Samsung 245BW??

[RussianHAXOR]

I am looking to buy one of these, possibly to keep but currently to hold me over until i RMA my other 24". If i am truely impressed then i might keep it as i have noticed that prices on this monitor have gone pretty low. What i want to know is, does this monitor suffer from the same things that my ACER X241 has... that mainly being... my dark colors on my monitor look absolutely horrid and it looks impossible to watch ANY movie while its fading to black or from black. The blacks on this monitor are absolutely terrible. I think my pricerange ends at 500 but im looking at many options.

Yeah i was wondering the same thing. I may purchase a 245bw in a few weeks for $350 and i was wondering if it was worth it.

For PC-only use the 245BW is still worth it, and based on it's super low price these days, probably more so than ever.

I don''t know how the darks are on it. I know that the 2493HM is OK with darks, but needs a bit of fiddling and changing gamma modes to get things proper, so this may be the case as well for the 245BW.

Otherwise it is a pretty solid TN pc display. Just don't hook up consoles to it.

I got a pair of these for my wife, she loves them. I think they look good, no ghosting when I was messing around with COD-4

Why wouldn't you recommend hooking up a monitor to it? Is it because the lack of ports, or other reasons.
