Advantages: 90 degree pivot tilt, should be very cheap to buy
Disadvantages: Slow response time, only 15 inch

...I've had this monitor now for a number of years. I bought it when TFT monitors were relatively new and paid around £170, though this was with a substantial discount from someboy I know who is in the trade. The Syncmaster 151B has now been superceeded many times over in terms of the technical specification but the fact remains that this is still a very good monitor. It has full 90 degree swivel so that it can be viewed in either portrait or landscape mode. Personally, I never use the portrait mode as it just doesnt look right in my opinion. As the monitor is a few years old, it only comes with the VGA interface instead of the newer DVI one. All settings are managed via the onscreen digital menus. From here you can control the brightness, colour, horizontal and vertical positions, language and display mode to name but a few... Read review

Advantages: Good Quality build and viewing
Disadvantages: no carry handle

...Intro ----- I replaced my work monitor recently with a new Samsung Syncmaster 710N for what I thought was a good price of £149 So far I am pretty pleased with it. Prices seems to vary but I would say if you can get it cheaper than £150 then go and buy one. I recently found these on PCworld.co.uk for a small £119…..great price Description --------------- I was impressed with this piece of kit when I unpacked it. For one I didn't think it was that heavy, perhaps not the lightest ever made but then at least your are getting some Samsung quality. The one thing I did notice was that there was no handle to hold it with. A lot of monitors have a recess to get your fingers in to allow you to carry it, no such luck here though. Assembling the monitor was easy, attaching the base stand took no time at all and was well described... Read review

Advantages: Large Resolution, Crisp Display
Disadvantages: Average response times

...The Syncmaster 2032MW TFT screen was specially designed by Samsung for gamers and graphic designers. With a 1000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a 20" 16:10 screen, the Syncmaster 2032MW has exceptional image quality and bright colours. The rich quality and crispness of the Samsung Syncmaster 2032MW is amazing, with response times as low as 5 ms, 16.2 million colours and a max resolution of 1680 x 1050 this monitor is perfect for all things computing. From gaming to watching real time TV. (Whats more, the Samsung Syncmaster 2032MW also includes a built in TV-Tuner) The SyncMaster Uses both RVB and DVI inputs and has a max power consumption of 45 Watts. The Samsung Syncmaster 2032MW isn't the best monitor on the Samsung Syncmaster line but its value money is better than most monitors with its large resolution it beats its... Read review

Advantages: Clear and bright screen, completely flat
Disadvantages: Could be larger, quite large tube

...I've been using this monitor for a couple of years now, I decided on Samsung as I bought a 15" Samsung Syncmaster monitor in 1995 and I still use it as a test monitor to this day, 10 years of use and still flawless, the reason I went for another Samsung. I've always been a fan of Samsung as I have never purchased a poor Samsung product. The Syncmaster 753DF is a 17" monitor of which around 16" is actually viewable. The actual screen is completely flat as opposed to the curved screens and I mean completely flat, you could put a spirit level across it and it would show you how flat the glass really is, I'm not sure what effect this is meant to have on the user but I prefer it to the standard curved screen. The glass on the monitor has an anti-reflective coating and surprisingly this does actually work; on a bright day you can still see... Read review

Advantages: Slim construction
Disadvantages: Was't very impressed with UHF picture

...I was offered a used model by a friend. It certainly looks the business & is very smart, when sat on the desktop. If you have a nice machine and it's good, you like to tell everyone else it's good too. Don't you? Well I love this monitor, if you want all the techy stuff look at the spec sheet! I'm just going to tell you what it's like for the average punter to use. The Syncmaster 710 MP is easy to use, is excellent when connected to your PC, has integral speakers , which won't blow your brains out, but make adequate noise to tell you what's happening. I personally prefer to use it as a monitor for my PC. The Syncmaster gives good picture & sound, when connected to Sky via a SCART cable, but using a simple stand alone UHF indoor aerial , means picture & sound quality suffer a bit. This machine is quite a handful... Read review

Advantages: Size & quality
Disadvantages: None that I could see

...was perfect for me, but obviously colour is purely a personal choice thing. I do think that the colour and design make it quite futuristic looking. The SyncMaster 720n comes with VGA Input. This is a standard video format and really does provide excellent image quality. Its a pretty time-tested and reliable format. Response Time is 8ms which I must say is super. What this means is how long it takes (in milliseconds) an LCD screen to go from gray-to-gray. This is a very important point in viewing moving images (for example movies or games). Basically the lower the response time the better the viewing experience. Another great point going for this monitor is the MagicTune (yes I did have to ask what this was !!!!) Basically this controls all the monitor settings. Because MagicTune uses an advanced display technology, called the DDC/CI (Display... Read review

Advantages: Excellent response time and clear screen
Disadvantages: Somewhat costly at well over £300

...I've been using the Samsung Syncmaster 710TM at work now for over a year and thought I'd write about how I feel about the monitor in general. We have 7 or 8 or these in the off
