Samsung SyncMaster 2494HM
$349.00
Released May, 2009
The Pros:Dual digital inputs (HDMI, DVI) as well as the basic analog VGA. Large 24" display size. Ergonomic stand - portrait mode, height adjustable.
The Cons:Cheap TN panel - affordable price at the expense of viewing angles and colour quality. Not that fast for a TN panel - better monitors out there for fast gaming. Annoying backlight buzz below 88% brightness.
