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.

MagicBright II

MagicBright2 is a powerful new feature that provides the best viewing environment based on the images with six viewing modes provided; Document, Internet, Games, Sports, Movie, and Customized. In addition, Brightness, Gamma and Contrast are pre-configured for each mode, and you can conveniently select the best preset environment simple by using the MagicBright2 button.

MagicColor

MagicColor creates an advanced image quality by creating fresh images with vivid color, exceptional clarity, and contrast to create life-like images on screens. For each scene, MagicColor technology calculates the saturation of red, green and blue in the input signal and adjusts it to shades that the human eye judges acceptable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic value and a great monitor., December 26, 2006

By 

David "goldenocean" (B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Samsung SyncMaster 941BW 19-inch LCD Monitor - Black (Electronics)

This monitor is an absolutely incredible value for the price. Cheap, great picture, top notch color, all the quality and speed you'd expect from a Samsung LCD monitor, and a really attractive design that looks great on your desk.

My only hesitation is that I think the ideal wide screen monitor is a couple inches larger than this (I use a 22" widescreen at work), but I just couldn't resist the price of this beauty when replacing my NEC MultiSync 17" CRT monitor at home (which was a very good monitor as well in it's day with great color).

You'll definitely want to drop the brightness level on this Samsung though as the default factory setting is pretty hard on the eyes.

I'm using the DVI connection and recommend you do the same if at all possible - DVI really helps sharpen up LCD's.

If your wallet is feeling a little thick lately, I'd get Samsung's 22", but otherwise you'll still be thrilled with this monitor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleased, April 4, 2007

This review is from: Samsung SyncMaster 941BW 19-inch LCD Monitor - Black (Electronics)

I looked for about a month and a half looking for the best flat screen moniter at a reasonable price. I looked various places online and at box stores. I found this with the rebate to be a great deal!! This included looking at various reviews and prior customer comments. I am extremely pleased with the performance it has provided. I started by looking at regular flat screen monitors but was happy to find this widescreen. The brightness issue some have mentioned is not a problem for me but I suspect those who have play games without the lights on. Then it may seem too bright. I would recommend this to anyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous Value - Used on new Macbook, September 1, 2007

By 

Mark Twain (Florida, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Samsung SyncMaster 941BW 19-inch LCD Monitor - Black (Electronics)

I am using this monitor with my new Macbook. I figured since law school will require lots of research, extending my desktop a bit would be wise. So far I have used the extra space to arrange calendar events with work, ran multiple internet browsers at once, arranged files on my hard-drives, and completed a research project with word and safari.

The monitor is plug & play. It does not come with a $30 cord, regardless, it's still the best. On Macbooks you need a mini-dvi to dvi-d converter, and you can get them online here at Amazon, but make sure you order it from the United States for shipping length purposes. Also, the cord that runs from that converter to the monitor need only be 3 feet unless you're working with an unusual amount of distance between your monitor and your notebook. I have no experience running from a desktop, but then a 6 ft. cord should be effective but you'll want to measure and please buy it online, it's a dvi-D cable. And you need a double-male headed cord, because if you don't then it won't fit.

That's all you need, and sold for an incredible price. When I started using computers regularly, at age 13, a monitor like this a) wasn't around; and b) was out of this universe expensive when it finally was available. You wouldn't have scoffed to see this monitor priced for $2000, 6 years ago. A flat-screen saves a tremendous amount of space than the old tube-monitors; and wide-screen essentially adds another workable document into the concurrent tasking situation.

On my computer, I can extend my desktop, or I can have mirrored desktops. The resolution is very good, too. Macbook users won't have to worry about any weird resolution as indicated by other reviews. Take my word, you'll be fine, but if you're doing insane graphic stuff you should do hard research on screen resolutions; thankfully I am not. The operating system in Macbook handles everything automatically. You don't need to figure anything else out.

For laptop users, this machine gives the best of both worlds: the portability of a laptop; the screen-size of a desktop. Used with an external mouse, you can create a fantastic work station, nothing more. It has its own A/C plug because it is not powered from the computer itself, so you should making room on your surge protector for this one!

Negatives: 1) Does not come with $30 cable; 2) requires a dvi-d converter for many laptops; 3) doesn't adjust height/angle; 4) not a glossy screen.

Still the best.
