I bought a Samsung 2232BW+ from BestBuy a few days ago as my first flat panel. I used a 17" CRT for 10 years.
Mine is an AU Optronics panel, panel code: m-PE22B0CLB-1002
There is a definite blue tint to everything, orange if I set it to "Warm".
"Normal" is bluish and "Cool" is way too blue. While displaying a white background, the right side has a yellowish hue to it while the left is white.
Everything appears to be washed out as well. No gamma change helped, eiher 1 2 or 3. Light blues are almost impossible to see no matter what the brightness/contrast settings and back light bleed is pretty bad in dark scenes. Mainly towards the top and bottom on the screen with some on the sides.
My panel also seems to have bad motion blur. When I drag windows I can see really bad ghosting and stuttering almost that kind of makes me sick to my stomach a bit to watch. In movies it's not as visible but it's still there. I tried turning RTA on and off but nothing helps although RTA does seems to increase ghosting.
In the upper left corner there is another issue. The picture actually bends upward. A straight line curves upward, say like a browser window.
Even though build quality really has nothing to do with picture quality, this Samsung is built like a Happy Meal toy. Very light and very plastic. I picked up an HP w2207h that was near by(should have bought that one) and it weighed a ton. Very sturdy and very well built compared to my Samsung. I don't have any dead pixels but I don't care. This is going back to BestBuy.
Any suggestions for a replacment? I've heard really good things about HP's w2207h which looked really nice on display. What about the 22" LG's?
I didn't quite understand whether you actually got the HP w2207h yet or not. If you did, keep it. It's a really nice display.
If you're still looking, then the LG L227WTG-PF may have a slight edge on image quality. That's about it, folks.
