Samsung SyncMaster T220

By Matthew Elliott (zdnet.com)

Is it possible to base an LCD purchase strictly on the display's bezel? If so, Samsung has an LCD to sell you. The Samsung SyncMaster T220 features the company's new Touch of Color bezel, which presents a most attractive visage. The black frame ...

Samsung SyncMaster T220

Smashing good looks ; matte finish means less glare than with glossy screens

A tad on the pricey side ; merely average performance and feature set ; wobbly stand

The Samsung T220 might be the most stylish LCD monitor we've seen, but average feature set and performance diminish its overall appeal. Despite its flashy looks, it's best used as a simple, productivity display.

Samsung SyncMaster T220HD

The Samsung SyncMaster T220HD ($400 street) brings multifunction monitor capabilities and style to your desktop at a very reasonable price. Solid color performance, a digital TV tuner, and a wealth of connectivity options make this versatile hybrid ...

Great color reproduction. Lots of A/V connections. Stylish design

Weak grayscale performance. Lacks USB ports. No VESA mount capabilities

Part HDTV and part LCD monitor, Samsung's SyncMaster T220HD is ideal for use in tight spaces such as dorm rooms and cramped workspaces. Its sleek lines and colorful bezel will dress up even the drabbest of desktops.

"Samsung T220 is one of the best Monitors around!"

By Spyromon (cnet.com)

CNET is soooo wrong about this monitor. It's ... 

Excelent colours, quality design, low power usage (compared to other top monitors)

This monitor is excelent only with DVI, but it's stupid to use the VGA on a toop monitor like this. A bit pricey but it's worth it (you can find it very cheap if you buy it on-line)

"Best display I've ever had!"

By vestige (cnet.com)

I usually appreciate and trust CNET's reviews... 

and I've had quite a few. Color, sharpness, construction quality?it's all there, IMHO. And as far as its being "pricey", well, you can find these on sale at PC shops for substantially less than the list price

The artsy-craftsy touch-responding on/off switch takes a bit of getting used to. But I have to admit, it has geek appeal
