Lorna, Edinburgh

+ Build quality; appearance; soft touch menu, help files.

- Setting-up a bit fiddly - especially as paper copy of instructions had tiny, hard to read, text; overall picture quality is OK but quality/focus/sharpness of text is disappointing - spent ages adjusting various settings but still not great.

Hilary, Canterbury , “single white female”

+ Excellent picture quality

- There was no 'tilt' facility on the stand, so I was unable to find a comfortable viewing position without having to place a matchbox under the front of the stand.I think a variable viewing position should be a basic requirement, not an optional extra....subsequently I returned the monitor and have since bought another make and model which is a lot more comfortable to use. Having said that there was an option, with the Samsung monitor, to wall mount it, in which case the design of the stand wouldn't matter, and I'm sure it would be an excellent, reasonably priced choice.

Product Features

Screen Size in Inches	19
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Screen Resolution (pixels)	1440x900 (WXGA)
The number of pixels the screen has. The more you have, the more detail the screen can display, given a high quality source. A breakdown of resolutions can be found on Wikipedia here
Screen Resolution (pixels)	1440x900 (WSXGA)
The number of pixels the screen has. The more you have, the more detail the screen can display, given a high quality source. A breakdown of resolutions can be found on Wikipedia here
Response Time in ms	5
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	8000
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	300
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.
HDMI Interface	No
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
VGA Port	No
VGA stands for Video Graphics Array. The VGA socket is used for connecting a monitor or TV to your computer. If you want to use an external monitor, TV or projector on your laptop make sure it has a VGA or DVI socket. VGA is also sometimes referred to as D-sub.
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.
PC Interface	Yes
If you’d like to use your TV as a PC monitor you’ll need to make sure it has a port to allow you to connect it. This is usually a VGA port, but some TVs include a newer DVI port. Adaptors are availible to allow VGA to DVI and vice versa.
