Samsung SyncMaster 193p+ Review

- Design-wise, Samsung's SyncMaster $549 193p+ follows in the footsteps of the successful SyncMaster 193p. It has the same tilted, round stand--newly colored a shimmering silver--with a dual hinge to support the pivoting screen. The 193p+ updates its predecessor's button-free bezel with a finish that matches the stand. Its software package, though slightly different, appears comparable to the old version. However, the most important aspect of this monitor has gone astray: Its image quality does not meet the standards set by the 193p.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Crystal picture. No dead pixels. Easy set up. Great positioning.

    Weaknesses: none

    Overall Evaluation: This is my first lcd flat panel and I was very leary of all of the different claims. I researched until I thought I had seen them all. When I came on this one with a price comparison on another brand, this one blew them all away for reviews so even though I had never heard of this brand, I decided to "take a chance" and go with it. The other one had a rebate making it nearly $40 cheaper than this one but for the quality I have received, it would have been worth it for a $100 difference. I highly recommend this monitor.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Color is on the spot, very bright, the perfect size, no blur, excellent modern design

    Weaknesses: none

    Overall Evaluation: I have compared a lot of stats and reviews for 19" monitors and all i saw was this monitor. You can really notice the super fast 4ms speed, since there's virtually no blur at all, and the color has a very good contrast and is super bright (of course you can lower it). Also the only thing that bothered me before I ordered this online was the design. It seemed too generic when i looked at the images online. But when i actually received it, i was surprised to see that it has one of the most modern design of it's class and at the same time it is not distracting at all. I am very satisfied with my purchase as it was very inexpensive yet has one of the best quality.
