Samsung 2693HM review

The Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM is a 25.5-inch LCD monitor that can be found online for as little as $444. It boasts a pleasing aesthetic, good performance, especially for movies, in the warm preset, and includes 360-degree rotation and 90-degree...

Very good performance, especially for movies; 360-degree rotation; unique buttonless OSD design; good price for such a large screen.

Flimsy, hollow plastic in back; cannot see or feel the OSD in dark; bad viewing angle from the bottom; overcalibrated "Cool" temperature setting.

The Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM proved itself to be an excellent overall performer, particularly during movie playback, and can be had for a fair price. Only a flimsy stand, an overcalibrated color-temperature setting, and a poor lower viewing angle...

Design, HDMI, 5ms response time, minimal trailing and ghosting during gaming, excellent colour and contrast

Touch-sensitive buttons lack a backlight, speakers are mediocre, vertical viewing angles could be improved

With HDMI, excellent colour and contrast and a nice design, the SyncMaster 2693 is a great all-round performer. Highly recommended.

Excellent monitor

Beautiful. large monitor with superb color and clarity. The size of this monitor makes working on my computer much more enjoyable than my old 19 in CRT. Personally, I really like the touch controls. Easy to use unless you are in a room with no light....

No dead pixels. Excellent clarity...plays games smoothly and with superb contrast. Very good view from different angles while sitting

None so far

An improvement from the 245bw

There are probably other, cheaper, and (perhaps) better solutions out there if you want a 1920*1200 display with a HDMI port. That said, the monitor performs well on the lagom.nl tests and the backlight bleed is greatly diminished from the 245bw. For...

I upgraded from a Samsung 245bw that I bought a couple of years ago. My main reasons for upgrading were the terrible backlight bleed and lack of HDMI port on the 245bw ; Fortunately the 2x93hm series takes care of these problems. There is still a small...

So far there's only two cons: the stand is very flimsy in comparison to the 245bw and the source switching is quite slow. DVI to HDMI switch takes about 6 seconds and from HDMI to analog takes about 3. The 245bw took 1-2 seconds from VGA to DVI ; Also...
