Review: Samsung SyncMaster 2343BWX
I picked up Samsung SyncMaster 2343BWX 23.3-inch LCD display. It is the newly released 16:9 LCD display. It supports QWXGA resolutions (2048×1152).
First Impressions
Samsung SyncMaster 2343BWX looks a little bit out of place due to its extra wide profile. It doesn’t take long to get used to the 16:9 width to height ratio that is commonly found in HD-TV. The brightness and color of this LCD monitor are above average in my opinion.
Resolutions: 2048×1152 @60Hz
Maximum Refresh Rate: 75Hz
Diagonal Measurement: 23.3 inch
This monitor is not intended for gaming. First it is the aspect ratio, most games will be stretch to fit the screen. Second, this monitor seems to have a slow response time for intense 3D-games such as Call of Duty (first person shooter game).
This monitor seems to be designed primarily for one thing: widescreen video. This monitor provides extra horizontal space for programs like Final Cut Express/Pro. This monitor is a perfect companion for those who use HD camcorders since they share the same aspect ratio. No more dealing with the letter-boxing on the monitor when viewing the HD video full-screen.
The monitor does not come with Height Adjustable Stand (HAS, however it does come with one VGA (D-sub) cable and one DVI cable.
