Warning: When considering any widescreen monitor be sure your computer's video card supports the monitor's "native" resolution. The native resolution is the one setting that produces the best display on any given monitor. All flat screen monitors have a native resolution. In the case of this monitor you need a setting of 1920 X 1200. See your control panel/display settings. Be aware this is a tough requirement and many computers can not support it. Even new (budget) computers probably won't support this setting. Be sure to check that your computor supports a display resolution of 1920 x 1200. I understood this requirment prior to my purchase and upgraded my video card accordingly (cost = $120 plus a few hours of my time). My budget computer was 6 months old.
Pluses: This monitor has a very wide viewing angle and you can stand above it or move side to side and see a near perfect image. That may not be important to you but keep in mind that this feature adds considerably to this montor's

I have a PhD in Vision Research, specializing in color science. (Yes, really!) By my eye, the Samsung SyncMaster 245T 24" LCD Monitor is the clearest, brightest and most colorful Monitor on the Market. See colors that could previously only be seen on "Studio CRT's" costing thousands of $.
Surprisingly, there are many Websites that have "colors" that you cannot normally see accurately with essentially any other Monitor; especially, at the high brightness levels of the 245T. Expensive...But, stunning. Like no other I have seen. If you get one, go to Wired.com (bright greens) or even Newsweek.com (multiple-reds)or Amazon.com (brilliant orange buttons).
No, I have no connection with Samsung, other than also owning the predecessor - 244T that is just as good; but, not as colorful. RB

If you are a graphic designer, photographer or just someone who wants a high quality monitor that can produce consistent color, and has a wide viewing angles, this is for you. This has a S-PVA panel, which is far superior to cheaper TN LCD panels used in less costly monitors. If you spend a great deal of time in front of a monitor for work, especially with color critical applications, it is well worth the additional cost. Out of the box this needs calibration, and the reds were "hot" which can be dealt with by reducing the red saturation controls. I have not noticed any buzzing sound as other have noted, even with my ear to the monitor. Overall, an excellent monitor and a good option versus the even more expensive Apple Cinema Displays.

Crisp, clean, bright picture. Brilliant colors. Much better viewing area than the cheaper competition. Hands down the best monitor I tried. I have tried:
Gateway FHD2400 24" widescreen
Samsung 2496HM 24" widescreen
Samsung 245BW 24" widescreen
and this one.
The 245T has a pixel viewing angle of 178 degrees compared to the others which are 160 degrees. That means that I can see all the screen including the edges of the screen clearly. 24 inches is big. With a lesser viewing angle, the only clear viewability is directly forward at eye level. With 160 degrees, I look to the lower left edge of the screen and images are blurry and less color. 178 degrees allows it to be as clear and crisp no matter where my eye/head position is. With the 160 degrees, when I walked over to the monitor (standing) I could not see the elements of the taskbar (e.g. look for a "new mail" icon). I had to bend down and look at eye level to make out what was on the screen. With 178 degrees, I can see it while standing

This is now my third Samsung monitor after recently upgrading from a Samsung 24" 243T. The picture quality and overall look of the new 245T monitor are quite simply AWESOME!
The benefits of this monitor are impressive: switchable HDMI and DVI input, PIP , and a full featured display control panel.
Looking for a spectacular picture? Try hooking this display up via HDMI to a blu-ray player! This monitor produces a knockout razor sharp picture with 3-dimensional pop.
I also use this for Photoshop and love working with the sharp 1920x1200 resolution.
My new monitor arrived from Amazon in a well packed double box. The monitor was perfect, no dead pixels and functioned flawlessly right out of the box. I downloaded and installed the latest driver from the Samsung site, and was good to go. Had the monitor up and running in 10 minutes.
Highly recommend this monitor for anybody who is looking a high performance, reasonably priced monitor.

The 245T emits a constant buzzing sound from the upper back part of the screen. In a silent room, you can definitely hear it. Turning on MPA helps, but MPA makes the screen seem to vibrate.
I returned the original 245T that I bought to Samsung under warranty. They sent another one that had the *same exact problem*. I returned that one, and they sent another. *Same exact problem.*
That's 3 brand new Samsung 245T's with the same issue. This is obviously a flaw in the monitor that Samsung won't admit to, and can't do anything about.
Otherwise, the picture and performance of the monitor is great.

I bought this sight unseen after reading some reviews, as local dealers had only the 245B. After a few days, during which I haven't yet done much with the menu system, I have to give it five stars simply based on the visual display, which is incredible right out of the box. I am moving up from a 19" standard LCD monitor (HP) and wondered if I should go higher than 24". If you're making a similar move, I'd advise you to be careful. I see now that anything larger than 24" would be too much for my purposes. Probably 22" would have been sufficient. (I'm not a gamer.) In fact, I'm leaving an inch of desktop at each side of the screen for direct access to my icons.
