My old CRT monitor was also efficient at heating my room. The memory of lugging the heavy CRT up two flights of stairs was also fresh in my mind and played a significant role in my decision. When the nerves in my left eyelid began to jerk in an uncontrollable spasm from staring at the CRT display I decided that it was time to switch to a LCD monitor, so that my eyes would not be continually assailed by the beam from an electron gun. Purchasing a SamSung SyncMaster 226BW LCD Monitor But the 226BW is a reasonable-cost way of upgrading a smaller display to a widescreen, getting some bold, rich colors, and enough speed that gaming looks good.ДЄlso, if you care about monitor styling, the shiny plastic bezel on the 226BW, along with the quality and feel of the rest of the plastics is pretty good. There are newer, bigger, TN monitors out there today. My original 225BW had cap failure, but it was a store demo model for 8 months, being left on 24x7. Though many other brands like Viewsonic used the same Chinese mfg and have similar failure problems. I don't care about that because they will be for gaming, not watching Hi-def movies.Д«a ck in '06-07 when these were on store shelves, they were easily one of the better monitors in retail the only reason you see non-working models on e-bay is because they were susceptible to capacitor failure.

The max resolution is 1650x1050, just shy of 1080P. Interestingly, though, the 226BW panel will work just fine with the 225BW signal processor. It also features a different signal processor for faster gray-to-gray transitions. The 226BW panel color-wise is better than the 'C' 225BW panels (Google the S,A,C versions of the 225BW panels). I actually put the 226BW panel into a 225BW bezel as the 225BW bezel/back-shell is thinner and more adjustable than the 226BW (225BW has tilt/telescope, while the 226BW has tilt only). I have a bunch of 225BW's and this 226BW for an AMD Eyefinity multiple monitor solution. I purchased a non-working model on e-bay in order to repair it.

Moving to Windows 7 negates all the earlier driver issues and the monitor would be a solid excellent factoring in the cost and durability. Update: After using the monitor for a couple of years now, and installing Windows 7, it's still working and the display is as clear as it was when new. If you need them, you're looking at buyi ng from a different manufacturer. Please note that this monitor does not have internal speakers. I don't know why it solved the issue, but it did.

After losing my screen resolution and the ability to change it, I restored my system to the old driver and I haven't had the shutting down problem since. I accidentally solved the problem by installing an updated driver from Samsung (which didn't help), and then automatically downloading a new driver from Microsoft. If you're using XP, many of these monitors will develop an intermittent and repeated problem with suddenly turning off and then restarting. One small problem developed in mine (and several others, as I found out later). You can get better, but it will cost you. Nice monitor for the price, but has XP driver issues.
