The 225 series has become a fantastic monitor... initially it was plauged with bad capacitors feeding the ilumination bars, and the manufacture discontined the monitor after relasing a replacement capacitor set. Most "Working" 225s today have had the capacitors replaced and they are absolutely fantastic, and one of the most reliable monitos for color and lifespan i've used to-date in my video business. This is not a gaming monitor, dont expect wicked fast refresh rates, but these monitors were comparable with Apple cenema displays costing 4x as much designed for video and color work. i've had 2 units in almost constant operation for over 6 years, and this ebay 3rd unit we just purchased is performing perfectly. I always recommend Samsung (even the 225 lemon is fantastic if its been repaired). You';ll find several repair kits on ebay as well.. if you have a little skill in fixing/replacing components, you can handle the replacement work if necessary. I am considering buying a few dead 225's and fixing them for my sons computer. ... if you want a 225, just be sure its working and you wont be disapointed for a sharp image with true color, or even over enhanced. its loaded with features and you can run both Analogue and Digital to the screen simultaneously, and source switch between.Read full review

I have owned several Samsung 225BW monitors, and they were great when purchased new. New ones seem to last a few years, and that's about what I expect. I bought two of these refurb units though, and they are complete junk! 1st one) Worked great and had a great picture for about 3 days. Then it lost all colors except for red. It would start up with a solid red screen. It would have to turn it off and on a few times before the other colors would kick in and it would return to normal. This got worse and worse over a few days until it was just useless. 2nd one) Worked fine right out the box, but had a terrible picture. Everything was very dull and yellowed, like the monitor was 10 years old and dimmed or worn out. I ended up returning both refurb units and bought two brand new LG units from Best Buy that were on sale for about the same price as the refurb Samsungs. They look better than any Samsung I have ever owned, new or refurb.Read full review
Fantastic Monitor. I use two of these for editing video and music. Nice and wide. These monitors brand new were very expensive. They built to last. Also can be fixed very easily if one goes out.
This monitor is very nice, I have purchased 4 because there are four (4) illuminators pushing the monitor and most others have one or two. Very bright monitor and very high specs. Worth buying used and even repairing if needed.
i would like to say that the lcd monitor is great. works and no problems with it. the color is awesome. when Samsung built this lcd monitor, they had built one of the best monitor.
