Top-rated Samsung monitors

I really can't shake a stick these days without running smack dab into a Samsung monitor. This is of particular concern to me, what with my affinity for stick-shaking and all.

With so many Samsung monitors being released and the fact that I review many of them, it stands to reason that the very best of the Samsung best would need to be rounded up, stood up, and counted. All five of them.

Here you'll find the five best Samsung monitors we've reviewed so far. If your favorite Samsung monitor isn't on this list, then we … Read more

Samsung intros larger HDTV monitor

A few months ago I reviewed the 23-inch Samsung SyncMaster P2370. I called it "a small HDTV that can double as a monitor." The 27-inch version is just that, on a slightly larger scale.

The P2770HD includes all the connection options found on the smaller model, including one HDMI port, VGA, DVI, component, composite, and a coaxial connection for an antenna or cable. Unfortunately, there's no S-Video and it would have been nice to see at least another HDMI port here.

Check out the full review to see how the P2770HD compared to its 23-inch brother and … Read more

Two monitors attempt to pass in the HDTV world

What's the difference between an HDTV and a computer monitor? Well, let's see. HDTVs are for the most part made for watching movies and HD broadcasts, and playing video games. Monitors are made for everyday computer operations, productivity tasks, computer games, and to a lesser extent movies. Also, monitors are generally smaller than your average HDTV, and HDTVs usually have more in the way of connection options.

So where does this leave my latest two monitor reviews? The LG Flatron M237WD and the Samsung SyncMaster P2370HD are both monitors with many features only TVs usually have, including multiple … Read more

Samsung HDTV-monitor gets glass neck treatment

Glass necks are nothing new. Well, nothing new when you consider they're been featured in no less than two Samsung monitors: the XL2370 and P2370.

Glass necks look pretty cool, especially the way Samsung uses them, but they seem out of place with the P2370HD. While the other 2370 models are slim and sleek, the P2370HD is a fair bit bulkier. It would be like trying to fit Lou Ferrigno in Christian Bale's Batman costume from the "The Dark Knight." It just looks wrong.

Check out the shots to see what else does and doesn't … Read more

The full LG Flatron M237WD review is coming...really!

Last week, I explained my reasons for holding off on the review of the LG Flatron M237WD.

I know it's a disappointment to those you who have been inquiring about the review for a while now, but I still believe that waiting for a very similar comparison monitor--in this case, the Samsung P2370HD--will make for a much better and useful review.

So, to tide you over, I recorded a short video of me taking a quick look at the LG Flatron M237WD, very early in the morning. Notice my workout clothes. Also, please forgive the amateurish camera work. I'… Read more
