Samsung B2330H 23-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor

I had a Samsung 204B LCD for many years and I was happy with it. Recently it started taking about 10 minutes to warm up before I could see any image on the screen so I decided it was time to move on. I did a lot of research, then went in a competitor's store and almost changed my mind. I wanted the B2330H but the LG monitors looked better in the store. Ultimately the 23LG LED looked like it had its own color problems and the 23LG LCD with glossy screen looked the best, but I couldn't bring myself to buy a glossy unit. Ultimately I wanted all the functionality of this Samsung monitor, including vesa mount so I purchased it at a brick and mortar store.

When I brought it home, I was really concerned about dead/stuck pixels but there were none to be had. Some reviewers have said the Samsung monitors don't display text all that well and I found that to be the case if I wasn't using the native resolution of 1920 x 1080. One of my computers couldn't output to that and thus the text was a little fuzzy. My other two computers (using a KVM switch) could output to that resolution and the text looked great. I also hooked up my Mac Book Pro to it, and text looked good there too. Ultimately, the problem I had was with the color shifting. I noticed a faint pinkish hue on the right of the monitor which I just couldn't ignore.

I'm going to return the unit and instead go with a new Dell U2311H. TN panels, like the one I'm reviewing, tend to have color shifting problems from what I've read so the U2311H with its IPS panel might be better for uniform color distribution. If you don't care about the subtle color shift, this is a good panel. I didn't want to get another one to see if the one I had was defective because I just don't want to spend anymore time on a TN panel. I work in 3D programs and do graphic design (print and web) so space to work in AND color accuracy are important to me.
