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.
