Samsung Syncmaster T220

I have recently, last week, bought a new computer and although I already have a 19" widescreen TFT, I decided that I would also purchase a new monitor as I might still use my old computer through the 19". I wanted a 24" widescreen to go with my new purchase, however when I saw the deal on this monitor, I decided two inches were not that important!! Specification Below is the all important numbers: 22" Flat Panel Monitor 1680 x 1050 Maximum Monitor Resolution 20,000:1 Contrast 2msec Response Rate 300cd/m2 Brightness Plug & Play Why I Picked This Monitor The first and ...  Read the complete review

As a digital artist, I need a good quality screen. It would be no use to me if my monitor didn't show colours correctly or not be quite as sharp as I need it to be. And as an artist, I appriciate something pretty, maybe no more than the next man, but I'm a guy that needs something to fill the asthetic quota! I've found that the Samsung T220 fills this void quite nicely. I bought one of these back in Feb for £180 as a second monitor to go with my 22" Belinea, a decision I didn't make lightly! I spent a lot of my free time over the previous month thouroughly researching which "22 monitor was the best with a £200 budget to play with. I found ...  Read the complete review

Recently, I started University, and, unfortunately for my bank account, I needed to buy a computer, in order to do various assignments and research throughout the year. Whilst living at home, I was able to use the family computer and had never really needed to buy my own, so I had not much knowledge of the best computer systems and what to chose when the time came. I therefore headed for the shops with basically no idea of what to buy, just the will to buy a suitable PC, and a fairly respectable university loan. By no means am I suggesting to spend all of your student loan on a computer, it WILL lead to you going hungry throughout the forthcoming year! ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this monitor about a year ago in Comet for £240, and recently sold it on E-Bay for £120. However, this was nothing to do with the quality of the monitor, and more to do with the fact that I purchased an All in One computer. As far as monitors go, this was perfect! The pictures on the screen were so crisp and vivid: if you are looking for a screen to watch Blu Ray films on then this is possibly the best! The 20,000:1 contrast ratio is amazing for a PC monitor. Not only does it look great with your PC (some might say you don't need 22' for a PC monitor, and this maybe true, but with more multimedia such as BBC iPlayer a big screen does have its ...  Read the complete review

This monitor does everything I need it to do. I use the monitor as an external monitor for my laptop and it works very well. I had been worried that the constant connection and removal of my laptop may cause problems, this has not been the case. I had heard that the monitor was prone to shake on a desk, but this is most certainly not a problem, as the stand is in fact very stable. In terms of the quality, its better than I expected. blacks are good, the matt finish means that glare isnt an issue but doesnt reduce the sharpness of the images displayed. Connectivty could be better, as an HDMI port would have been ...  Read the complete review
