More info on how to get high-definition video.......2007-05-06

Some great reviews here of the 940MW, and I purchased mine (it's being closed out, I believe) on a super sale based on them. Thanks, folks. I'd like to add a couple of items.

Dot pitch on the unit is 0.282. This is fair for a monitor. I have a Dell Ultrasharp that's under 0.25 and the difference is quite noticeable. Lower, of course, is better.

Picture processing in TV-type applications is very good; better than Samsung's 720p 2007 LCD HDTVs, in my view. (Of course, the set comes with a standard NTSC tuner for analog over-the-air broadcasting, so will need a converter box eventually to pick up digital -- ugh.)

I'm using this as a transportable monitor and TV, so want to mate it with a DVD player on occasion. Am using the excellent Sony DVP-NS75H (see my review).

This monitor can play DVDs in upscaled HD and you'll be pretty amazed at what you get from some DVDs (not much difference with some movies produced with digital in mind, like LOTR, but most certainly on older content). It's a little bit of a work-around, though, and not documented in the manual, as I recall.

HERE'S HOW: You'll need to get an HDMI - DVI connector for the high-definition video (unlike HDMI to HDMI, it doesn't carry the audio); I bought the very good (posted as: ) Cables Unlimited, HDmi To Dvi-d Cable, 6ft from Amazon for about $12. For audio, don't try to connect between the A/V jacks on the DVD player and the Samsung. Instead, get an audio adapter to enable the standard A/V left and right RCA audio out connections from your DVD player to connect to the stereo phone jack in the back of the Samsung (next to the DVI connector). I found the RadioShack item number 274-369 for less than $4. I hope this isn't confusing; with a little experimentation you'll get great video and satisfactory audio in stereo.

Was good...but then..........2007-03-29

I've had this monitor for 3 months and it was fine. Watching standard TV wasn't the best-the image just wasn't too clear in widescreen mode. I do like the Picture-in-picture mode, so I could watch SportsCenter while checking my e-mail. It looks great when I use it with my XBox 360 too.
But then...as I saw in some of the other reviews, I was having problems with it not turning on/off and today, it finally died. No response from it at all. Customer service seemed helpful and now I'm waiting for a new one. If not for this issue I'd have given this monitor 4 stars. We'll see if the new one is any better.

Don't buy it.......2007-03-15

Well after my first one started turning itself off and requiring unplugged rest time before it would come back on I called Samsung. They shipped me a refurbished replacement and it worked for four days. Now it won't display anything. On to replacement number two...

I found it very versital........2007-01-15

I was looking to hook my computer up in our kitchen/dinning room and wanted the option of watching TV when not on the computer. This monitor works perfect. We do not have it hooked up to a HD broadcast, so it looks better from about 4 feet away than right up next to it. But either way it still looks good. I love surfing the internet and watching the basketball game in the PIP. We don't haver it hooked up to a stereo and use the TV speakers and it sounds GREAT! It has a lot of set up options to get the picture looking its best. And the remote has gread functions and is easy to use.

The monitor, itself, looks great. We always get great compliments from our friends!

NICE, BUT TRUST ME DONT BUY.......2007-01-14

Well, i bought this monitor about 2 months ago.. at the time i also needed a tv..so i thought this was a great buy..took it home set it up and boy it was awesome...the picture was great..(internet)....evrything was fine until about a month after i noticed that it would just shut down..then i would try to turn it back on and it wouldnt..so it takes for me to unplug for a few min then restart..since then it still shuts down..or freezez...i think that this item in general is defective..i noticed other people had the same problem..as of right now im waiting for my replacement...
