I really cannot recommend this monitor enough. After holding out for an LCD for a long time, I finally plumped for the Samsung SyncMaster 226BW 22". At last a monitor with the responsiveness and clarity of a CRT monitor and at an affordable price. 2ms grey to grey and a 3000:1 contrast ratio gives superb natural colours and deep rich blacks. Sorry if this sounds like an advert but I just wanted to share it with you :mrgreen: Source games look fantastic, especially TF2 with the FOV set to max.

Samsung make the best screens imho. Shame about their dvd players (but thats another thread)

When i have enough cash for a new rig, i was thinking of getting 2 of the slightly smaller 20 inch ones.

I already have a Dell 20 inch widescreen, tis ok, but get a lot of backlight issues. I wouldnt buy another dell, only reason i got this one was because it was the cheapest one out there at the time at that size.

I know this thread is a bit old now, but I thought i would throw my hat in...

I have a Samsung 206bw which is the smaller 20.1" version (yet much more powerful and manly, lol)

I have to agree with the op that they are a great monitor. I opted for the 20" due to price and the fact that they both share the same resolution so technically the 20" should offer a sharper image - whether that would be detectable i dont know. I have to say for viewing screen size though the 22" screen will be impressive.

Everyone should get one as TF2 does look awesome - let the pwnage unfold in glorious technicolour!!

As for pwnage, the screen for me is totally useless. :cry: Gotta love that 22" widescreen 90degree awesomeness tho.

Been lurking a bit but after reading this thread I just had to post!

I recently bought a 226bw and it is beautiful! When I told my missus I had spent £200 on a monitor I thought I was a walking corpse but when she saw it she fell in love. An excellent piece of kit!
