They are ok to listen to voice messages, or maybe some streaming talk radio, but is seriously lacking for music or games. Moreover, as mentioned, leaving the label on the bottom of the screen are not remnants of the ring, and it is very difficult to get started. It is the end of my discontent.

Samsung BX2231 21.5-Inch Widescreen LED-Backlit LCD Monitor (Black)
Advantages:
Bright, good color quality. Fine, sharp image. Decent black. Many menu items. Three video inputs. No dead pixels. Bottom-mounted touch control is easier (for me) than the front. Sleek, cool running and easy. No ghosting. Decent viewing angles for a non-PVA panel.
Cons:
A little light bleed at the edges. So sad (to me) until I adjusted some settings in the menu. Less than you might think, if you're used to bigger screens, 04:03. To have a power source instead of a straight plug in is so tough. Only 1920:1080, 1920:1200 no.
Others:
I got this screen, especially since it was the least I could see from Samsung, which had completed 1920:1080 resolution (I would have a 1920 x 1200, but apparently Samsung does not matter anymore). I wanted a fine dot pitch and I got it. The text and images are sharp and clear. The size is smaller than I expected, but I got used to it. Text is much clearer than the larger screens, I consider it a bargain.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of color compared to my old screens. I do not know if it's LED-backlit or not, but it looks good. Black levels are pretty good too. I had to change the "HDMI Black Level" setting mode from "normal" to "low" to get a decent picture, however. No shadows in my game either.
Finally, the real viewing angles approaching specifications, still not as good as my Samsung PVA, but still much better than I used-to-be-top-of-the-line without PVA Samsung. The "magic angle" but is apparently just a software option and not a machine technology. However, viewing angles are still good.
All in all, this is a quality monitor at a good price. I was especially impressed with the menu options. If you can live with a smaller screen, this should please you. Although ostensibly a beginner's screen is slightly better than all my old semi-high end ones and it was much cheaper too. I highly recommend this, given the price.
