    Duration of ownership: 1 Months

    Strengths: 10000:1 contrast, HDMI, DVI, and VGA inputs, 5ms response time, 1920x1200 resolution, includes both VGA, DVI, and audio cables.

    Weaknesses:Built-in speakers produce puny sound and touch-sensitive buttons on front are impossible to see.

    Overall Evaluation: You're not going to find a better 24" monitor at anywhere near this price. So long as you plan to use it with external speakers and can memorize that the power "button" is on the far right bottom then this is an amazing monitor. The touch-sensitive "buttons" are not buttons at all, just areas on the bottom right of the frame that you touch to power the monitor on/off and/or switch inputs, etc. That's futuristic and high tech, I guess, but a bit of a pain to use in practice.It's very nice that it comes with VGA, DVI, and even Audio cables (but buy your own HDMI cable!).People who see this monitor invariably comment and say something like, "Ooh! Nice monitor." Ultimately you get a monitor for the picture, and it's gorgeous.

    Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

    Strengths: It has 3 different connections HDMI, DVI, and Analogbuilt in speakers, the monitor rotates

    Weaknesses:menu button, touch screen, can't see in the dark and hard to see sometimes in the lighted areas.

    Overall Evaluation: This is my first owned samsung LCD,this monitor is great for gaming and everyday use. I love the use of the different connections that are available. I have two pcs with DVI and the other Analog. I can switch between the two, via menu button touch screen. The only thing that i don't like is the touch screen menu buttons, they are hard to see in poorly lighted areas and at night you can'tsee them at all, besides that, this is a great monitor.

    Duration of ownership: 8 Days

    Strengths: Excellent quality.Touch panel buttons.Rotation support.HDMI, VGA, and DVI inputs.3 year warranty.

    Weaknesses:None so far

    Overall Evaluation: I spent a lot of time looking around and researching panels and choose this one. I have been looking at the Gateway and HP 24" panels and this one seems to combine the best of both but with a much better warranty and overall better quality. I love this monitor and have zero regrets. Note that I don't bother using the built-in speakers so I can't comment on them. The stand is useful as well.
