Best Monitors - 280 to 400 cd/m^2 Brightness, Sharpness User Controls, TCO-99 Regulatory Approval

'I'm a big fan of USB ports on LCD monitors, but, unfortunately, the VX2025wm lacks this convenience.'

'Few useful features.'

'Low picture quality.'

'The base follows the silver-and-black color scheme and is a rather large 11 inches wide by 8 inches deep.'

'features are sparse'

'colour handling goes out of the window, with nasty steps in colour ramps instead of the smooth graduations we saw previously.'

'Your wallet will catch fire.'

'Speakers turn off along with monitor. 16:10 still leaves some black bands when watching 16:9 movies.'

'the pair of feeble integrated speakers are only suitable for the most rudimentary audio playback.'

'Expensive.'

'Colors were a bit off but text was legible from extreme viewing angles (though we're glad to see Samsung claim a relatively humble 160- instead of some vendors' farfetched 176- or 178-degrees-off-center viewability).'

'Grayscale performance was merely average, and our white-level saturation test showed that the colors nearest to peak white were slightly washed out.'

'default color settings looked a little too blue and bright'

'No speakers, headphone jack, or extra USB ports.'

'Its performance on DVDs and games was average, as was its image quality when displaying basic Web and productivity-application material, but it really stumbled on CNET Labs' DisplayMate-based grayscale and color tests .'

'Two new, small projections extend backwards from the original feet, giving the entire stand an uneven X shape.'
