I generally only buy Samsung monitors because I think they deliver good value. This is no exception. It is an excellent everyday monitor for text and graphics, but probably lacks the sharpness necessary for detailed CAD work. It is very lightweight. I was disappointed to discover that I could not wall-mount it; my fault for not checking but it also seems that it would have been easy to add this capability, particularly given the light weight. Also, the 'foot' of the base is _huge_, and square, taking up an awful lot of desk space. The bezel too, seems disproportionately clunky for a modern monitor, particularly the large 'chin' under the screen. The stand itself is rock solid, but only offers a tilt adjustment, no rotation, which is an issue because of the square base with corners that suddenly intrude into your keyboard space when you rotate the screen a bit. On-screen menu is pretty basic - but less need to use it now because the superhot brightness settings that have plagued Samsung monitors for years seem to be more controllable in this model. Despite these nits, for the price, you do get an excellent image with minimal vignetting. Fine for business apps and videos; not a gamer so I can't comment on suitability there.

      Comments about Samsung S24B240BL 24" LED Monitor:

      I have had several Samsung monitors and never had a problem...until now. I had trouble getting a clear image. Tried to download a driver for Windows Vista. This monitor has only one driver available - for Windows 7. I called Samsung. They acknowledged that there is only one driver and it is for Windows 7. They also acknowledged that there is nothing on the packaging stating that. Others who have a system other than windows 7 may have better luck than I did.
      By the way, this is the only Samsung monitor which has only one driver that is exclusively for Windows 7.

        Comments about Samsung S24B240BL 24" LED Monitor:

        This monitor is perfect for any user wanting a functional and high quality display for everything from Web browsing to playing full HD video! Youtube HD videos play beautifully! Pleasing to the eye to look at, and if you dont like a glossy border to distract you from the screen this border frame is a flat black plastic. I like that it dont have a huge power/standby status light either. Tough base, unlike my lcd ACER I had that burned up. Very sturdy. Believe me, you wont be dissapointed by the sharpness and clairity of pictures and video!

                    • A:

                      This particular monitor is not vesa supported, which means it can't be placed on a mounting bracket and stuck to the wall. So sadly, there is no safe way to mount this to a wall.

                  • Q:

                    I have a question concerning the Samsung monitor model S24B240BL that I recently purchased at the local Staples store. My question concerns the contrast ratios. The static contrast ratio is 1,000:1 and the dynamic contrast ratio is something else - it is listed as mega (infinity symbol) DCR (dynamic contrast ratio) What is a mega infinity ratio??? How does that compare to any other brand: ie - AOC has one that is 50,000,000:1 dynamic; HP has one that is 8,000,000:1 dynamic. Where does this Samsung fit in to those ranges. If they had to put a specific number on the dynamic ratio what would it be? Thanks for the help in understanding this. lk

                      Went to Samsung chat with two different agents. This is plug and play for XP. The driver listed for windows 7 is to help put it on that OS. Check the Samsung site for how to set Native resolution for your computer. Check it out for your self at the Samsung site.
