Samsung SyncMaster 243T 24-inch LCD Display Review

The included Pivot Pro utility offers good functionality for those who want to pivot the SyncMaster 243T's screen to portrait mode.

There are only a handful of 24" LCD displays in existence with the specs and quality of this one, and if you are in the market for a high quality wide screen LCD for computing applications, I do not think you will be disappointed with the Samsung...

Samsung SyncMaster 243T

I am greatly sorry I ever purchased this monitor. At 11 months it simply died. A call to customer service was an exercise in patience and tolerance of plain stupidity. The only thing the "tech" kept saying was ' I don't know sir , I don't know sir, I...

Great Monitor!

This is an awesome monitor. It's BIG. You can look at two full pages of text side by side with some room to spare. Once I got used to this monitor, using smaller "normal" ones was like being locked up in a steamer trunk. The color quality is great....
