Now, i was not much of a monitor expert, at first I had my mind set on the Acer G226HQL 21.5-Inch Screen LED Monitor, which was on sale for less than 100 dollars and this monitor for about 150. I thought, why not go for the cheaper one, I WAS WRONG. The Acer monitor has a fatal flaw which was its display brightness, I would say the lowest brightness on the Acer monitor could match this monitor at about 50%. Of course this monitor can be quite bright as well. But for me, who prefer a normal to dim display, the Acer was just blinding. Another thing I discovered was the significant increase in color detail and riches when this monitor is put side to side with the Acer one. The black is simply, deeper, and darker. I would not recommend purchasing a 24 inch monitor under 100 dollars.note: The Acer monitor was just an example for comparison, this is not a rant towards the Acer company as these two monitors also have a significant difference in price.FYI: This monitor does not come with HDMI cable, so if you want to enjoy it as soon as possible, I recommend purchasing the AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI Cable, for about 5 dollars so it's shipped along.A few issues other reviewers have mentioned,-yellow tint, not to me, the white was perfect, and contrast was high.-wobbling stand, again, not to me, the monitor sits very stable in the stand.I strive to make my reviews as detailed and helpful as possible. Any commendations is appreciated. If you have any concern or questions feel free to post a comment below and I will try to answer them as soon as possible.

Given the plethora of lower quality TN panels encroaching the price of this 24-inch PLS monitor, the S24E390HL delivers picture quality comparable to more expensive models with the help of minor calibrations. Colors are vivid and mostly accurate, and response lag remains unnoticeable unless scrutinized for function. The panel has a nearly complete 180 degrees viewing angle; being a non-PWM panel, the monitor is also, fortunately, flicker-free. The sRBG coverage, though not complete, will have all but the most demanding users (e.g. graphic professionals) satisfied. Your results may vary, but please note the following settings for calibration.Monitor: Brightness-60; Contrast-75; Sharpness-60; MagicBright-Custom; HDMI Black Level-Normal; Red-47; Green-45; Blue-46; Gamma-Mode3Graphics: change to "full" dynamic output (many graphics settings do not by default)The monitor itself leaves a professional, understated look with a thin, even bezel. Though the design is pleasing, Samsung decided to cut costs on materials. Even if the construction seems solid, the result is a slightly wobbly stand. Adjustment is highly limited to only tilt, and the monitor has no speakers. As for features, the lack of a VESA mount may disappoint some users. While the monitor has the minimum one HDMI and one VGA input, it lacks DVI support completely.For under $200, this monitor provides a rather similar experience for average consumers compared to higher-tiered monitors priced around $300. Given that, one can easily overlook the lack of features and average material quality.This monitor deserves 4.5 stars, if only Amazon allowed it. Highly recommended if you're looking for a good monitor with superb picture production on a budget!

Great picture with crisp resolution. Controls over brightness, contrast, sharpness, RGB, Gamma, Game/Cinema/Standard mode, image size, and many other elements. It really allows you to get the best quality image from your computer onto the monitor, and then customize to your liking. The EyeSaver mode is pretty innovative. Up until now we've had to rely on apps and software to give you that feature - and it really does help. I use the monitor mainly for video editing with my MacBook Pro and it does an excellent job of clearly and accurately displaying the image without pixelation thanks to Samsung's Magic Upscale.The design is sleek and space saving. The base takes up about 7.5" from front to back, the total height with the stand is 16", and then the screen is 21" wide. It fits nicely on most desks and the base is T-shaped so it leaves plenty of desk space under the monitor as well.The power/adjustment joystick in the back is different but good. it simplifies the controls down to a single button which cleans up the screen and makes it a little easier to navigate. It does take a little getting used to though (Samsung does this for a lot of their screens so if you've had one before, it's nothing new).The 3.5mm headphone aux jack is very useful for connecting to my MacBook because I can just leave my desktop speakers hooked into the monitor while I connect both audio and visual from my laptop through a single hdmi cable.The power cord is slim and non-bulky which makes it aesthetically pleasing and space saving. The AC plug is angled so the cord lays flat next to whatever outlet it's plugged into. It does have a small adapter box on it (3.75" x 1.5" x 1") so just be aware of that.In summary, this is a quality, sturdy, aesthetically modern, space saving, and affordable monitor to be used as a desktop screen or an external screen for a laptop.
