User Reviews for Samsung SyncMaster 915N

Reviewed by: magrincinho

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: 8ms response

Weaknesses: buttons are small

Overall Evaluation: The buttons are small but u can used to them quickly. This is my first LCD and I am pleased. I got mine for about 300 and it seems to be just fine for the things I use it for. I have a Nikon D70 and i view my sports pictures on this screen and it looks as if I was there. Took a couple days to adjust contrast and everything but now it is perfect. Highly recommended.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Super Large Screen. I was previously using a 17" Dell CRT..HUGE Difference. My eyes Don't burn anymore,,no more headaches! Everything "fits" now. I like the " Tilt" feature..NICE.

Weaknesses: A little difficult getting the correct brightness..took me two days of playing around with it. The buttons are impossible to see..and no instructions if they lock(Hold LEFT button in 6 seconds)

Overall Evaluation: I would purchase this monitor again in a flash. With the rebate (which I haven't gotten yet!) I don't think you will find a better monitor for the price. I paid (after rebate) $298 w/shipping. NewEgg.com

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: bright 19", sharp vibrant colors, no dead pixels, user friendly adjustments, 3yr warranty, 8ms refresh, 700:1 contrast

Weaknesses: buttons hard to read, stand does not swivel, no DVI(if you really need it, but it's great as is)

Overall Evaluation: Had this about a month and I must say I'm impressed. The lack of DVI is not a factor really, since the picture is incredible even without DVI. Buttons are hard to read since everything is black color. I have a couple 17" LCD's and the screen difference is really noticable with this 19" next to them. Most people will have to adjust the brightness, since I think it's too bright. Colors are really good and the picture is sharp. The 8ms refresh is awesome in games, no ghosting at all. What else can I say, just get it and you'll know what I mean. You'll be happy as me.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Excellent contrast ratio. No dead pixels noticed so far. Internal power supply is a surprise and is appreciated

Weaknesses: onle gripe (which is minor) is it doesn't have a DVI input.

Overall Evaluation: An absolutely beautiful LCD. I've tried it on an nVidia MX 200, nVidia GeForceFX 5200, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro and an ATI Radeon x850XT Platinum Edition, On each vidoe card, it runs magnificently. No ghosting whatsoever, it arrived in operfect condition...NOT ONE DEAD PIXEL!!!! As usual, Fedex shipping was 36 hours early and delivered in excellent condition. HIGHLY recommended.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Bright, sharp picture in text and graphics, colors look great, and no ghosting during games.

Weaknesses: none

Overall Evaluation: I traded in my DVI LCD for this one because I kept getting ghosting in games with DVI and the colors always seemed a little off to me. I hear others complain about the lack of DVI, but I like the analog better. The 8ms response time is excellent in games and text is sharp. Great monitor, especially for the price.
