'Colors were a bit off but text was legible from extreme viewing angles (though we're glad to see Samsung claim a relatively humble 160- instead of some vendors' farfetched 176- or 178-degrees-off-center viewability).'

'I ended up having to prop the display up on a couple of large books to achieve the best height for my eyes.'

'difficult-to-use on-screen menu system'

'The panel is fixed at 3.5 inches above the desk, which is pretty low for the average user; we prefer a minimum of 4 inches,'

'Grayscale performance was merely average, and our white-level saturation test showed that the colors nearest to peak white were slightly washed out.'

'default color settings looked a little too blue and bright'

'No speakers, headphone jack, or extra USB ports.'

'Unfortunately, the confusing numerical labels don't explain the sort of viewing each mode is best suited for.'

'Unfortunately, the panel does not rotate for viewing in portrait mode.'
