(More customer reviews)First I think this monitor deserved a better score than three and half stars from cnet.com. Eric Franklin always does this wobble movement test on monitors. I understand that a monitor needs to not only feel like it is made of high quality materials, but unless you live in a high earthquake area or have a lot of children running around knocking over stuff. I don't think he should take away from the monitor by hitting the side of it to test the movement of the monitor. I don't think people plan on knocking over there monitors. In the review he did for the HP w2408h he criticized the monitor's rotating feature because the picture did not rotate. First your PC, laptop or internet device has to have this feature or be able to use that feature for the picture to rotate. So I would say the monitor was not hooked up to a device capable of that. Most monitors don't rotate anyway or at least most people use regular monitors that may only lean forward, back, turn left and right or raise up and down. Even though the Samsung FX2490HD does not raise up and down and only tilts back a little and not that much forward, most people aren't going to be looking at a monitor from the floor or ceiling. Plus if that is the case a lot of monitors can be wall mounted like most HDTV's. I don't like the fact that he knocks it for not having a DVI connection. I understand that most PC gamers need this to view their games at a higher quality, but most HDTVs, monitors even PC's or laptops, cameras, and other various electronics that use cables require you to purchase higher quality cables to get the best picture or video possible anyway. And sure some eletronics include the cables or connections that people want but most don't have everything included. And also some PC's DVI output often do not support HDMI audio so the owner of the PC would have to buy an extra cable or adapter anyway.
I DID NOT see any green tent or color when watching a HD DVD, Blu-Ray DVD & DVD movie during playback! And that was before I decided to mess with the calibration options on this monitor. And with almost any HDTV/Monitor or video/picture type electronics the user often with have to calibrate it to their liking so I don't see how this monitor could be knocked for that.
My Cons: The design of the Samsung FX2490HD is very slim and styish, but the design also makes this monitor appear smaller than other 24in monitors in it's class even though it is a 24in monitor that is larger than most stock monitors that people purchase.
Here is the monitor page as well as the Full Spec sheet page info: [...]
One fact is that the correct Full Resolution is: 1920x1080p not 1920x1440 and the correct Dynamic Contrast Ratio is:5,000,000:1 not 1,000,000:1
I confirmed this through a chat session on the Samsung website and through looking at the real Spec sheet, which I put a link up for this in my pros section for this monitor. My experience with this monitor so far has been Excellent. I couldn't ask for a better monitor!
