The Basics (continued):

While from a distance you might not notice that there is any text printed on the bezel, zooming in to the various corners reveals that Samsung has printed some data on it. In the upper left corner (shown in the below left image) we see the model number, while in the upper right corner (shown in the below right image) we see advertising for the 20000:1 dynamic contrast right next to an Energy Star label.

In the below right corner there is some very important text, but unfortunately it is nearly impossible to see, regardless of lighting conditions. Prior to powering up the monitor I assumed this text would be backlit to make it easier to read, but what you see below is about as good as it gets.

There are no buttons to control the display's settings, and the faint text shown above is printed over a touch sensitive area that is effectively a set of 6 buttons. I hate to jump to the conclusion of the review so early, but this wound up being by far my least favorite feature of this monitor. I can never see the buttons clearly, they don't always react to my touch, I misfire and click the wrong button on occasion, and using the controls implies adding smudges to the monitor.

Taking a look at the back of the monitor reveals a very simple interface. There is a VGA connection, a DVI connection, and a power plug. While I don't mind seeing trivial extras like USB and audio connection eliminated, on a monitor capable of 1920x1200 I would have liked to have seen an HDMI connection.
