Pros: Good luck!
Cons: There ought to be a lawsuit for this!

Pros: Good looking case, Sweet picture - after lengthy configuration trial and error.
Cons: inconsistent quality, backlight bleeding, bad default settings, washed out/overbright, horizontal viewing angle.
The Bottom Line: Whether it's a Samsung screen or not they still back it well. If you can handle any potential issues and experiment with adjustments, you might like it too.

Pros: Great picture. Ultra-fast response rate.
Cons: MagicTune calibration/control software doesn't work. Annoying bright LED.
The Bottom Line: I don't believe there is a better 22" monitor for gaming on the market today. But the MagicTune software doesn't work on my computer.

The Bottom Line: It's got big bright screen and sleek design. With three years warranty you can't go wrong. It's a well respected brand.

Pros: Huge. Beautiful Display. Excellent Response Time & Contrast Ratio. MagicBright and MagicColor!
Cons: Quirky Menu System. Annoying Bright Blue Power-On Light. Minor Backlight Bleeding.
The Bottom Line: The muscle for a gamer as well as the space for a stock trader. With outstanding specifications and a reasonable price tag, you just can't beat the Samsung 226BW.
