Samsung Syncmaster 2233RZ

The launch of the 3D film Avatar and announcement of the ‘Blu-ray 3D’ video standard are both hallmarks that 3D is making its return to the entertainment industry. Further to this, GPU manufacturer Nvidia reignited this passion for 3D in PC users by launching their 3D vision shutter glasses. With a compatible GPU and PC…

BenQ xl2420t

In late 2010 BenQ brought a very promising monitor to the market in the form of the XL2410T. Deciding to take a different slant from the usual ‘3D capabilities’ that most 120Hz displays are built around, BenQ marketed this one as a ‘gaming monitor’ and had the endorsement of some rather good Counter-Strike players to…

Samsung S27A950D

The SA950 and TA950 line of PC monitors and hybrids turned an awful lot of heads after their unveiling at CES back in January 2011. The impossibly thin screens, almost invisible bezels and copious lashings of brushed metal were combined with a unique asymmetric stand design. The design looked a bit like some kind of…

Samsung S27A850D

IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology has remained relatively unchallenged at the ‘high end’ of the monitor market and has also penetrated into slightly lower-end consumer models in the form of ‘E-IPS’. The technology is noted for its ability to accurately and consistently display a good range of colours and as such finds favour for those interested…

Samsung S27A750D

Ever since Samsung unveiled their new line of 3D PC monitors and hybrids at CES earlier this year there has been an air of hype and intrigue surrounding these sleek new numbers. Never one to be outdone when it comes to stylish but functional products, Samsung has really gone above and beyond with the ‘head…

Dell U2312HM

Dell started something of a revolution with the launch of their U2211H and U2311H computer monitors. By featuring a then novel type of LG In-Plane Switching panel (dubbed ‘E-IPS’ or ‘Enhanced’ IPS) with ‘simple’ colour reproduction characteristics (read: 6-bits per subpixel plus dithering) and greater light transmission efficiency the backlight and panel costs could be…

Samsung S27A350H

Samsung is the world’s leading monitor manufacturer and as such they keep to a fairly regular and aggressive product refresh cycle. They have certainly caught the consumers’ imaginations with the styling of their products and in most cases combine this with good all-round performance. Dubbed ‘Touch of Colour’ (‘Touch of Color’ in the US) Samsung…

Dell U2412M

LG and partners have made a huge push in recent years to make IPS (In-Plane Switching) monitors more affordable. With their lower cost ‘E-IPS’ (‘Enhanced IPS’) panels they are able to bring the much-loved IPS quality to a much broader market and this is something that many consumers found enticing. There is also a big…

Samsung T27A950

Samsung caused quite a stir if not a bit of a storm when they unveiled their new 3D monitors and hybrids at CES 2011. Most entertainment monitors released recently generally look quite similar with some minor aesthetic tweaks here and there. More often than not they consist of glossy black plastics for the bezel, a…
