Samsung SyncMaster XL20

Advantages: Shiny and flat with clear images
Disadvantages: 24" is a big monitor

...1200 resolution. I also demanded extreme prettiness. Unfortunately times had changed. Manufacturers had decided that high resolution was only really required in larger screen sizes. My quest for a 19” super duper monitor was quashed. These demands were too much for the manufacturers of flash screens. I found monitors that were too big, that were too small, that had scummy resolution and most shockingly of all I found monitors I couldn’t bear to look at, such was their ugliness. Then I found the Samsung SyncMaster 2433. It was a whopping 24” but had that all important 1920 X 1200 resolution. Plus, it passed the pretty test. Black glossy and curvaceous, the Samsung ticked a lot of boxes. I was sold. So sold in fact, that I ordered 2. Oh yes. When they arrived they needed a minor amount of self assembly. This might seem odd, but the base... Read review

Advantages: Light to move about my desk, Very easy on the eye, uses less power and runs cooler.
Disadvantages: At first text is not quite so sharp as on CRT monitor, but I hardly notice this now.

...For months I yearned after one of those stylish LCD monitors, but wanting a nice big 19 inch model which tended to be more expensive, I have been waiting for the price to come down. Looking around the computer stores, it soon became obvious to me that the ones with the best quality seemed to be the Samsung and after visiting a relative and seeing that he actually had a Samsung, I was sold on this particular make. It wasn't long before I was unpacking the box of my new Samsung SyncMaster 193V and what a joy it was to lift it onto my desk without straining a muscle and now I had more room to put my clutter! Actually that's not quite true because with the stylish product on my desk and the extra room in front of it, I felt strongly inspired to clean up my space. When I did my research into TFT monitors, I discovered that it was... Read review
