The performance of this monitor is outstanding. It features an ultra-quick 2 ms response time, which will give extremely accurate reproduction of games or movies where action moves at a high rate of speed. This awesome speed is thanks to the MagicSpeed technology in this Samsung, which gives this monitor a big boost in pixel response.

The display of the 226 BW is a type of LCD called TFT, which is the most preferred choice of LCD available today. TFT stands for "thin film transistor," and it is used to improve image quality. You can find this technology on televisions, monitors, and projectors. Sometimes TFT screens are called "active-matrix screens," but it means the same thing. TFT screens produce probably the most accurate images on-screen with the technology available today, although they are also the most expensive.

What also stands out in these specs is the 16:10 aspect ratio of the 226 BW. This makes this monitor a true wide screen monitor. Not only is this great for watching movies on the computer and gaming, but it can also be used to run multiple applications side-by-side on the computer screen. It is almost like having two screens in one, because you basically have two full screens side-by-side. This kind of technology can be great for people who follow the stock market, people who research and write papers, and for those people who are multi-taskers and just need that in every part of their lives. We have all had times where we were switching back and forth between screens on the computer, and it get really frustrating and time consuming. The 226 BW can help resolve this problem, and can help to get work done on the computer much more efficiently.
