to get the fonts correct for viewing internet sites, e-mail, etc using full screen at the 1600x1200 resolution.
