Released January, 2008
The Pros:Proprietary "text" mode enhances contrast and crispness for word processing use. Includes DVI cable as well as audio cable instead of just VGA, as many do. Higher max resolution than many comparably priced models.
The Cons:Noticeable backlight bleeding on top and bottom of screen. Dynamic contrast adjustment is too noticeable when watching video. Overall image quality is not as good as other Samsung monitors in this price range.
