Usually ships in 1 business days | | Only 5 left in stock, order soon! | | | The Samsung 206BW 20-Inch Digital/Analog Widescreen LCD Monitor offers razor-sharp, widescreen image clarity and a host of innovative features. The image quality of the 20-inch widescreen offers wide viewing angles with bright colors for a very favorable viewing experience. With a wider viewing angle (160-degree vertical and horizontal viewing angle) Samsung makes sure you can see objects on your screen even when you're leaning over to grab a snack. With 16.7 million colors bombarding your rods and cones, you'll be impressed with the clearer, brighter imagery that this wide spectrum monitor has to offer. Another impressive feature of the 206BW is the pixel pitch, or the distance between pixels. This specification is usually measured in millimeters, and the smaller the pitch the sharper the image. Samsung offers a remarkable 0.258-millimeter pixel pitch for outstanding image clarity. The most talked about spec associated with LCD monitors is the measure of the difference of brightness levels between the brightest white and the darkest dark--the contrast ratio. With a contrast ration of 3000:1, this monitor assures crisp, easy-to-view images. Lastly, Samsung has designed this monitor with MagicColor to improve hue and saturation of colors. This function also adjusts mid-level colors to shades that the human eye accepts as natural. By enhancing the contrast ratio with MagicColor, fresh images with exceptional clarity spring to life, even on a darker screen. Connectivity is also important when choosing a monitor. The 206BW features an advanced dual interface that is capable of handling both analog video signals for present use, and digital video signals for the future. Whatever the signal sources are, this monitor will process those signals to give you an optimal viewing experience. In addition, this monitor features a standard D-Sub 15-pin connection and a fast DVI-D connection for your high-resolution demands. Other features include compatibility with all major operating systems (including Microsoft Vista's Premium standards) and an ultra-fast 2ms response time that virtually eliminates the "blur" that is present in 25, 16, and 12ms monitors (this is especially good news for gamers). Plus, with Samsung you have Magic Technologies, such asMagicBright3 and MagicTune, right at your fingertips. MagicBright3 is a new feature that provides the best viewing environment depending on the contents of the image you are watching, and MagicTune is Samsung's OSD (On-Screen Display) solution that provides a simple, convenient adjustment to the best image quality. The 206BW is designed to meet VESA standards to accommodate any display type. This monitor is both wall and arm mountable, so it fits almost any environment on your desk or the wall. | | | |

 Wonderful! Samsung SyncMaster 206BW 20" LCD Monitor Jun 13, 2008
I recently purchased (2) of these montiors for my home office and I have really enjoyed their quality and performance. They were purchased as well for a terrific price, compared to 'many, many' other monitors on the market with less quality. I would highly recommend this montior to anyone!
Can't go wrong Apr 27, 2008
I bought one about a year ago, couple of months later a friend of mine bought the same one. About 3 months ago I recommended it to my nephew. Everyone's happy. This is a great monitor for the money. Ran Pixel buddy on all 3 monitors and no dead pixels. Samsung is a great monitor company with real bang for the buck. I'd buy another in a heartbeat.
 Samsung Delivers a Good Monitor Apr 19, 2008
I did a lot a homework before buying a monitor. I wanted a big monitor but didn't have $1800 for a 30" screen (my custom-built PC was $1800). So when I saw this Samsung model for only $269 it was easy to justify getting two screens, 40" of real-estate, at less than 1/3 of the cost of the 30" model.
I suspected the 2ms response was more hype than substance - possibly manipulated data for marketing purposes. Much to my surprise, it is an accurate spec. More to the point, it can handle my games with all settings on and set to high (i.e. resolution, anti-aliasing, etc.). Also, DVD motion is quite fluid, although it may be darker than some people prefer. Text is clear - but only at the receommended resolution (which also makes the font smaller).
The base is rather solid - despite what I've read elsewhere. Settings allow for a lot of customization, although I haven't really used that feature much yet.
Overall, I would buy another one, and probably will as I expand my monitor set up to 3 in the near future.
Samsung 206BW Jan 16, 2008
This is my first LCD monitor. Color Seems to be good. Took a little to adjust but all seems to be fine. Color not as brillant as Plasma Screens but for non critical purposes this is a great low cost Screen.
If cost is no object and you are into Graphic work it would be worth seeing this and others in action before purchasing but top quality will require 2+x's $$ to get much better.

No More S/A/C Jan 15, 2008
I just bought this monitor over the weekend. The first thing I did when I opened the box was look for the letter after the model number indicating whether the panel was a Samsung panel or not. I was surprised that there actually is no character anymore. I don't know if there is another indication, but I'm not too concerned.
So far, after a couple days, I am really enjoying this monitor. I came from a 17" (16" Viewable) ViewSonic Flat CRT that I ran at 1600x1200. I was a little apprehensive about actually losing screen real estate, especially since my laptop has a 15.4" Widescreen that I also run at 1680x1050, but so far, I've been pleasantly surprised. I'm finding that I still have plenty of room vertically and a bit more room horizontally.
I've read other reviews talking about the fact that this monitor doesn't adjust vertically. Although I could see this being an issue, it has not been for me. The tilt has been sufficient with my monitor sitting on the main desk surface at the same level as my keyboard. I'm planning to buy a new desk that has a bit of a riser for the monitor and I expect this will make it even better.
I have a Samsung HDTV that has the same piano black bezel as this monitor and I suspect this monitor will collect dust just as the TV does, so if this is an issue for you, I would take this into consideration.
The only down side I've had so far is it seems certain menu functions are not available without installing the provided software (or are not available at all). I have this monitor connected to my Linux machine, so I won't be installing the provided software. Maybe I am missing something, but specifically the Contrast and the Auto Adjustment say they are unavailable.
I got this monitor for about $255 after rebates and all. I would recommend to anyone looking for a widescreen LCD monitor.
