User Reviews for Samsung SyncMaster 244T

  • Reviewed by: rgeiken

    Duration of ownership: 1 Year

    Strengths: Beautiful picture. Great Color rendition. Seems to be very reliable. Worked perfectly right out of the box. Best $800 I even spent.

    Weaknesses: None in my opinion.

    Overall Evaluation: I have gone from a 21 inch CRT monitor from Gateway to a Samsung 19 inch LED which I still have and have had for over 3 years. It was working good when I replaced it, but wanted a larger monitor. I still have it around for a backup if it is ever needed. Might make my next monitor a 30" Samsung. I have such good luck with Samsung, that I am tempted to stick with them. I also have a Samsung 71" DLP TV, and a Samsung cell phone. Product quality in my mind is more important than price, and Samsung seems to deliver it. You won't be sorry if you buy this model. If you have the bucks, you might want to consider their 30" model. I will next time!!!!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Extremely sharp, excellent edge to edge color with no banding, good response time, extremely sturdy.

    Weaknesses: Poor choice of USB port placement, not all features supported on Mac OSX.

    Overall Evaluation: This monitor replaces an excellent iiyama CRT. It is the best LCD monitor that I have seen in this size and price range. I am extremely happy with it and, at just over $700.00, I consider it a bargain. It arrived with all necessary cables and accessories and no dead pixels. I would not hesitate to recommend this unit to anyone.
