What You Should Know about the SyncMaster 305T Black 30

Widescreen Monitor Offers Extra Viewing Space for HD Video, Gaming, and Work Apps

Widescreen displays such as this one have become more popular as people discover the benefits of the extra horizontal space for application palettes, viewing documents side by side, and for a more cinematic experience when watching movies or playing video games. This is a 16:10 widescreen display capable of displaying high-definition video, but it is a bit taller than the 16:09 aspect ratio found on most HDTVs, so some letterboxing will be necessary to fill the space above and below the video window.

Strengths: WOW!!!!!! stellar resolution light for its size. good tilt and rotate. simple design makes this baby sleek looking. nice and cheap for the size i thought it would be too small but it is HUGE!!! base doesnt take up any room...you can put your keyboard right up to screen drip edge(you would have to sneeze to know what this is)... i like how they kept it economical by reducing all "$bells and whi$tles" that most of us dont need...but we all pay for. Colors are vivid and you have to really dial the brightness down from default..its really bright. Beats out all others, hands down...i have been researching this purchase for 6mo.

Weaknesses: I was dissapointed the contents of the box did NOT include a bib, or a shirt protector....i have serious drool down my shirt.

Overall Evaluation: I like the fact i can purchase a display with out "Paying" for HDCP (a hidden tax on consumers) instead this savings goes into a quality set. I would not hesitate recomending this...the 305T Plus monitor is out for the same price, so dont buy the old stock.

Strengths: Size and picture quality

Weaknesses: Inputs (only 1 dual link DVI input)

Overall Evaluation: This is the first large LCD monitor that I've purchased. The extra screen real estate is exactly what I needed. What has really impressed me, though, is the quality of the picture. The most significant drawback is the lack of video inputs (1 dual link DVI). It provides a sufficient number of USB ports though.
