Samsung Syncmaster 245B

$475.00 Released November, 2007

The Pros:Picture is crisp, clean and bright - far superior to competitors from Gateway and Samsung. 178-degree viewing angle provides maximum visibility - display edges are not blurry or under-saturated. Hard button controls provide firm, responsive adjustment - more reliable than common touch/heat-sensitive panel controls.

The Cons:Monitor may emit a slight medium-pitched buzz - likely to annoy some users, especially those planning to use the display for work purposes. Seemingly prone to backlight failure upon excessive use - screen will experience lighting inconsistencies before going completely dark.

The Samsung Syncmaster 245B is a 24-inch widescreen LCD computer monitor with a native resolution of 1920 x 1200 at a 16:10 aspect ratio. This display features a dynamic response time of 3000:1 and a static response time of 1000:1.
