Richard, London

Score 8.0/10

+ Screen size, quality of picture.

- The controls are really difficult to see in the dark as they are not real buttons they are smooth like a touchpad. Also at resolutions less than full HD the monitor comes up with a warning sign which is quite annoying.

Expert reviews for Samsung SM2693HM

TechRadar expert review

As monitor makers go, Samsung is the blue-blooded aristo of the bunch. It's no surprise, therefore, to find that the 26-inch SM-2693HM has comfortably the best chassis and stand among its peers.It's a quality affair that offers adjustability in every plane you can think of. It also has a full complement of HDMI, DVI and VGA ports.As for the SM-2693HM's panel, it may be based on TN technology, but it's state of the art. That means clean, crisp whites, excellent viewing angles and quite decent colour saturation and vibrancy. Of course, Samsung cannot work magic. So black levels remain a …

Product Features

Screen Size in Inches	26
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Type of Monitor	LCD
Response Time in ms	5

Contrast Ratio (X:1)	3000
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
Brightness in Candela per square metre	400
Brighter TVs, such as LCDs, tend to provide a better experience in lighter rooms, whereas TVs with a lower brightness, such as many plasma TVs, are often better suited to darker rooms.
DVI Port	Yes
DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface. Like VGA, DVI is used to connect laptops, desktops and other devices to HD TVs or monitors. You can buy a small adaptor to convert your digital DVI socket to an analogue VGA socket for use with older monitors if needed.
Type of Screen	LCD
Most small flatscreen TVs have LCD screens. Some larger TVs have plasma screens. Some very new TVs have LED screens. Traditional TVs are called Standard or CRT.
Screen Format	16:10
This is a ratio of the horizontal to the vertical size of the screen. 16:9 is standard widescreen format for TVs, replacing the older 4:3 format.
Integrated Camera	No
