Dan's Data brengt ons een review van twee 19 inch Samsung monitoren, de 900P en de 900SL. Verschil tussen de twee is dat laatstgenoemde een 'short length' model is en dus een veel kleiner kontje heeft. Daarnaast heeft de SL versie volgens Dan ook een ietsie betere beeldkwaliteit. Verder trekken ze beide als maximale resolutie 1600x1200 @ 76Hz, alhoewel het beeld er vrij wazig begint te worden. Hieronder vast een gedeelte:
The Samsungs aren't perfect. They both exhibit some of the standard problems of cheaper screens.
For instance, their geometry and grey levels change noticeably when the screen contents change - if you've got a document in a window covering one half of the screen, and the other half's covered by a window that changes brightness dramatically, then you'll see everything shift position and appearance a little.
You can see this phenomenon for yourself, if you're using a similarly less than ideal monitor - let's face it, you probably are. Play with windows with strongly contrasting brightness, and watch the screen edges as you pop differently coloured things to the front. Old, cheap monitors often change the image colour dramatically, and let the image hop all over the place, when you do this. The Samsungs aren't nearly as bad. But the effect is still noticeable.
Between the two of them, surprisingly, it's the short-neck, lower-cost 900SL that gives the higher quality picture. Its newer picture tube makes the difference; Samsung managed to make it better, as well as shorter.
