Comments on: REVIEW: Samsung SM2433BW Monitor http://benfrain.com/notepad/2009/02/review-samsung-sm2433bw-monitor.html It's about web design and writing Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:25:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Matt Richards http://benfrain.com/notepad/2009/02/review-samsung-sm2433bw-monitor.html/comment-page-1#comment-214 Matt Richards Wed, 24 Feb 2010 20:33:43 +0000 http://benfrain2.wordpress.com/2009/02/03/review-samsung-sm2433bw-monitor/#comment-214 Man, I wish I'd stumbled over this _before_ I bought one. Got mine last night, disappointed doesn't even come close to how I'm feeling. I'm a web designer and developer and had intended this display to be used both for graphic design and epic coding sessions. I don't know if this one is just faulty, but for my needs this display is practically useless. The colours are sooooo far off the mark, I must have spent a good 4 hours trying to calibrate it without satisfactory results. The text is either way too soft, even out of focus, or way too sharp causing pixel bleed. It just feels cheap on the eyes, I'm struggling to focus, it's almost as though you can see a translucent layer with the actual image about 50mm behind. I'm sending this one back tomorrow. I suppose I should have known better. Buy cheap, buy twice. Man, I wish I’d stumbled over this _before_ I bought one.

After 3 months it had a bunch of vertical, permanent, solid-colour lines appear on the screen. Sometimes bugs such as thunder flies manage to get inside the screen which is extremely annoying.
