For the price range, the Samsung SyncMaster 204BW widescreen LCD Monitor just might be the best all around monitor.

Fast Response

The 6ms response rate allows this 20” viewable LCD display to work quickly and bring sharp pictures that allows you to view games or movies with fantastic quality imaging. The response time is the amount of time a pixel in an LCD monitor takes to go from active (black) to inactive (white) and back to active (black) again. It is measured in milliseconds (ms). Lower numbers mean faster transitions and therefore fewer visible image artifacts. 

Great Resolution

1680 x 1050 display resolution allows for great pixel advantage. The display resolution of a digital display typically refers to the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It can be an ambiguous term especially as the displayed resolution is controlled by all different factors in cathode ray tube (CRT) and flat panel or projection displays using fixed picture-element (pixel) arrays.

Designed For Flexibility

Enjoy the versatile base that can let you easily adjust the height and angle of the monitor as well as rotate it. With the Samsung SyncMaster 204BW dual video input you can easily enjoy the DVI or VGA connections. The DVI, which stands for Digital Visual Interface. It’s main purpose is to maximize the visual quality of digital display devices. The DVI interface uses a digital protocol in which the desired illumination of pixels is transmitted as binary data. When the display is driven at its native resolution, it will read each number and apply that brightness to the appropriate pixel. In this way, each pixel in the output buffer of the source device corresponds directly to one pixel in the display device, whereas with an analog signal the appearance of each pixel may be affected by its adjacent pixels as well as by electrical noise and other forms of analog distortion.

A Winning Monitor

But the winning features on this monitor are Samsung’s top of the line MagicTune™ Technology that uses Display Data Channel Command Interface protocol to control all monitor settings by connecting the signal cable and through the simple click and move of your mouse, you can set the optimum display settings faster and efficiently then ever before. With the Samsung SyncMaster 204BW you can be sure to enjoy perfect combo of sharp and crisp pixel viewing for all your monitor screening needs.
