This monitor is bright, colorful, and basically the best you can get for under $300 in terms of picture (though I've noticed a lot of eye strain comes with this). However, the person who designed the adjustment buttons should be taken out back and kept from working in this industry until he or she reaches at least the age of 13. They are awful. First of all, they're not even buttons, they're just tiny areas on the bezel that you're supposed to touch, even though they are practically invisible (you'll need a flashlight to even detect them). They don't always respond to your touch, of course, so adjusting the monitor's picture can be as arduous as producing a bowel movement while on the Atkins diet. I honestly thought this adjustment panel was a joke, but I couldn't find anybody laughing. Whatever you do, don't let any of your friends or family see you attempting to adjust settings on this thing, because the sight of you hunched over your desk shining a flashlight at your monitor in the middle of the day while poking it to death with your finger and uttering every curse word known to man in pure frustration will probably cause them to change their opinion of you somewhat. Did Samsung even bother to test this thing before they released it? There's really no excuse for this.
