Samsung Monitors Are Junk...

01-25-2010, 04:51 AM

Ok so in the last year I've had 3 Samsungs fail on me... one still working...

#1. 20" completely stopped working on DVI (6 months ago) - 2 years old
#2. 25" completely stopped working on DVI (2 months ago) - 3 months old
#3. 24" will not even power up, just has a quick flashing light (yesterday) - 1 1/2 years old
#4. 24" still working fingers crossed...

Just ordered a Dell 3008wfp... hopefully it's not a huge pile of crap like the Samsungs have been

It's funny I've always heard how good Samsungs were, now looking into it, seems tons of people are having issues.

I'm like an abused wife, I almost ordered a Samsung 305t last night... then I read it doesn't even have on screen menus, you can only adjust brightness, and it's not HDCP... lol

Wow, that's some bad luck. I had a 22" Samsung SynMaster and it shit out on me after 2 years, so now I'm using a 24" LG Flatron W2452T and it's pretty amazing.

It's just odd how their monitors suck, I have 3 LCD tvs and they've been working great.

I've only had one Samsung monitor and it's been great for almost 4 years. Although, it did develop 1 dead pixel after 2½-3 years.

I always had Iiyamas, but the new dell I got a few months ago is pretty cool. Not high end, but good enough for what I use it for.

I have one of those, plus three others (different models) and never had an issue with any of them. Some I have had for at least 3-5 years. They have some of the best color, I have found, in the monitors without going super high end.

Maybe you're having some sort of power spikes in your house that is killing them. It is a little odd for all of them to die like that. It doesn't take much of a spike to kill something, while not killing everything you have. I'd look into getting a power regulator and quality surge protector BEFORE you plug in your next monitor.

I can attest to this fact.

Have a big APC 1500

The 25" didn't fail at my house

The 20" works fine on VGA when connected on a guest laptop downstairs, but will not function at all on DVI any more.

Read about some complaints with samsung monitors... seems to be a little higher than other brands.

My wife has a cheap 22" LG that has been going strong on the same APC

Brand new house, I have some extremely high end electronics, esp. audio and video equipment, actually had an electrian out two times to look over the office, master bedroom, and living room and make sure everything is kosher. They're all on apcs too

Those 3 plugs in those three rooms are on their own 20amp breaker

Always loved Samsung. Beautiful color reproduction, amazing build quality and perfect design That said ... I'm only talking about my own monitos/TVs... I feel bad that you've had such a bad run.

LOL...

The only failure I had was the 20" not working in DVI. It wasn't the end of the World.

The 25" and the new 24" I bought next around the same time. When the 25" starting having issues it didn't bother me much, but when the 24" completely died it started worrying me because I had just bought another 24" to use with it in dual monitor setup.

Kind of just snowballed all at once lol

never had any problems with any of monitors and I had quite a few over the years... maybe your power is bad, maybe power spikes are frying your monitors? maybe try getting a UPS setup?

Im in the process of buying a 30" Dell, going from 24" to 30" might be a shock for me. But I have always used Dell Monitors from 2000 onwards.

When you get it, tell us your thoughts on its size. I checked out one the other day at the Dell store, it's pretty damn big.

Have a good friend that bought a 30" Dell 3 years ago, he loves it.

I'll use it with the working 24" Samsung as the second monitor on a GeForce 295 GTX w/ Win 7 ultimate.

Never can have too much screen real estate when you're coding ;)

I had 2 dell's prior to the samsungs... never had a problem.

All my PCs / Laptops are Alienware and I've never had a problem, but I sure have read about them. My wife has an XPS dell laptop and it's perfect, I had a latitude a few years ago and returned it after 3 days, horrible laptop.

Guess it's just luck of the draw...

Look a little closer, some people have bought monitors that failed, then recieved new ones that kept failing.

Just giving a little word of caution, since I used to think Samsung was the best as well

First off - bad luck there.
I've never had issues w/ Samsung screens, and mine are on 24/7. 4 years ago, I had one's tube go dim - and samsung replaced all THREE that I had, out of warranty, free, next day via courier coming to my house, picking up the old and dropping off the new.

Secondly - bad news. Samsung make all of Dell's LCDs. Sorry about that. So not only did you just buy another Samsung, you paid a premium to have 'DELL' stamped on it

Hey at least the Dell does HDCP and has on screen controls. The 30" Samsung you can't even adjust color settings, just brightness ;-)

Actually got a pretty good coupon from dell since I just bought a M15x laptop, made it cheaper than the Samsung

Just got the Dell 3008wfp last night, this thing is a beast

Really makes the 24" Samsung I have next to it seem tiny...

I'm hardly using the second monitor now, basically just has outlook and remote desktop on it.

Build quality is amazing too, all brushed aluminum around the bezel. Still getting used to the size and brightness of it.

I use twin Samsung 22" 226CW's on my workstation, and a 50" Samsung plasma TV downstairs and I've had 0 problems for over 2 years now.

Samsung is absolutely untouchable in quality, imho.

I have four that I accumulated over the years. One has to be at least 10 years old, they all still work. But each one has a feature that the other one lacks. I do have one that i really hate though the dvi doesnt work properly on it been that way forever bought it refurbished though so i guess you get what you pay for.

Seems like if they just combined the best features they have with a quality stand they would be top notch.

Some samsungs have several troubles : Main is " Resolution ", have like a blured pattern, but I think that maybe this problem is for the cheap line of monitors. I bought an Acer 5 years ago and still working great
