Samsung Monitor/ HD TV
L. Packard from NYS Capital Region
My husband and I were looking at options for adding TV capability to a new office. We thought our only choices were to add a TV (and find a place for it in a small room), or install a TV card in our computer. Then I saw an ad for this monitor, and began price shopping. Found a pretty good deal on Amazon. Read the many reviews already posted; was a little disconcerted about the complaints about the audio quality, but decided to go ahead and take a chance. Can I hear what they’re complaining about?… yes, but, adding in external speakers, it’s really not obvious enough to bother me in the least! The only real complaint I have (like some others) is the size quality of the manual instructions. I wear bifocals, but even with them, I had to get out a magnifying glass to be able to read which button was for what. This isn’t helped any by the fact that the location of the buttons… along the right hand side of the monitor, shiny black like the rest of the monitor, so if they’ve labeled, you can’t see them. Take my advice, and set up the remote first thing after you get the monitor plugged in! Using the remote, everything’s easy! Also, if you don’t have “Cable” service, select “Air” as the type of connection, even if you’re connecting a coax cable to it.

Great choice for a bedroom TV
M. Gironda from Woodbridge, NJ
I picked up this set from a local retailer and then returned and ordered from Amazon because the price was $100 less! We are using the 2333HD as a bedroom TV set, not connected to a computer at all… decided to go with this model because (1) it was better-priced than Samsung’s 22″ TVs, (2) it was in stock and Samsung’s 22″ TVs are hard to find, (3) the feature set was better–Samsung’s 22″ TVs are not 1080p, and (4) it matched the room better because the walls are blue and this set has a blue glow to it (which can be turned off, unlike the red “Touch of Color” on the 22″ TVs). The nice little SURPRISES we got with this deal were (1) a 6′ HDMI cable in the box and (2) a great little TV with Optical Audio Out and other expandability features that I didn’t expect. For the price, this TV is great, picture is excellent with several settings to tweak and some presets as well, decent audio that wouldn’t win any awards but certainly works well for watching the news in the morning and watching a movie while we were unpacking boxes (we just moved). Some reviews have claimed “tinny” audio… don’t forget that audio and picture are also dependent on the broadcast!! That being said, don’t expect little speakers to give you beautiful, rich surround sound–that’s obvious! 10,000:1 contrast ratio has seemed adequate, I have not seen evident pixellation yet… and the level of motion blur did not distract me while watching an HD broadcast of college football or Air Force One (an action movie). Air Force One DID show some dark-light pixellation but I think that was the broadcast–fast-moving commercials during the movie were crystal-clear in HD (I use Cablevision’s HD broadcast, which is only 720p). I highly recommend this item for a bedroom or college dorm room.

Native resolution issues on D-sub
nehopsa from
I suppose a monitor should work straight out of the box. That is what my HP w2207 monitor did. Unfortunately, HP was an exception which was never replicated by any of my Acer 22″ and 23″ monitors (cheap Best Buy units on sale at the time of purchase) nor with this Samsung 2333HD. None but the exceptional HP monitor got their native resolutions straight out of the box. Acers went back the the stone shop immediately. A smart move preempting driver nightmare. (Badly written EDID drivers…what do I care?? And WHY SHOULD I? I am not running it on Linux!)Bad luck with the Samsung, which I bought online. Extended warranty does not cover driver issues. (It is your fault that you try to connect their PERFECT monitor to your incompatible hardware.) Now it has been 7th day since I have opened the box. Finally time to fix the resolution…if only it were done easily. Today I lost the whole afternoon. No luck.
I updated my video card driver and the HD resolution IS supported by my notebook Radeon 9200. I downloaded and installed the Samsung driver from their support page and then uninstalled and reinstalled it at least 5 times. BAD LUCK. There are still wide margins around the desktop, I must scroll from side to side to see the 1900×1080 that the card sends correctly to the monitor but the monitor displays only part of it. Maybe a simple issue as it still looks as if the drivers are not PROPERLY loaded..but no fix worked for me yet. Maybe just need a DriverGenius. Even better…become DriverGenius myself.
I reached the end of my wit. I do not have HDMI or DVI option on my older system (as somebody suggested would be a fix).
Apart from Compaq nx7000 (Radeon 9200) i tried Fujitsu 4020 (Full HD not supported by the integrated Intel graphics) and Asus 1000HD. The last one has also Intel integrated graphic card but the resolution is supported. I try …it does not work (1900×1080 can be set on a display but not on the monitor). This make it 3:0 (Three systems zero success).
That is the reason I am giving this Samsung HD TV just two stars. So far it did not work even though I spent time on Samsung chat (useless, he sent me a link on how to open display settings AFTER the already learned from me I was well beyond that point) and Samsung phone (they asked me to reinstall the drivers).
Other then that the monitor/TV would be fine. The features are nice, the pictures is top-notch. The solution looked perfect for me.
If only it worked.
Better luck in fixing this particular issue somebody out there?? Drop me a line pls. In particular if it was no issue for you. Thank you.

Makes a great monitor
Daniel Bradford from Indianapolis IN USA
I was shocked at how well this tv acts as a monitor when I plugged my pc into it’s DVI-D slot. It is sharper and brighter than my purpose built 22″ Acer monitor!.The TV picture is good, maybe not as good as the new LG I returned because it did not have a DVI-D input.
TVs run smaller than monitors (which are the size they state). Hence, this 23″ tv screen is almost as large as my 22″ monitor, which is nice when running dual monitors as they are almost the same size.
This tv has a headphone jack that the LG did not have, so I run that out to a powered subwoofer and speakers intended for a pc, providing much better sound.
One drawback from my 23″ Olevia I replaced was this monitor does not have analog RCA plug input (red, white, yellow) which I was wanting for my security cameras.
This little TV has the blue light at the bottom center just like my big Samsung in my living room. Kind of cool.
The thing is made so that it tilts upward while sitting in its pedestal. I have a purpose built stand on my desk to put it at the level I need, so I have to place a coaster under the rear of the pedestal to tilt it forward so that the screen is exactly vertical.

Love that Samsung!!!
Erik Odegaard from Elk River, mn United States
Just got this TV, hooked it up to my cable and loved it. I decided to use it as a monitor for now but soon will be bringing it up to my lake place to use it as a TV again. Works great either way. If I had to complain about anything I would say, just like all Samsungs, the speakers aren’t the greatest but, good enough for short distance TV watching. Buy it you won’t regret it.
