Wow I just picked up the first (non work) monitor I've used for what must be years. I've been relying on my projector and laptops and I have to say I am dead impressed. Its a Samsung 2232 pebble styled thing and its going to be my photo editing screen.

Looked out my old Media centre and connected it up and the display is so bright and so clear its knocked my socks off, I even have CS2 on this computer which I had forgotten about which is a stroke of luck, its not as fast as I'd like being based on a mobile chip but the case is a Silverstone one and it looks the business

Yep 22", its ideal for me for photo editing as I can sit at a close distance and still see the whole shot, any bigger and I'd have to keep leaning back

Bargain price too

Looks pretty, I like the aesthetics of the stand.

divine · 26-02-2009, 21:57

Actually, the stand is one thing I don't like, it's stupidly wobbly. Even typing makes the screen wobble a bit whereas I can pretty much kick the desk and my other screen doesn't budge.

I like it too Feek but Divine is right it isn't the most stable base in the world

Considering it cost me £100 I'm happy

nice, a good friend of him bought the 25" top notch awesome version last summer - those monitors are rather nice

I've got exactly the same monitor, it's great for computer usage but rubbish for media playback. Fortunately since then i've purchased a sweet 32" HDTV which i have hooked up via VGA so all is well in the world.

For the price though, can't be beat.
