Advantages: low cost. low power and space consuming. good design

Disadvantages: no dvi connector. limited resolution. will be outdated in a couple of years

This would be the samsungs one of the best sellers. most economic lcd display for a starter. i preffere'd samsung sync master 540n over ordinary crt due to some unique reasons. the build quality is that good to attract everyone at their very first sight. this is so small and handy to fit in a small area. very light weight and can be cleaned easily. the power consumption is also very low (common for Lcd's). dual tone color adds more attraction. maximum resolution is 1024*768. supprts a maximum to 32 bit color. with a refresh rates of 60 hertz. but i have switched to even more than that. but i reverted to ordinary settings soon in dare of loosing my monitor. the technical requirements are satisfied for the time being. but could say that this has nothing to do in coming years may be after 1 or 2years. but for the present stage and ordinary users like office or schools this would be optimum choice. but for high end users this would be a big no. this is also good for gaming. most games perform upto the resolutions of this samsung monitor. buttons are placed well. arranged on bottom right at a visible region but quite unvisible too, i already mentioned the built quality.. six switches are there [menu] [down/ magic bright preset select button] [up/brightness manual adjust button] [select button] and a [auto] for automatically adjusting the field this could be adressed as the most handy and useful one.last comes the power button. the back side of the monitor is also clean withoutexposing dirty ends. the back cover hides connectors, and keeps the back tidy and keep the contacts dust free. the deficiencies could be stated as no dvi input. limited resolution (effects only high end users). else every thing is ok and is sometimes more than what you deserve for money you spend

Summary: could be right choice if your requirements are low.
