Samsung Syncmaster 242MP Monitor

Samsung's 24-inch SyncMaster 242mp's claim to fame is a built-in TV tuner. We first looked at this model in the New Products section in PC World's August 2005 issue; this is the first time we've been able to compare it side-by-side with other 23- and...

Samsung SyncMaster 242MP

When it comes to monitors, Samsung has proven dominant in the market. In the past, they have released several multi-purpose monitors which were not up to snuff in the past, either due to low response times or poor integration of technology. Recently,...

It is a great display unit, but for me, it is not good enough to be a replacement for an LCD TV.

A television tuner doesn't turn this otherwise gorgeous monitor into a good TV.

Pretty awesome

This is a great wide big monitor that you can also watch some nice tv on.If you buy it you wont have buyers remorse,It still amases me after 5 months of use.

I bought this unit back in March and I still think it was my most important pc component.I did not buy this thru new egg but the rest of my pc was ; This is an amazing monitor colors and contrast cant be beat.The native resolution 1920x1200 is awesome...

Price,but you get what you pay for ; Higher response time,but I play fps's and have never noticed any ghosting.Does get hot and with my gaming pc can warm a room easily

Fantabulous

Picture and Picture TV while on the net or playing a game is great, never miss a show.

Easy to install. Great color and visual setting preferences are easy to set up. Works great with all the MMORPG games and CD Rom games I play. Good sound with stand up speakers (note: not attached) Looks great also

None that I can find

Samsung 243T beautiful widescreen LCD

I did quite a bit of research before finally buying the Samsung 243T widescreen LCD. I noticed that the black color seemed to be selling at a premium over the silver color. I've had both sliver and black monitors and never really thought about it...
