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.
