Awesome 2048x1152 resolution and 16x9 aspect ratio.
by Mergatroid Mania on December 8, 2009
Pros: Higher resolution than the more common 1080p, same 16x9 aspect ratio as a wide screen TV.
Cons: Non adjustable stand, some light bleeding on the edges.
Summary: I currently own a 3 year old 22" Samsung monitor that does 1680x1050. That was the standard resolution for a 22" widescreen monitor at the time. Now most monitors 22`...
Summary: I currently own a 3 year old 22" Samsung monitor that does 1680x1050. That was the standard resolution for a 22" widescreen monitor at the time. Now most monitors 22`and up do 1080p (1920x1080) as the standard resolution. The 2343 does an incredible 2048x1152. It can do a 1080p video in a window and still have room to spare. Also, this monitor has an aspect ratio of 16x9 instead of the more common 16x10. This makes the display a little shorter but a little wider. Great for gaming. The display is bright and crisp. The monitor stand does not adjust for height, however this monitor is so nice I think I will purchase a wall mount for it. The only cable management provided is a small clip for the video and power cables. A cheap design but it seems to work fine.
The only problem I've come across is that there is light bleeding around the edges on dark screens. I found this same effect on my older 22" monitor, and it lasted for about 6 months before it seemed to fade away. I would expect the same from the 2343. The monitor is HDCP compatible so you can view high def movies and blu-rays. The monitor has a digital and analogue input but no HDMI (which I was not looking for). All in all a great monitor. If not for the light bleeding I would give it a 10 out of 10.
The monitor only cost $197 Canadian at a local computer store. At that price I could not pass it up.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Cool monitor
by BoUnC3ps on April 30, 2009
Pros: Cool design, Big screen size, Clear picture, and color.

Summary: I've had a Samsung Syncmaster 225bw and unfortunately it broke down. I was very satisfied with the product and had no problems with it except when I turn the monitor off it doesnt want to stay on so I just left it on until it broke down. I don't have an HD source and my video card is only 128MB. I was skeptic about getting this 2343bwx because of its high resolution capability. Turns out good and it looks like my old 225bw. Games are smooth, picture is easy on the eyes unlike the LG that I bought which was returned immediately for pixel defects. This monitor is the very first that I have that comes with a DVI finally I could enjoy digital display. On the other hand the stand is difficult to install. If you don't have the strength you'll have a very hard time sticking it in. I literally pounded it with my hands so the stand will fit in. Other than that I'm very satisfied with this product. I'll never look for any other LCD monitor other than Samsung. For me there are two kinds of lcd monitor, one is Samsung and the other one is something else.

My Computer is TWICE AS FAST. WOW
This is a huge benefit, and something that i have not seen before or expected.
My computer boots faster, my browser responses instantly, same way with Word and other aps.
even the keyboard and mouse are more responsive.
I had a very good, but old quality Eizo. I don't no whether it is the refresh rate, the drivers, the DMI
but what ever it is I would buy the monitor for the SPEED Increase alone !!!
