 Great picture quality, still looks great 2 years later Jan 18, 2010
Bought the Samsung Syncmaster 245BW in 2008. This 24" widescreen (16x9 format) monitor has been just perfect. I use it for hours daily and it has never had a single hiccup, great image every time I turn it on. I'm picky about display quality and color, this one is as good as any LCD monitor I've ever seen, just as clear as the (expensive) LCD display I use at work.
The resolution is 1920x1200, so it's a widescreen.
No longer available new, it's been replaced by (less expensive) Samsung models, but at the time this was $450 at Costco. Since this one's been just outstanding I would not hesitate to buy (or recommend) another Samsung.

Fantastic, but don't rely on it as your primary monitor; Samsung service OK Oct 26, 2009
I absolutely love the crisp, sharp detail, bright whites and black darks on this monitor. I use it as a second monitor attached to a laptop. I use it to process digital images from spacecraft, which contain lots of black black space and bright whites. The range of contrast that this monitor can produce is a thousand times better than my laptop's screen -- whites are much brighter, blacks are darker, and all of the detail is crisp.
The reason I can't give it five stars is because, like several other reviewers, after some time (not quite two years in my case) it suddenly began flickering. The warranty is three years, and Samsung repaired it under the warranty with no hassling; it was really a very painless process of reporting the problem on the Web, printing out a prepaid UPS shipping label, bringing it to UPS, and waiting. I received an email from Samsung within a couple of hours of its arrival at the repair location, and less than 48 hours later it had been repaired and put on the UPS truck to come back to me. But since all shipping was ground, the whole process did take more than two weeks. Because this is only a secondary monitor, I was able to cope without it, but if this had been my only monitor, I would have been pretty exercised about the delay. And I'm not sanguine about its survival much beyond its warranty period. But it will be beautiful -- and affordable -- while it lasts.
great monitor - analog and digital inputs quite handy Jul 27, 2009
The Samsung 24" provides a 16:9 aspect ratio that is great for doing image editing and working on spreadsheets. It has dual inputs than than be switched from a button on the front of the display. This makes it possible to use two computers and have them share a single monitor. I use mine with an analog input from a Windows PC and the digital input from a Mac Pro workstation.
The color is excellent and easy to adjust with a calibration tool. I find that the colors I see on the monitor accurately reflect what I get from my printer and from prints from the pro lab I use. I have had a difficult time achieving this with NEC LCD monitors I have used in the past.
The small frame is something I also like as it seems to make the monitor visually smaller. I wanted a monitor without speaker as I use a separate setup for sound anyway and did not want the extra size they add to the display.
I could not get the display low enough on my desktop with the stand that comes with the monitor which is something I have encountered with every display I have bought. The designers continue to ignore standard ergonomics and average desk heights and have displays that are too high even on the lost position possible using the manufacturers' stands. The Samsung does use the industry standard mount so it was easy to switch it to a cantilevered arm to hold it above the desktop at the perfect height for my needs.

 price not performance May 30, 2009
I bought 9 of these displays for my artwork.
The viewing angle (vertically) is inferior to other displays -- there are distinct color change as one changes the vertical viewing angle.
The monitor does not reset correctly if an Intel/XP computer powers-up AFTER the monitor (an analog to digital switching problem?)-- ugly yellow striations appear on the display -- re-starting the diplay fixes the problem (I use DPMS to do this).
Of the 9 I have had two failures: one quite early (warranty replacement was very good) and now a second one has gone bad.
The price is good, though the price fixing scandal (a $200M fine?) worries me. But there is only three real sources of LCDs : Samsung, LG/Philips and Acer.

Samsung is the industry standard Dec 09, 2008
I have owned this monitor for about 6 months now. I run a dual monitor setup that includes a Samsung 244T which is about a year and a half older. I hear many people talk about the difference of the viewing angle between the two and how it makes a huge difference and that they have to move their heads around to make sure they are getting the hot spot on the screen with the 245BW. I look at a 244T which has a 178 viewing angle and this monitor which is at 160 everyday for hours right next to each other. If price was not an option I would still probably get this one over the the 244T. This may be because the 244T is not a current model but when price is added into it, I can't see the 245T being worth a $200+ difference in cost. The 244T did come with magic rotation and the 245BW did not and that can be a nice thing to have for some although I do not use it myself.
With that said, this is all very subjective and both monitors are excellent. Ever since owning these monitors, I would never own another brand of monitor. Whether you get the T model or the BW or some other less expensive model, do yourself a favor and buy a Samsung and you will be happy with your purchase.
