Samsung SyncMaster 245B LCD Monitor

I always thought that any LCD monitor with a screen size of 17" - 20" and a decent resolution of 1280x1024 is enough for today's applications. Well, for most cases ... it is enough. But having said that, I'm actually wrote this review using my notebook...

- A massive 24" screen, - Max. resolution of 1920x1200, - Detachable speaker module with stereo sound, - 5ms response time, - Support HDCP, - DVI, D-Sub connectors

Samsung SyncMaster 245BW Widescreen LCD Monitor

Affordable 24" Widescreen, MagicTuneTM and MagicBright Software allow calibration control within Windows, Accurate Colors, 4-way Adjustable Stand (5-way including disabled pivot feature), No-Frills, Attractive Cabinet & Stand, Zero Dead Pixels,...

Inaccurate Advertised Contrast Ratio, High-Gloss Finish Reflects Images, Backlight Bleed, Inaccurate/Poor Viewing Angles, Pivot Feature is Disabled

The retail package is typical for a consumer brand, and is little more than a box that displays minimal content or images of the product within and could easily be confused with other SAMSUNG products. The included MagicBright and MagicTuneTM software...

So should we opt for this screen if we want a large inexpensive monitor- In the same price range, the older Acer AL2416W with its PVA panel offers wider viewing angles and better reactivity. However, its base isn't vertically adjustable and there is no...

Samsung SyncMaster 245B

Rarely do we review monitors that don't require a lot of calibration, but Samsung's 245B was almost perfectly set up straight out of the box. We only ...

Suitable for watching high-definition movies and DVDs, good brightness and contrast

Noticeable colour-shift when viewed from the sides, it doesn't have a component input, slight red discolouration in the grey level

It's not a perfect monitor; viewing from the sides and from the top causes some colour-shift and it did look a little dull in our photo tests, but the 245B is a decent high-definition monitor for productivity and multimedia use. Because it's a...

Samsung SyncMaster 245B 24in Monitor

A Samsung 24in monitor at a truly stunning price - what's the catch?

When it comes to 1080p video, a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution screen simply doesn't have enough physical lines at its disposal, not to mention that the full HD standard resolution is 1,920 x 1,080. With that in mind, a 1,920 x 1,200 screen obviously has...

Samsung SyncMaster 245B

It's accurate, adjustable and stylish, and the price simply beggars belief.

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Big, bright, high resolution and good colours

I've purchased this screen at a price of 400€ to replace my aging 19 inch SyncMaster, which lacked a DVI port and was becoming too small for my taste. I originally opted for a 20 inch widescreen, but when I saw all those huge 24 inch models with...

Very large and bright screen with high resolution, high contrast and good colors.

Pivotable base is slightly unstable, vertical viewing angle could be better.
