SAMSUNG SyncMaster 19-inch TFT LCD Flat-Panel Monitor 930B

Product Review

Sage-like advice, when purchasing a computer monitor display, has always been "larger is better". That, of course, meant that if you had a conventional monitor, the size of the cabinet would occupy a considerable amount of work space. With LCD technology, this 19" screen monitor is less than 8 inches deep - with its tabletop stand. When compared to a CRT monitor, you'd need a CRT screen of 21 inches to match the image on this 19 inch flatpanel LCD. What about performance? This LCD screen delivers an 8 millisecond rated response time that translates as fast enough to display fast, action games with absolute realism. With a 700:1 contrast ratio and 300 cdm2 brightness rating, images are sharp, bright, and beautiful. This model goes one step further. Until recently, most computers came with Analog monitor connectors. The 930B has both analog and digital connectors to work with the old as well as new computers. And it's compatible to work with Windows PC and Macintosh models. This screen helps make computer use more pleasure than ever. This is a perfect opportunity for you. 160-degree viewing angle, horizontal and vertical Analog RGB and DVI digital inputs Picture enhancement technologies include MagicBright II, MagicColor and MagicTune Up to 1280x1024 resolution / Safe mode offers down-scaling to UXGA 0.294mm pixel pitch Windows Plug and Play DDC 2B compatible SyncMaster 930B is backed by a three-year parts and labor warranty, including the backlight.

I bought the 930B as a large LCD monitor for my mini mac. The mini mac has program icons all along the bottom of the screen, so lots fo real estate is needed.

I've also bought a Samsung 17 inch monitor for my PC so I'm no stranger to Samsung.

Installation is easy. Just screw on the base, and then hook up the power cord and monitor connection.

Although the instructions don't mention it, to get at the power cord and monitor connection, a plastic cover must be removed. Took me a few minutes to figure that one out.

The monitor worked straight away, no problems, stuck pixels, or whatever.

Needless to say, the extra real estate that a 19 inch LCD offers is well enjoyed after the price is forgotten.

I changed the resolution to 1280 by 1728 and I was away to the races.

A small point to consider is buy yourself a male-to-male DVI connection. It sharpens up the image a little in comparison to the VESA connector...Read more

I have just upgraded from a low budget17 in LCD from NEC/Mitsubishi. I upgraded for the bigger screen but wow! The picture quality and speed is nothin less than amazing. I felt it was a little pricey but the fellows at the store where I bought it said that for gaming, video, DVD movies and other things I do, this is a must. I am pleased to say that they where 100% correct. This monitor is more than I bargained for. Great response time 8ns and 700:1. seeing is believing, worth every dime. I am very pleased.

Great Monitor for Gaming, May 23, 2005

No Ghosting, extremely fast rate 8ms (almost unbelievable, but I am yet to experience a single ghosting incident while gaming or watching movies). Very good picture and very good design.

My only problem is that it is not made solid, and while punching your LCD screen should never be a habit, I still fear it will fall or break. That beings said, the base is very stable, and the chances of the LCD dropping off your desk is highly unlikely if even possible. Overall an excellent product well worth the price.
