Best Samsung monitors

Samsung consistently makes some of the best monitors on the planet. Here are the best of the best.

The T27A950 is one of the prettiest monitors around. Don't let the others know I said that, though. Trying to play hard to get here.

If there's one monitor vendor I can always count on to get me excited about the monitor category--something admittedly difficult to get too worked up about--it's Samsung.

Of course, not every Samsung monitor turns out great, but, for my money, the company has, year after year, created great reasons to get excited about the category.

No other monitor vendor has consistently created such aesthetically stylish monitors that at the same time push the envelope in terms of performance and unique features.

Of the Samsung displays previously put through CNET's testing abattoir, these emerged as the best.

Samsung PX2370
Cheap, with unparalleled performance in its price range, this is still the best LED-based monitor for under $300. It's not getting any younger, so acquiring one may be a challenge, but if you can find it, get it and thank me later. Read the full review.


Samsung SyncMaster S27A850D
If thin panels and great performance are your thing, beeline it to Samsung's first Plane to Line-Switching (PLS) monitor that combines a bright, high-resolution screen with a low power draw. Save the world and impress your friends at the same time! Read the full review.


Samsung SyncMaster FX2490HD
Second only to the T27A950 (see below) in terms of quality movie-watching experiences, this monitor appeals to those for whom (screen) size matters little. Not impressed? Well it helps that it's also a capable entertainment monitor at a very reasonable price. Read the full review.


Samsung SyncMaster T27A950
Even if you don't currently enjoy watching movies, you will after you've watched them on this. Also, one of the prettiest monitors you've ever laid eyes on, you know, if monitors are your thing.


Samsung SyncMaster S23A350H
While it can't compare performance-wise with the PX2370, the still great performance and low price makes this one of the best cheapskate deals around.Read the full review.


Samsung Central Station SyncMaster C23A750X
While the ability to wirelessly connect your laptop to this monitor would be impressive enough, the USB 3.0 hub and its included "supercharging" feature make for some very tasty icing on the cake. Read the full review.
