I just picked up a Samsung 2232 and wow it's a piece of shit. I have a dead pixel in the middle of the screen amd there is soo much light bleed coming from the sides its damn near white. Can't say I'm too impressed. Why do you guys like these things so much?
 
Because many of us have received good monitors? :confused:

What's your question, really? It's like saying "I ordered a Western Digital hard drive and it died. Why do you Western Digital nuts like Western Digital drives so much?" It's an easy question to answer.
 
No my Buddy just bought a Samsung LCD last year as well tons of bleed from the sides, I figured new model maybe they would fix it. Nope, Is this amount of bleed normal? I can't imagine why so many people love Samsung I've never seen a good one.

Westinghouse 24" L2410NM Anygood? Slower responsetime and less ratio though. How does this do for gaming anyone know?
 
Apparently Samsung doesn't like you and every time your names pops up, they send you a POS defective monitor. You're not alone though. There's a classified, detailed list of people, held by Samsung, that states who receives bad monitors. I'm on the good list because I bought a Sammy 245BW. Sure its got some backlight bleeding and poor viewing angles, but I got 2304000 perfectly working pixels.
 
Sorry I'm just bitter I waited in line in Canada at 5am this morning to get this thing and its a huge dissapointment. So I'm cold and pissy. I dunno what to get to replace it now since I figured this thing was going to be the best thing to get.

If it was Canada Computers that you waited in line for (I think they gave away free samsung monitors boxing day sale)

They have a very well known reputation for being a samsung refurbished depot. They sell samsung monitors and TV's for dirt cheap prices because they are all refurbished crap.

Refurbished is guy gets his monitor from futureshop or NCIX or where ever, see's there is tons of back light bleed and dead pixels and returns it. Places like futureshop then send back all the returned monitors, Samsung looks at them and says they are fine and then sells them as refurbished again (without even fixing them).... to places like Canada Computers who have absolutely no return policy so your stuck with a sub par monitor or TV, no options to return it, they just say deal with the manufacturer, who in turn says that it's refurbished so tough luck.

That being said, return the monitor...don't put up with stuff like that, people should have higher standards when paying good money for electronics.
 
You should have tested the monitor at the store. Send it back under warranty and get an Apple monitor or something else.

Going on a forum and complaining gets you very little, but does show up your foolishness.

Ummm the display LCD seemed fine to me, it's not like it shows bleed much on the images they have playing LOL on Black Friday do you get a lot of chance to test out a monitor? LOL well I have hope I might be able to exchange it for a working one. But what are the chances they are going to all be bleeding this much?

On a side note would any of you guys with working Samsung monitors take a pic to show the normal amount of bleed there is?
 
Chances are that monitor also uses a TN panel, which are indicative of the problems you are complaining about. Get a nice MVA or IPS panel monitor, you will be much happier in the end.

If you got it at futureshop just return it, they are great for returns.
 
Well I love the look of it, and it's super light. But shit it doesn't work. I'm just parranoid that they wont have another one instock within 14 days so I can exchange it. I'm really giving Samsung the benefit of the doubt here. I even have a another one of these pending online from futureshop. So if it says it ships I'll return this thing and wait for the new one. I just hope the new ones isn't riddled with issues. I seriously was hoping for a great LCD since the 226BWs sounded like such a panel pain. Blah.....
 
I have a Samsung 226CW model (step up from BW) and supposedly its a guaranteed S panel. However I did pay more for it, but I didn't want to deal with Samsung's lottery games with the BW series. And after I buy it, I hear that its still inferior with the rest of the panels, it does indeed have slight input lag, and its 2ms speed is exaggerated, etc. Although mine doesn't have any issues ATM, no dead pixels, no backlight bleed in the dark with a black screen.

However, I wish it could go over 60Hz refresh rate.

Fuck it, I have a monitor, done playing these "read 100+ pages to sort through of which monitor is the best" games.

Thats what I did, I even had a guy who wrote some send me to some more links fuck.... So annoyed I like the style of this thing more than the 226bw I'm guessing it should be an updated monitor but I dunno what kinda panel..... practically regretting not just getting a 226 but whatever hopefully I get an exchange for a good one.
 
My 245bw has 0 light bleed except a very minor bit on the bottom edge that isn't noticeable. The 226bw S panel I had didn't have any to speak of. All of the 2232 backlight pictures I have seen on the internet and the ones I've seen in person look far worse than the backlight of the 226bw S panel and 245bw. I think it's that model in particular that sucks.

The 226cw panel is also garbage. Worse color, worse input lag, worse everything than 226bw S panel.
 
I am very happy with my 940b and all the other samsung monitors I have sold and own, thats why i am a samsung nut :p

There is variation with any monitor model though, I have dual 940b's and one is slightly better at reproducing colors than the other. No dead pixels or other issues though.
