Samsung SyncMaster 2493HM 24-Inch Wide-Screen LCD Monitor Review

by Greg Adler

- The Samsung SyncMaster 2493HM looks great--and I'm not talking exclusively about the antiglare treatment or the crisp 1920-by-1200-pixel native resolution, which provides very good visual quality. The SyncMaster also sports sleek lines and a thin, glossy black bezel that stays relatively smudge free.

User Reviews for Samsung SyncMaster 2493HM

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: 10000:1 contrast, HDMI, DVI, and VGA inputs, 5ms response time, 1920x1200 resolution, includes both VGA, DVI, and audio cables.

Weaknesses: Built-in speakers produce puny sound and touch-sensitive buttons on front are impossible to see.

Overall Evaluation: You're not going to find a better 24" monitor at anywhere near this price. So long as you plan to use it with external speakers and can memorize that the power "button" is on the far right bottom then this is an amazing monitor. The touch-sensitive "buttons" are not buttons at all, just areas on the bottom right of the frame that you touch to power the monitor on/off and/or switch inputs, etc. That's futuristic and high tech, I guess, but a bit of a pain to use in practice.It's very nice that it comes with VGA, DVI, and even Audio cables (but buy your own HDMI cable!).People who see this monitor invariably comment and say something like, "Ooh! Nice monitor." Ultimately you get a monitor for the picture, and it's gorgeous.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Excellent quality. Touch panel buttons. Rotation support. Samsung. Has HDMI, VGA, and DVI inputs. Rotates. 1000:1 contrast ratio. 1920 x 1200 resolution.

Weaknesses: No usb. Touch sensitive buttons are a bit hard to see.

Overall Evaluation: Good built monitor. Design is very good but sometimes buttons are hard to see. This is good monitor for gaming and daily use. This is perfect size monitor- not too big, not too small. Easy to move the monitor up and down.
