Samsung SyncMaster 193P
SyncMaster 193P Silver 19 Review, by Laura Blackwell November 22, 2004
Newer monitors have caught up with the Samsung SyncMaster 193P since we reviewed it in the August 2004 issue of PC World--and many have passed it. This time it earned a Very Good rating for text quality, whereas last time we rated its text Outstanding. The 193P's crisp representation of letters on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, though remarkable when first reviewed, now looks average. Our jurors found the Microsoft Word test screen dim. A few jurors noted a cold, blue-green cast on most screens, but our photo of people had good detail and pleasing color balance. Overall, we rated the 193P Good for graphics quality. The 193P's overall image quality ranks in the bottom third of the current crop of recently tested monitors.
The 193P lets you make all four physical adjustments. Its tilt function is unusually flexible: You can tilt the screen so far back that it's parallel with the work surface, making it easier to share images with someone across a table. The monitor's height, pivot, and tilt functions require only a light touch--in fact, some users may find these features overly sensitive--but they stay put once you set them. Pivot software is included. The CD-based documentation includes screen shots, making it an especially useful manual.
Upshot: The Samsung SyncMaster 193P's full range of adjustability features make the monitor a comfortable fit for general use, though its image quality isn't tops.

Strengths: Very cool LCD monitor, Slim, Pictures are so clear and bright
Weaknesses: None.
Overall: This is a very cool monitor and worth for the money. Samsung makes very good LCD monitor on this one. I got a very deal from this monitor too ($519.00 shipped plus $200 MIR). You cannot find any monitor that can beat this price and quality. 19" is a good size for the LCD monitor too. The weight is light and the shape is slip plus in silver color. There is only one button on this monitor. So, you don't have to do anything. It has auto-adjustment. The button is nice too. You don't have to push it but just touch it. I would highly recommend this monitor.

Strengths: Light weight. Good picture and color quality. Auto configure. Wall mountable. Rotates easily. Long warranty.
Weaknesses: Little bit pricey
Overall: I replaced a 6 years old SONY 17" CRT. This flat panel saved me lots space and it's easy for me to move a flat panel instead a 20 lbs CRT.

Strengths: No dead pixels! :)Very sleek design? best looking LCD monitor PERIOD.
Weaknesses: White has a barely discernible red tint? and with DVI the colors are not adjustable. But better a slight red tint than green or blue, since it?ll give photos a little warmth.
Overall: It hss pretty much all been said with all the other reviews. This is an awesome monitor. I have bought samsung crt's for years for my production/design dept. This one was for my house. As I type there is a manufacturers rebate that makes this monitor the best value any where. only fourhundred for this monitor! The style, appearance and form factor of this monitor is way ahead of ANY other monitor I have seen. I used the supplied wall-mounting hardware and it looks like it is just levitating over my desk. With that hardware it can either be clipped tight to the wall or hang toward you about 9" away from the wall. I use it about 9" away. People see this monitor and they say "wow!" This could be the best looking monitor on the market right now. No dead pixels and all the rest. Samsung has always had the best monitor for the buck with real professional image quality. Now they matched it with an un-real package. You must buy this

Strengths: sleek design, pva panel = nice contrast and colour, no bright dot guarantee
Weaknesses: better responsie time now availible for PVA panels
Overall: the Eizo L778-K also has pva panel but lowered responsetime via overdrive technology to 12 ms vs 193p's 20 ms. Found out about this after i got the samsung :(Its actually samsung that made the panel for the eizo so u still get samsung quality!
