Samsung SyncMaster 305T
If you thought 24″ LCD’s were big, wait until you the Samsung SyncMaster 305T. The 305T is 30-inches of pure 16:10 wide-screen goodness. With a native resolution of 2560×1600 pixels, you will see everything.

Samsung SyncMaster 915N Review
A little while back I decided that I could not deal with my CRT anymore. I was staring at a device for eight or more hours a day and it seemed like every day I had a headache. No matter what I set the refresh rate to, I just couldn’t deal with it anymore, not to mention the lack of screen real estate that I had on it.
I splurged and bought a 19″ LCD to augment, but more or less replace my 17″ CRT monitor, and it really does make a difference. The monitor I chose was the Samsung SyncMaster 915N. While it does not have some of the newer features, it is a great deal, and is working rather well for me, but that does not mean it is perfect either.
Specifications
Response Time: 8ms
Viewing Angle: 160 / 160 (Horizontal / Vertical)
Contrast Ratio: 700:1 (Typical)
Resolution: 1280 x 1024 (Native)
Brightness: 300 cd/m2
Overall
What I really like about this monitor is the clarity, and simplicity, but the lack of a DVI port is a bit bothersome. I personally have not noticed much of a difference not having it, and it is still quite an improvement over my older monitor. The bezel around the monitor, is a little thicker than some might like, but I think it is perfect, especially since it is thinner than many other models currently on the market, and the simple matte black finish matches everything I own for my computer.
The things I really dislike about the SyncMaster 915N are few, but very noticeable during use. One of my biggest complaints is that the viewing angle seems a little horrible. If you are too far to the sides, it becomes quickly unreadable, and while most of the time I am front and center with the monitor, for entertaining friends, I have noticed some issues. Another noticeable problem is that the buttons on the monitor are basically unreadable without the brightest daytime conditions, thus making it difficult to edit the settings, which depending on the lighting conditions you will need to do.
One last slight peeve with the LCD is that you can only tilt the screen. There are no height adjustment options, and in this day and age, that seems a little odd to me, as putting a telephone book under the monitor for taller people like myself, and removing it for shorter people like my wife can be very annoying, but it can be something necessary for proper long term comfort.
I still recommend this monitor, but feel it lacks in features and is falling quickly behind the curve compared to other monitors currently out on the market for a few more dollars.
Samsung SyncMaster 970P review
ZDNet UK reviews the Samsung SyncMaster 970P, a 19-inch LCD monitor with a minimalist look.
The Samsung SyncMaster 970P combines excellent performance with a uniquely clean design. The monitor’s bezel has no buttons of any sort, and the connections, typically located on the back of the panel, have been exiled to a separate block that’s connected to the monitor by a lone cord. This arrangement gives the 970P a very simple look, with just one visible cable and no other visual distractions, but it makes adjusting the picture somewhat more complicated. At £299 (ex. VAT), the SyncMaster 970P is expensive, although we think its top-notch performance, flexibility and design are worth the price.
ZDNet liked the simple design, with the control buttons laid out of sight, and the video and power connectors likewise relegated to a separate block outside of the monitor’s body itself. You also get a rotary jog-dial. Sounds like Apple-inspired, indeed! Color-reproduction was found to be good, save for some pink flushes.
The monitor got an above-average score of 7.2, meaning it’s good but not quite an excellent choice yet. I’d say the price factor is a hindrance, at £299.
This LCD is a great choice for anyone who wants an uncluttered desktop.
Zenview Command Center Elite
Like a few other monitor makers in the past, Zenview is looking to show off what it hopes is its claim to fame, a six LCD monitor setup, that will have most gamers drooling until sparks fly from their computers.
With six, twenty-four inch displays, you are looking at a total resolution of 5760 by 2400 pixels, and with each monitor having a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and a speedy 6ms response time, I have to wonder, is this thing going to cost an arm and a leg or is it vaporware?
After reading up on it, I found that the whole set-up will set buyers back only $11,999, which in my mind is pretty much what I figured for six 24″ LCD’s. You can order it today from Digital Tigers.

Samsung SyncMaster 204t 20-inch rotating LCD
Samsung makes some really nice LCD’s, but their latest the 204t does not really do it for me. Being able to change the orientation is nice, but the price tag and response time really put me off. Engadget has a few more details.
From Engadget:
We know you want a larger LCD display, and Samsung’s got it, with the 20-inch SyncMaster 204t. The display includes Samsung’s MagicTune software for adjusting settings, and its MagicRotation technology, which lets you spin the display for kicks to change its orientation. With a street price of about $600, we still would have liked to see a faster response time than 16 milliseconds, though only gamers and action flick fans may really notice.

Samsung Unveils `Health-Friendly’ Monitor
“The MagicGreen monitor has received good response from China, Iran and Korea, where it has been rolled out. We hope to sell 50,000 units of this product in India in the next four months,” Ravinder Zutshi, Deputy Managing Director of Samsung India Electronics.
Samsung India on Friday announced the launch of its health-friendly `MagicGreen’ monitor, which emits far-infrared rays and anion rich radiation that improves the user’s metabolism and makes the working environment bacteria-free.
The company said that the silver nano coating in the product serves to remove odours from the environment, making the air fresh and clean. The MagicBright technology allows for change in screen brightness to suit multiple applications. The technology allows specialised settings for applications such as movie mode, game mode, Internet mode and text mode.
Zutshi said Samsung has identified products such as notebook PCs, multi-function printers and TFT LCD monitors as growth engines for its business this year.
Samsung SyncMaster 930B
CNET has a nice detailed review of the SyncMaster 930B. Samsung used to be a pretty quality name, but it does not seem like the editors at CNET really liked this latest 19″ release as the basically call it “boring” on all fronts.
From CNET:
“There’s nothing particularly special about the 19-inch Samsung SyncMaster 930B LCD monitor. Its plain, black body isn’t adjustable, and its performance is just good enough for basic productivity tasks in a home or office setting. Aside from the included MagicTune calibration software and digital input, the SyncMaster 930B doesn’t really deliver what we’d expect from a $379 monitor. We prefer the Dell UltraSharp 1905FP or the LG Flatron L1981Q, which offer more adjustability and better image quality for the same price.The SyncMaster 930B’s very basic black design is decidedly nondescript and will blend into the background of almost any office setup. An 0.75-inch-thick matte-black bezel surrounds its 12-by-15-inch viewing area. The large, black base is sturdy; the neck is not adjustable. You can tilt the SyncMaster 930B 30 degrees backward, but you can’t swivel the display side to side or pivot it from landscape to portrait. Six menu-control buttons hide under the bottom bezel, and you have to look very closely to read their labels. We like the removable plastic piece that hides the inputs and the cables, though it lacks any mechanism to keep the cables organized.
At its native resolution of 1,280×1,024, the SyncMaster 930B mustered an average performance on CNET’s DisplayMate-based tests. Text looked relatively crisp, and grayscales showed a slight hint of red, though black and white were hue free; blues and greens also showed a reddish tinge. These imperfections shouldn’t affect productivity tasks such as word processing and Web surfing. Unfortunately, the SyncMaster didn’t perform as well in our uniformity tests. We saw some obvious light patches on the bottom of the screen and some darker blotches in the upper-left portion of the screen; these issues may affect everyday viewing. Our DVD-playback tests showed only minor ghosting, and our video game testing didn’t show any distortion, even in fast-moving scenes.”
