When viewed in this light it's a remarkably better offering. Of course, the street price of the Samsung is considerably lower than retail - the best price we've seen was around AU$450. Similarly, the Dell 2407WFP-HC may be larger at 24-inches but is regularly available for AU$999 online, and also features plenty of inputs and a card reader.
Asus' PG221 is the same price and boasts a gaggle of analog inputs. Although, as you'll see, we did find the screen difficult to calibrate.įor a monitor hovering towards a grand, the Samsung boasts remarkably few features. As we found, images in most modes were bright, and featured sharp text and good contrast. In order to tailor the screen to your needs, the Samsung comes with seven different picture modes, including a custom mode. Unlike rivals, such as the ASUS PG221, the Samsung forgoes a gloss coating, which means it may not be as effective for movie watching or slide shows. The panel also claims a 160 degree viewing angle and to be HDTV ready with HDCP support, but with its limited 1680 x 1050 resolution the highest TV resolution it will muster is 720p/1080i. Samsung claims that this 22-inch LCD panel delivers 300cd/m2 brightness and a 3000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, which means it should be quite effective at displaying blacks.
