PC monitor and HDTV technology are converging in recent years. The new Samsung SyncMaster FX2490HD take this trend to its logic conclusion. Superficially, it’s a pretty ordinary 24-inch PC monitor, though it is a hip-looking example with a LED backlight. But it also packs a digital TV tuner and IR remote control.

So, it’s the ultimate two-in-one? Not quite. The panel HDTV sports an aping 16:9 aspect ratio and packs a 1080p Full HD pixel grid. However, if UK users are concerned, the TV tuner is not HD. It is standard DTV only. That means you need an external HD Freeview box or similar to HDTV images possible. In this sense, the Samsung SyncMaster FX2490HD is no more than an HDTV monitor with an HDMI port.

What’s more, at nearly 400 pounds, this is a pricey PC monitor, especially with the TN-LCD panel. For this kind of money you would normally expect one of the spectacular Samsung PVA panels.

A PC monitor, which acts as an HDTV is a great idea for a home office where space is at a premium. In theory, the Samsung SyncMaster FX2490HD delivers just that. It is a 24-inch PC monitor with a sleek industrial design that Samsung HDTV sets monkeys.

That means shiny plastic, an ultra-slim and fashionable chrome base. In short, it looks expensive. That’s a good thing because at nearly 400 pounds, it is indeed quite pricey for a 24-inch PC monitor with a TN panel.

Of course, the real claim to fame is FX2490HD HDTV functionality. It is here that things start going wrong for UK users anyway. Samsung has seen an HD cable TV tuner, as used in the U.S. fit. But DVB-T2 tuner required for HD Freeview in the UK is not present. There is only one standard definition DVB-T tuner.

Therefore it is even worse, the FX2490HD not have a DVI port, instead offering a pair of HDMI ports and a VGA connector. In theory HDMI should work fine with the standard DVI port of a PC and an adapter. In practice, the signal is a compatibility problem because it was during our test.

Long story short, we do not have any PC to get the correct scan FX2490HD. In fact we had the same problem using a PC with an HDMI port. The moral here is that a PC monitor to a DVI port, plain and simple.

As for image quality, testing the finesse is difficult as the screen is not properly scanned, but the base – including the brightness of the LED backlighting, viewing angles, black levels and vibrancy – looks good for a TN panel without any cheap oem software.

An all-in-one solution is an attractive idea for a cramped home office. Sure, the Samsung SyncMaster FX2490HD is a sexy bit of kit with a convincing-looking HDTV mini vibe. For the most part, it is well specified with LED backlight and a 1080p LCD.

The purchase of a new LCD monitor and then replace your old CRT monitor today we will replace your CRT monitor. Recently I bought a new Full HD LCD Monitor Samsung B2230 is a 22 inch wide screen. One thing is clear anytime Samsung products offer much better quality than any other design, such as BenQ and everything.

If you can remember, the design of this monitor seems to be inspired by the Samsung 2233 SW, except for the design of the edges that much of a rounded rather than sharp and the upper and lower portions have more of a concave shape. B2230 This monitor looks great with a concave shape of the backside and a glossy whole ring instead of a standard matte finish. The buttons on the front, feather touch buttons that are very comfortable to use. Although these buttons are not illuminated, it is no problem to change the settings in the dark as its dynamic contrast ratio display will be sufficient light, which even light can provide a space.

As you can see the back of the monitor a different light and beautiful design with lots of space between the power and ports like the VGA port. Absence of an HDMI port was rejected, but not anytime soon HD will be adopted in India with a lack of content of the lack of this feature should not hurt much.

In terms of energy savings, this monitor is no less than if Genie Genie different modes in which you can store energy for as low as 18 W in Eco mode, 21W in Standard mode and 37W in Game Mode was . There is currently no one offers accurate energy-saving technologies.

Samsung has always been one of the top LCD monitor makers and one of their newest models, the SyncMaster 2233SW is a 22-inch 16:9 widescreen display that offers full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080. The sleek design and good image quality make it an excellent contender if you’re looking for a new display.

Samsung 2233SW LCD Monitor Review

The design of the Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW is the same as any comparable LCD Samsung’s SyncMaster: shiny black with a glossy black finish for the bezel and stand. The screen itself is only 2.8-inches thick at the thickest point and all controls and power button located on the side of the screen. There are no speakers in the screen and on the back, VGA and DVI inputs but no HDMI. The holder can rotate the monitor back and forth for minor adjustments, but it should be placed as close to eye level as possible. There is no vertical adjustment allowed by the state, however, but this is usual with the latest Samsung SyncMaster monitors.

As mentioned in the intro, this monitor has a native HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and measures 21.5-inch widescreen with 16:9 aspect ratio. The contrast ratio is 15000:1, which means it leaves deep blacks and vibrant whites. The colors are very vivid and the picture looked great under normal circumstances. The widescreen aspect ratio allows users to do much of the screen “real estate”, which means that you have many different windows open once and they look at the same time. Should we also mention that the display itself is not glossy, which is much better for circumstances where overhead lights that otherwise would create glare on a glossy screen.

The on-screen menu is activated by a button on the right side of the monitor and you have the usual options, including brightness, contrast, etc. There is also an institution called MagicBright, which allows you a few custom settings: Internet, Gaming , Text and Custom. The menus themselves are very easy to navigate, unlike some other menus on other monitors. Looking at the text on this monitor appeared very sharp and colors were accurate and vibrant.

When fast moving content, there is no visible marks or fragments due to a lagging response time. The Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW has a 5 millisecond response time, which means that the pixels are able to quickly innovate to display moving objects with clear edges. Gaming looks very good on this monitor, even fast-moving 3D games.

One thing we were disappointed with the lack of an HDMI input since this monitor Samsung advertises as “full HD”. It can, as we said, give the HD native resolution of 1920×1080, but it’s not true high-definition HDMI and without your input.

Here is one word to describe Colour Samsung’s latest Touch (TOC) Monitor: wow. Since its introduction in the television from Samsung’s range, we fans of the ToC design, but the first performance on a monitor, the rose-tinted T200, let us clearly less impressed. However, new EcoFit Samsung SyncMaster P2370 more than makes up for his predecessors.

After a short break, 23IN form factor seems to be making a comeback. For those avid readers who perhaps remembering the recent announcement of Samsung’s QWXGA (2,048 x 1,152) 23IN Monitor, we’re sorry, but this is not the P2370 sports a 16:9 screen with a resolution of Full HD only 1920 x 1080. But quite apart from this is enough for many users, it’s so much about the chassis and the panel in his possession.

Samsung SyncMaster P2370 Monitor Review

There is a multitude of reasons why the P2370 looks better than the T200 or even the aforementioned Samsung T240HD 24in. First is the titular Touch of Color. Instead of the blatant red strip of its predecessors, the latter series is not just the color changed to a (in my personal opinion) beautiful blue, but their integration is now much more subtle. In fact, with the monitor installed you might have a hard time spotting.

You can see the monitor ‘leg’ is beautifully transparent, with a small blue section below casting reflections. Like the T200 this monitor has a clear plastic ‘shield’ on her ring, which goes beyond the edges of the ring, but again the implementation is much more attractive.

It extends now over and the edges are both thinner and more rounded, creating a smoother and more cohesive overall appearance. This also helps clear fingerprints are less visible, although the piano-black base is still as vulnerable as ever, Samsung provides a cleaning cloth to keep pristine.

Together with the transparent ‘leg’ and subtle ToC, the other major change in the SyncMaster T Series, this display’s thinness. Unlike the T200 is quite extensive, the P2370 measures just 47mm at its thickest point, tapering with smooth edges making it look slimmer still. This makes it slimmer than the notorious BenQ V2400W, although admittedly that was a 4:10 p.m. larger 24in display. There are a couple of negatives, though. First, its very wide margin, the P2370 is actually more space than most 24in monitors both the length and height, secondly, the state is free, but not very functional, with only tilt adjustment.

Samsung SyncMaster P2370 Monitor Review

Most stylish monitor from Samsung so far is almost as attractive as the back from the front. His back is a slippery slope without grids, apertures or screw covers, while the connections (straight from the face) are the only marring the surface, and they are as small as possible. First there is the connector that is small and round like the P2370 has a modest size external power supply. Not only was this a need to monitor as slim as it is, but the thin little cable looks much better than an ordinary kettle big lead.

Video connectivity is limited to DVI, with his big, bulky plug anything ruin the aesthetic. You might wonder why Samsung did not just go for the much smaller and more graceful HDMI, but the answer is simple: VGA compatibility, because this old standard is still used by most netbooks and many cheap laptops. As a fully digital standard, no HDMI does not support analog (except with special converters will cost upward of 150 pounds), while DVI does.

Of course Samsung would have gone with DisplayPort, which not only tight but fully interoperable and already found on monitors like the Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP and HP LP2475w excellent. However, this plus the necessary adapters would have added to the cost. As it is, you get a DVI to DVI and DVI to VGA cables in the box.

Returning to the design, its sleek exterior of this SyncMaster is not spoiled by the buttons, like the P2370 uses a touch-control system. Then put the only clue is a discreet power icon painted on the ring, which is printed in white lights. The rest of the ‘buttons’ are pure LED-based and can be set to stay at or just for a few seconds after pressing on the left of the symbol.

Fortunately, this monitor does not suffer from built-in speakers, so it’s time for the image quality. Unfortunately, a Samsung TN panel not live up to the chassis in which it is housed. Starting with the grayscale performance, put it on one of the worst shows we’ve seen in a long time, absolutely not to distinguish between a frighteningly large number of dark tones. In fact, nearly half of them were almost indistinguishable, in contrast to the one or two these days usually mixed at TNS.

Samsung SyncMaster P2370 Monitor Review

Another bright spot is the P2370 frankly amazingly low power consumption: it uses only a maximum of 30W and 1W in standby. Not only is this the lowest figure for a large display here we encounter, the suspect even if the 19in ViewSonic VX1962wm monitors! So, if you’re after a Full HD screen that is not too large or too heavy (it weighs only 4.1 kg P2370), while maintaining energy efficiency, this makes for an interesting option.

Regard to the value, the SyncMaster P2370 is not actually available to buy yet, but online pre-order prices seem to hover between € 200-250. This is likely to go down the monitor after a few weeks, but even at the current price of 222 pounds, the P2370 is quite cheap given the eco-friendly credentials and designer looks. If a chassis is anything you fancy after all, the BenQ V2400W dropped to about the same price as its research, providing different but equally attractive appearance, a much thinner margin, three entrances and much more screen real estate.

If after a certain versatility while still stylish look, a private SyncMaster T240HD from Samsung comes with more connections than you can stick shaking (including multiple HDMIs, digital audio and component), a built-in TV tuner and remote control , all for around £ 250 mark. Of course, you lose the slenderness and sit with a touch of red and more than double the power, but bang for your buck is what you’re after, then it is a good alternative.

Conclusion

Samsung SyncMaster P2370 is a stiff competitor for its designer monitor from BenQ in the looks department and is arguably more attractive, but does not offer the same connectivity and the picture quality is slightly underwhelming. However, not only is the competitively priced, offering incredibly low power consumption and light weight to boot, matching the style with some substance.

The LED-backlit discussed the next step forward in desktop TFTs quite some time, and Samsung’s latest gives us an opportunity to see how it works in a mainstream consumer model. The XL2370 is a SyncMaster 23IN LCD Samsung with the usual glossy black finish and thin neck stand, and behind the 1080p panel is a 250cd/m2 LED backlight.

Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 Review

With lots of 350cd/m2 and 400cd/m2 even models available that figure is not impressive, but the technology has its strengths. It is efficient, drawing less power (31W on the desktop) and produce less heat than CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent), making the body of the monitor to be thinner than usual. But the more noticeable benefit is the increased contrast, as the LED backlight can basically be reduced to zero for a completely black pixel.

Connecting it to our test PC and incite DisplayMate, the XL2370 not jump out as any other masters of the previous sync. Indeed, the black level was a bit bluish and uneven, while the colors were muted a bit more lively next models. But images and text were sharp, gradients were perfectly smooth and of course there was no backlight bleeding on the edges.

Video clips and games looked very good, but we were aware that we do not push Samsung to limit it to the monitor we could 5,000,000:1 ridiculous “Mega” dynamic contrast ratio. The result was like any previous dynamic contrast adjustment we’ve seen, but increased to eleven.

Dark scenes got darker and bright scenes become even lighter, to the extent that some scenes were actually variable headache-inducing. And it seemed like how dark it might look: the opening scene of Wall-E had schizophrenic flicker when it tried to work out what the brightness space should be, a response test with a white box bouncing around a black background saw the backlight completely off.

Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 Review

Granted, it is an extremely attractive TFT in terms of design, with a glowing touch panel and a transparent edge of the ring, and the choice of DVI and HDMI ports on the back is a good idea. The power supply is external, which helps to keep the thickness.

With a dynamic contrast disabled, this is the only practical way of using this screen, you big advantages are the reduction of the size and power consumption. And while certainly attractive, they are hardly enough to put a price that is a good 70 pounds more than excellent SM2494HM Samsung’s justifiable.

Green does not have to waste. While environmentally friendly cars, cat litter and cleaning products leave us all longing for the earth devastating originals monitors actually seem better than they get greener. Samsung BX2450. The 24-inch LED-backlit display offers a similar service to its CCFL-lit competitors, but thinner, lighter, and consumes only 27 watts instead of 48 watts, for an impressive power reduction of 43 percent, while maintaining the image quality is a priority.

Features

The BX2450 is a 24-inch 1080p display and the largest in Samsung’s 50 LED series, which includes 23 -, 22 -, 20 – and 19-inch models. The 50 LED series fills a practical niche over the 31 series LED displays, the high-end Touch of Color bezel deficiency, and the 70 LED series, which until the level of many of its TV sets in the design and specifications. Use all three LED-backlit display for instant-on brightness, energy efficiency, and to their ultra-slim design match. The BX2450 weighs 8.8 pounds and measures lightweight, only about three quarters of an inch thick, making it easy enough (though not necessarily advisable) to pick up with one hand.

The LCD panel on the BX2450 features 250 cd/m2 brightness, 2ms response time and displays 16.7 million colors with a claimed viewing angle of 170 degrees horizontally and 160 vertically.

Besides the advantages of LED lighting, Samsung has the BX2450 automatically with many high-end features such as magic angle to compensate for off-angle viewing, Magic Eco adjust the brightness in dark environments, and Magic return, packed the contents of Bounces a second monitor to the first loss in the event signal.

Design

Inky Samsung Touch of Color design has pushed his television to the top of many wish lists, style-conscious in recent years and the BX2450 follows in the same artfully tread footsteps. Instead of throwing a black border around the plastic display, calling it a day around the opaque Samsung panel with a coat of transparent plastic, which gives it a three-dimensional appearance, and about a quarter inch thick, a nice solid feel, too. On the back of the black base blends into a baked plastic surface almost looks like a woodcut.

The catcher, however, is the highly polished state, shooting down at the desk and spread at 45 degrees in either direction. A quick tap is unfortunately clear that it is not real metal, but it breaks a reasonable likeness and from a practical point of view, no one will be any wiser than the Dwight Schrute of the world.

Connections and Accessories

Around back the BX2450 provides a VGA port and two HDMI ports and an analog audio output. We typically complain about the lack of DVI in a desktop monitor, but also packages the Samsung display with an HDMI-DVI cable, to facilitate the compatibility condition. There is, one VGA cables guarantee it, you hook the SyncMaster to almost everything. The box also includes clean microfiber cloth for keeping the bezel, a CD with drivers and Samsung MagicTune software and a thin paper manual setup.

Although the SyncMaster one step higher than budget level shows it is to monitor a consumer and it lacks many of the extras you on a business-oriented to find one, like a USB hub could be built-in speakers or a VESA wall mount.

Out of the Box of BX2450 weighs in on the cool side of the color spectrum, washed with a bluish glow, and despite excellent brightness, it actually looks a little bit. The fairly standard color sound selection allows us to warm up the image a bit, and switching HDMI black level to “low” instead of “normal” decided to wash part.

dialed in with the image, provides the SyncMaster2450 a sharp, well balanced picture with accurate color, and surprisingly good black levels of this price level. On the desktop, it courageous, made more readable way than our SyncMaster P2770HD and in games and movies in HD, its 2ms response time proved unshakable: zero motion blur. In Mafia II, it treats the acceleration of hot rods and split-second wrist flicks to change the view without complaint, and it managed to keep the game balance of light and darkness, without the details of an extreme (you never want to take a .45 in the arm, because you could not see fedora peeking in the shade). Hardcore gamers may want to end the game Vsync can to prevent tearing.

Of all the test battery, we threw them, the BX2450 only major failing was to be seen on hills, the small strip. Although it is quite small and never clearly in photos, graphics that fade from one color to another is to break into streaks instead of smooth the transition, an indication that it is not capable of as many colors such as monitors, please forward this can apply, such as bringing SyncMaster P2770HD.

Controls and menus

While the Samsung BX2450 rewards users with a rich, balanced image with the correct settings, straining the buttons to go there can be emotionally difficult, especially because of the choice to Samsung Invisible Touch controls instead of using real buttons. In contrast to the SyncMaster P2770HD the symbols used, the LED lights under the bezel will show you where to touch, the monitor uses arrows on the screen shows the parts of the bezel should perform different functions. Not surprisingly, given the very vague visual cue, seem to register properly affect about half of the time, making it incredibly difficult to make even basic changes.

Even if they do a click-through, will leave the menu system left much to be desired: there is no explanation of the proprietary Samsung features like MagicBright or MagicEco or magic return, and the paper guide does not deal with them, consult you must Samsung Marketing to know what you adjust. Some features and gray, without explanation, and although the monitor has no speakers, pressing up or down inexplicably tells you the volume setting.

Most users will only deal with this inconvenience once, but discourage further improvements so much that we suspect many owners settle for subpar image quality out of the box, just because you can not stand trying to make it look better.

Samsung draw: MagicTune software, which can actually tweak the monitor settings with the mouse and keyboard as an on-screen controls. While it would be better, not junk up your computer with additional software, instead of just doing it correctly on the display, we will admit it works amazingly well and we could do this in a few seconds, which took a few minutes with the awful built-in controls.

For the price BX2450 Samsung delivers style, energy efficiency, and with the correct settings, excellent image quality. Although the controls and menu system is a barrier to achieving this last, most important aspect that users are patient enough to work through them or just install MagicTune with brilliant photos, crisp text and liquid films and games will be rewarded.

Samsung has taken the style of his earlier LCD televisions to its latest LCD monitors. Although the LED backlighting technology is lacking in many current TVs and deprived to see an HDMI port, offers the P2250 21.5in SyncMaster LCD monitor good all-round image quality.

Samsung has released many 23-inch LED monitor and the SyncMaster BX2350 is yet another. It has a look very similar to the PX2370 and XL2370 but there are some visible differences to stand with his foot. The chrome legs are at 45 degrees, provides maximum stability, while the PX2370 had a circular base angle. If we move into features two HDMI port BX2350 has while the other two have only one. Its performance is comparable to the PX2370 but steps back into gaming.

Many of you would be compared to fans of good touch-screen buttons, but the positions of the keys are important because there are easy opportunities for supply of the monitor off. The on screen display is almost similar, but not better than the PX2370 then the price at $ 400. We recommend the Samsung PX2370 because it contains a better OSD.

Design

This is the third 23-inch LED monitor in less than a year from Samsung. The BX2350 can be said as a combination of XL2370 and PX2370. The square corners PX2370 be found, but the rest of the design profile is similar to XL2370. The similarities end with the transparent plastic overlay for the outer edge. As I said, has the BX2350 has two chrome-plated feet at 45 degrees in contrast to the PX2370 XL2370 and the round and oval shape was bent. The foot is 14.3 inches wide, and thus to overthrow the chance is very minimal.

The bezel measures 0.8 inches wide and 0.75 of an inch deep. The whole width of the plate is 21.8 cm and the distance from the desktop to steady 3.5. They receive no height or pivot adjustment, not even swing option, but you can tilt the monitor back up to 10 degrees. The horizontal grooves on the back give a board feel.

Connection options include two HDMI ports, a VGA and an audio output. It is sad that the Samsung monitor without DVI port has left. However, Samsung has included an HDMI-DVI cable included, and thus, most of the graphics card to connect. All connections are provided at the back. Access to the ports might be difficult, since all the connections back in contrast to other monitors that had downward facing ports face.

The OSD array is given on the right corner of the bezel. The PX2370 chic look has been retained, but the functionality is what has been sacrificed. The array includes a menu option, give, press car and up and down. As usual, twice as up and down keys as their functions preset shortcut and the other as a customizable shortcut key. Options such as brightness, sharpness and contrast can be set through the picture options. The hue can be set to Normal, Cool, Warm or Custom will be established. With the Custom option allows you to separate the values of green, red and blue. Apart from these, are five presets Game, Cinema, Standard, Custom and Dynamic Contrast.

Samsung has included the monitor with magic properties that we saw in the PX2370. Included in it the magic of Eco, an energy saving function that allows the brightness is up to 50 percent in increments of 25 percent. If you use two monitors, brings back the magic feature all the controls from secondary to primary monitor when the secondary monitor happens to lose power. The PX2370 had some problems are being solved.

Performance

As mentioned above, its performance is very similar to the PX2370. BX2350 out exactly the same as its predecessor, if a computer with an HDMI input connected. There is no problem displaying text on the screen and to reduce their size to 6.8 points. BX2350 is exactly the color details in comparison with the PX2370.

Optimum viewing angle for a monitor is usually directly in front and the Samsung BX2350 is not exception. Monitors with TN panels result with more brightness or darkness when looking at non-optimal angle. BX2350 uses a TN panel and therefore the same results. But with the help of the magic angle function, it is possible for certain non-optimal viewing angles. The settings include Lean Back Mode 1 and 2, standing mode, group, and Preview mode. The choice of each mode to increase the brightness of this particular angle. Group View is a new mode that we have not seen in PX2370.

Although the monitor results in almost equal parts to the PX2370, its power consumption is more. The annual electricity consumption costs BX2350 more than $ 8, $ 1 is more than the PX2370.

Samsung has a long history of remaining at the top of the display design, whether it’s with ultra-slim, brushed metal-TV as the C8000 series or “touch of color” monitors such as the Ecofit SyncMaster P2370. In fact the latter is a relevant comparison, as we now checking out the same size SyncMaster PX2370. This 23IN, LED-backlit monitor sports an even slimmer case with more inputs and outputs, better power management and physical controls, without that all important Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution.

As almost always the case with monitors these days, the PX2370 is very easy to set up physically. Just click on the base in the screen of the connected, unplug and relocate a thumb screw and you’re good to go. As you may have guessed, but is unfortunately limited tilt adjustment. While this is pretty much the norm, especially among designers have shown how these monitors, fully adjustable operators such as the BenQ and the Samsung SyncMaster V2410T BX2240, there are alternatives. Unfortunately, build quality is adequate rather than good creak, with far too much for our taste.

Unlike its adjustability or build, the PX2370 is integrated subtle, back-side connectivity is very impressive. For video, you will receive your choice of DVI or HDMI digital inputs. This means no VGA, but Samsung has kindly provided a VGA to DVI cable for those who still need and there is an “Auto” button, an analog signal for this scenario very resynchronises.

While the PX2370 can be grateful to speakers, it features top-of-the-line audio outputs, the audio will carry-out of the HDMI source. In addition, analogous to the standard 3.5 mm audio jack, which is normally used for this purpose many monitors’s found, you will also find a rare (at least for a monitor without a TV ambitions), but very welcome digital optical output, so you can Perfect fit quality 5.1 surround sound to an external speaker.

As we have come to expect from Samsung, the PX2370 aesthetics arrested – and we mean that in a good way. There is no “touch of color” here, but most will probably prefer the monochrome scheme of this model: we certainly do. Its size even black bezel is charming with a deep transparent surround system, an effect in the stands and semi-transparent smoked black repeated basis.

Although it’s pretty much black glossy plastic, it is more resistant to fingerprints, as such, we end’ve come across recently, and you can touch a whole thanks to the thick transparent edge. Overall, this monitor is very slim (26.5mm at its thickest point), and its design is cohesive and eye catching. In fact, we prefer his angular body to earlier, Samsung generally curvier efforts.

At the bottom of the shield is the power button, marked with a light white curved LED strips and a chrome outer rim. Although it looks like a physical button, the switch is actually activated by touch and is very sensitive.

The PX2370 the controls on the other side are actually physical buttons, hidden behind the right side of the bezel with the identification icons on the screen extremely slim side hidden. These keys would be much better if the VGA-Sync button (which, incidentally, lacking any secondary function) was worked by the OSD controls moved. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and since all five buttons are the same shape and size, it is easy to get confused. However, starting from the course they are among the four main fingers and offer positive feedback when you tilt the screen a little wiggle when you press them.

Shortcuts are brightness control, MagicBright presets (Custom, Standard, Game, Cinema and Dynamic Contrast), and input selection. Unfortunately, we found input switching – whether manually or automatically – to be frustratingly slow, but that’s only a problem if a part of the minority, the switch inputs are regular.

Who the OSD to display a current Samsung find no surprises. Despite only having three colors, it is attractive, informative symbols and a logical layout. All the usual options at hand, although there are a few Samsung-exclusive ‘Magic’ supplements, which are only on their high-end TN-based monitors (we recognize that an oxymoron) can be found.

The most controversial of these is likely to change magic angle, a series of specially adapted “perspective” preset, the image properties in order for TN technology to compensate for inherently poor viewing angle performance. While it is nice to have if you usually sit in the same orientation on your ad, it would not be necessary if a panel with superior technology was used to start.

Magic and Magic Lux Eco, on the other side would make real extensions for each monitor. The former controls the PX2370′s ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the brightness of the backlight depending on the amount of ambient light, while the latter lowers the brightness of the backlight to durable maxima, so that an already economically Monitor (thanks to its LED backlighting) is also more energy efficient. In fact, according to the calibration of the PX2370 remained under 19W, and the activation of the lowest setting of three Magic Eco brought this to an impressive 12W average.

But ultimately, what each monitor should be about the image quality, and here the 23IN PX2370, with its Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution, decent scores. There were some minor inconsistencies, but no backlight bleeding, the latter of which is often more disturbing – especially in the black borders of widescreen movies. Angle was slightly above the average, less contrasted layer as found on most TN panel monitors, therefore, should not be a problem just with family or friends.

Grayscale differentiation was also good for this type of screen, and we managed to calibrate it, so that was the darkest shadows visible – albeit at the expense of white purity and differentiation. This is a reasonable compromise for the average user as it gives you additional details in movies and games, which tend to be predominantly dark. Speaking of detail sharpness was very good, although it is rare to find different in those days.

We found banding varies quite dependent on settings. At best, it was hardly noticeable, while at its worst, it was obvious all along the line. Mind you, this is particularly visible in large gradients, it is not something one commonly noted in most real-world scenarios, and we would not recommend a TN-based display for photo enthusiasts anyway.

That is all very encouraging, but there is little doubt that the PX2370 is expensive for what you get. Once again, Samsung is its own worst enemy, demanded than 50 less than the 265 pounds of the PX2370 get to buy Samsung SyncMaster F2380M, the Full HD, HDMI-enabled 23IN cousin of the award-winning F2080. Based on essentially the same chassis as its smaller 20in cousin, the F2380M should offer better build quality, fully adjustable and far superior image quality thanks to its use of a TN panel instead of CPVA.

If energy efficiency is more important than image quality, fully adjustable, the SyncMaster BX2240 have you covered for less than 200, while the SyncMaster P2370HD (monitor and TV hybrid) has been hit in the function count. All this taken into account, the premium for its thinness is just too high.

Conclusion

Besides being one of the slimmest monitors that we have ever thanks to its LED-backlit seen sporting the Samsung SyncMaster PX2370 an attractive design, a few nice extras and halfway image quality. However, if weight loss is not your top priority, it is much too expensive to be desirable for all but the well-heeled buyers.
