I jus bough a 15" Samsung syncmaster 151n do you think I made a good purchase?


Here is a picture of it:

Got a product picture? I have a 15" Dell one Looks good and works good too lol

ya! I have the same montor and have no problems!!

Can you post some pics?

I have a Samgung Syncmaster Monitor Too they are good

How do you adjust the colour because for some reason the white is to bright.

It has the buttons on the left? or down? Menu>Brightnes

Something like that

hmmmm not a big difference

Try downing the contrast too.. make sure it's at a level where you don't strain your eyes

What is the safest refresh rate for this type of monitor?

Check in product specification from either your user manual or on a website    It says 60Hz so i wouldn't go any higher incase it becomes damaged

It's all configured properly

what backlight I turned down the brightness to 10

nooo not the brightness, the backlight, your screen should contain a bulb. Mine does. That illuminates the screen. I adjusted mine and it when darker.

I have the 152v version of the SyncMaster, and it is very good. I've had it for about 6 months and it has never had any problems. I found it had a bit of motion blur, but not much. You have to look really close

I have a SyncMaster 151n too, but mine looks slightly different. Maybe mine i an european model or some older reversion?

Has any of yous with the syncmaster had any dead pixels the reason i am asking is because i am looking for a good lcd as the one i have (medion) has dead pixels and has some problems with the auto ajust

would you recommend it?

my sony vaio was just plug in and use, it set its self up sraight away  and as well as perfect picture it looks sexy as well

My sony screen is really good, had it for nearly 3 years and no dead pixels or any defects.

my dad has a samsung 17" lcd and i have 2 syncmaster 710v's one of them gives a different color at a the exact same settings but its something you get used to (could be that i have my newer one plugged into my dvi adapter.)

edit: nope. they must change either in production over time or just i got a bad one.

i have a SyncMaster 955 DF its not thin but its good quallity i didnt need to ajust anything it was good alredy

Ok how do I adjust that? that bulb?

My screen resolution is 1024x768 the dark colours are fine and don't hurt my eyes just the bright ones

Play with the menu on your monitor, mine (also a SyncMaster 151n) is set to:
brightness: 50
contrast: 50
fine: 93
coarse: 1317
Color Control...
R: 50
G: 50
B: 50

I believe the default settings are brightness 80 and contrast 70, which are just too high. No idea why Samsung made those default .

should have bought a 153V samsung 15inch LCD . .the 151n's are older

hmmm, must be just on sony monitors that you can adjust the backlight...

15" is very small i think you could have bought a bigger one without paying much more...

what kind of monitor contains a bulb?

Alot? LCDs need bulbs cause thier like gameboys. (infact they are used in gameboys) They can't actually illuminate the pixels, they just color them. So thier needs to be a backlight to illuminate the screen. (btw all computer LCD monitors contain backlights)

So how do I adjust mine then?
