 “Great picture quality, still looks great 2 years later” 2010-01-18
By J. Chadwick (San Francisco Bay Area)
Bought the Samsung Syncmaster 245BW in 2008. This 24″ widescreen (16×9 format) monitor has been just perfect. I use it for hours daily and it has never had a single hiccup, great image every time I turn it on. I’m picky about display quality and color, this one is as good as any LCD monitor I’ve ever seen, just as clear as the (expensive) LCD display I use at work.

The resolution is 1920×1200, so it’s a widescreen.

No longer available new, it’s been replaced by (less expensive) Samsung models, but at the time this was $450 at Costco. Since this one’s been just outstanding I would not hesitate to buy (or recommend) another Samsung.

 “Fantastic, but don’t rely on it as your primary monitor; Samsung service OK” 2009-10-26
By Emily S. Lakdawalla (Los Angeles, CA)
I absolutely love the crisp, sharp detail, bright whites and black darks on this monitor. I use it as a second monitor attached to a laptop. I use it to process digital images from spacecraft, which contain lots of black black space and bright whites. The range of contrast that this monitor can produce is a thousand times better than my laptop’s screen — whites are much brighter, blacks are darker, and all of the detail is crisp.

The reason I can’t give it five stars is because, like several other reviewers, after some time (not quite two years in my case) it suddenly began flickering. The warranty is three years, and Samsung repaired it under the warranty with no hassling; it was really a very painless process of reporting the problem on the Web, printing out a prepaid UPS shipping label, bringing it to UPS, and waiting. I received an email from Samsung within a couple of hours of its arrival at the repair location, and less than 48 hours later it had been repaired and put on the UPS truck to come back to me. But since all shipping was ground, the whole process did take more than two weeks. Because this is only a secondary monitor, I was able to cope without it, but if this had been my only monitor, I would have been pretty exercised about the delay. And I’m not sanguine about its survival much beyond its warranty period. But it will be beautiful — and affordable — while it lasts.

 “price not performance” 2009-05-30
By Clive McCarthy (San Francisco, CA United States)
I bought 9 of these displays for my artwork.

The viewing angle (vertically) is inferior to other displays — there are distinct color change as one changes the vertical viewing angle.

The monitor does not reset correctly if an Intel/XP computer powers-up AFTER the monitor (an analog to digital switching problem?)– ugly yellow striations appear on the display — re-starting the diplay fixes the problem (I use DPMS to do this).

Of the 9 I have had two failures: one quite early (warranty replacement was very good) and now a second one has gone bad.

The price is good, though the price fixing scandal (a $200M fine?) worries me. But there is only three real sources of LCDs : Samsung, LG/Philips and Acer.

 “Samsung is the industry standard” 2008-12-09
By Isaac Mann (Thousand Oaks, CA)
I have owned this monitor for about 6 months now. I run a dual monitor setup that includes a Samsung 244T which is about a year and a half older. I hear many people talk about the difference of the viewing angle between the two and how it makes a huge difference and that they have to move their heads around to make sure they are getting the hot spot on the screen with the 245BW. I look at a 244T which has a 178 viewing angle and this monitor which is at 160 everyday for hours right next to each other. If price was not an option I would still probably get this one over the the 244T. This may be because the 244T is not a current model but when price is added into it, I can’t see the 245T being worth a $200+ difference in cost. The 244T did come with magic rotation and the 245BW did not and that can be a nice thing to have for some although I do not use it myself.

With that said, this is all very subjective and both monitors are excellent. Ever since owning these monitors, I would never own another brand of monitor. Whether you get the T model or the BW or some other less expensive model, do yourself a favor and buy a Samsung and you will be happy with your purchase.

 “5 months later and dark grey lines appear” 2008-10-22
By V. Makarov (Brooklyn, NY, USA)
I rotated the monitor, and black lines went away but for how long ? Not acceptable for a brand like Samsung. Monitor does have 3 year warranty, but from what I read on here, it’s gonna take me a while to get a replacement and even then i might to need to replace it. Stay away from it, go buy a Dell monitor. My 18 inches flat Dell monitor from October 2002 is still working flawlessly. Even my Digiview from early 90’s never had dark grey lines…

I’ll post an update soon.
