Sorry for poor photographs, I don’t have a good cam at the moment.
Touch sensitive buttons:
The buttons are so interesting; so that I will tell you little about it. All u need to do is touch them, no need to press at all. It is extremely sensitive. There are 6 such buttons, among which one is for the power and another is “Auto”. Just touch the auto button and it will adjust the height and width, horizontal and vertical positions by it self – hassle free. And the other 4 buttons are “Menu”, “Up”, “Down” and “Enter”.
When u touch the menu button u can use the up/down and enter buttons to change the settings. And without opening the menu, if you touch the down button, it will bring up a small pop-up menu at the bottom left hand corner of the screen that brings up the option that you have set in the “Customized Key” in the menu setup. And by touching the up button brings up the brightness level settings in the middle of the screen. And u cannot define some other functions just like you can do it for the down button.
Overall, the monitor has got a good display and thanks to Magic Color and MagicBright. This two features will revamp the display to max.
The down part is that, this monitor has got no DVI connectivity and u can’t tilt the screen too much. Apart from that you will get 22 Inches of widescreen display will amazing colors, thanks to its TN panel.
This thing costs around $380 including tax. Thats approximately 14,600 Rs in India.
Now, let me get back to work…

well, though I’ve no time to write up a review, all I can say is this monitor is really good for almost everything. Watching DVD movies and playing games is a sheer pleasure.
Even i’m from Bangalore and I bought this from SP Road for 14.6k.. its quite shocking for me to hear about the price drop so soon..

Ack! I bought this a few days ago from Staples for Rs. 15,900
The feather touch button is NOT a good idea. It’s very difficult to see them. They should have coloured it or used led lights. But on the bright side, the quality of display is just fine. I looked at the Samsung website and didn’t find any other monitor with an 8000:1 contrast ratio…

I agree with the feather touch buttons issue. But its just the matter till you get used to it. I used to struggle for a week, especially during night when all the lights are turned off.. now my fingers move over the exact button without any probs.
But I agree that it would’ve been good if it had a back light .

Hmm…just now I’ve finished installing it….everything was gr8 except the 60Hz refresh rate at max resolution. You could see some glare lines running by due to this….This is the only thing that turned me down..otherwise a master piece.

@ sagar.
I don’t see any lines. It happens only if u have connected the wires loosely. I noticed those lines few days and tightened all the wires.. and it disappeared.

I bought this one for rs.13200/-. Not satisfied at all. not comfortable to work for long time as color and contrast is too much bright and painfull to eyes.
I have spent lots of time adjusting everything but still can’t natural tone of colors and contrast.
I have worked on viewsonic and I prefer it strongly over this samsung.
