What a huge bang for your buck

It's hard to know where to start the eulogising.

I needed another monitor for our other pc. The first has a Samsung 244T that is absolutely superb and so it should be for the cost.

Once you've got used to the real-estate of a 24" screen you really can't go back, so knowing I couldn't afford another 244T I shopped around and was glad I did.

This screen (not purchased through Amazon) is simply superb. Don't be mistaken on the 300:1 brightness level, I had to turn the brightness way down out of the box. This also helps to promote backlight longevity as they do fade over time.

The DC (Dynamic Contrast) works, and works well. Build quality is typical Samsung: Superb.

It does have HDCP despite other reviews on other sites. But Amazon's max resolution (of 1680x1050) is incorrect. The screen displays 1920x1200 with either an analogue or DVI connection at 60hz.

Watching HD content how it's meant to be watched is easily accomplished by this screen. 1080P anyone?

Lastly, you can pay nearly this much for a (good) 1680x1050 (20-22") screen, so force yourself to find the extra £60 or so and stump for this, it nicely displays photoshop with menu's leaving enough space for a decent sized rendition of the image you're working on. Document pages side by side are equally viewable.

Honestly, you simply cannot do better for the money. Forget the pretenders at this resolution and price point and just purchase this.

Want more desk space?

Compact, neat appearance, strong (used with a 21" CRT monitor) and completely height adjustable. Plenty of room to store mouse, mat and keyboard to give more desk space when needed. Very pleased with everything about this product.
