Samsung SyncMaster 213 T (Silver) 21.3" LCD Monitor

Pros: Big, bright, colorful, clear, sharp, lightweight, flat!
Cons: There are cons?

As to the title:Well, not really, but you get the point. The Story (why this monitor?): Let’s talk about monitors okay? Let’s assume, just for a second, that we are obsessed with monitors, and one brand in particular. Now lets ...

Pros: space-saver sharp bright big
Cons: none

I bought the Samsung SyncMaster 213T on Ebay last week and finally received it this morning. I ...

Pros: Bright, stunning, lots of pixel real estate, pivots effortlessly (as long as stalk's extended)
Cons: Vague setup instructions for analog/digital hookup. Pivot Pro doesn't load resident.

Spent 2 years researching large LCD monitors, given the reservations about pink corners, off tones and casts, dead pixels, slow response, etc. I was also waiting for either the 213T to get cheap, or preferably, to be replaced by a next gen model -- ...

Pros: Bright, Wide Viewing Angle, 1600x1200, 25ms, Large Screen Area, Thin Bezel, Rotates, SAMSUNG !
Cons: Back of unit perhaps not as "cool" looking as Sony.

I had been working with a 70lbs 21" Panasonic CRT monitor on my computer for about 4 years. My main ...

Pros: Crystal clear images. Excellent contrast and brightness, Portrait Mode
Cons: Pivot software seems to cause an IE error every time I tilt it.

I researched this and other review sites for months before jumping in. Local stores Circuit City, Best Buy etc only had the silver model and I much prefer the black beauty. I had been using a 21" Sony Trinitron CRT (actually Dell's version) for many ...

Pros: Everything all the other reviewers said about it, particularly Puppies, Butterflies, etc.
Cons: Unlike some others, I think you can have too much of a good thing.

For the actual physical details about the monitor, several reviewers have already reflected my opinions. I just got my monitor a couple of days ago, but I'm pleased. This monitor is like UPS: It delivers. It's crisp and large. Great luminosity. It's ...

Pros: Large screen, nice image, very well built.
Cons: Pixel pitch is a tiny bit coarse. Image is a smidgen dull.

I live in a small town, so finding a 20.1" or 21.3" LCD monitor to inspect in one of the local computer stores is impossible. The next best thing is to read reviews on the internet. Surprise, surprise. Very few of those exist either, save one. The ...

Pros: BIG Bad MOFO!
Cons: I'm not worthy!

Just picked up mine tonight. Words that came to my mouth before I turned it on. "MASSIVE!" After I turned it on. "PERFECT!" 1600x1200 clean and crisp from corner to corner. 1 bad pixel. no biggie. I was too worried about getting a 20" ...

Pros: Great picture. Good quality. Great zero pixel policy.
Cons: None

I would have to say that I am a proud techno junkie. The latest and greatest only find a place in my home. This Samsung is the nicest LCD computer monitor I have and I own 6 LCD's in my home. I opted for the silver unit which matches my Lian Li ...

Pros: Big, bright, sharp
Cons: Poor image quality from analog input

The display is big - visibly larger than a 20" LCD - and very bright. Compared to other LCD monitors I have, the 213T is very bright, and the backlight is much more blue. This color contrast can be a jarring in a dual-monitor configuration. The ...

Pros: Screen Size and Quality Intuitive Controls Dual Inputs Auto Adjustments
Cons: Source control for dual input easily gets confused with 2 computers

The 213T is an excellent monitor to Samsungs credit. Over the last several years I have seen the quality and technology improve from this company. We purchased this monitor, nearly 3 years ago. It has been on daily for that time, mostly left on 24/7 ...

Pros: bright, crisp, fast response
Cons: reasonably expensive, poor analog

I have had a 20G 20" Viewsonic CRT monitor since 94 or 95, and although it's been good to me, it was starting to show some signs of aging, like not being able to handle strange resolutions ( like 848x480 ), and different refresh rate combinations. At tim ...

Pros: Top quality image, stability, flexibility, ease of use
Cons: No access to color controls in DVI mode.

Excellent overall text clarity, contrast, uniformity of illumination and color, wide viewing angle. Easy height adjustment and pivotabiliity, real pluses for portrait orientation for the bulk of computer use in word processing, internet browsing most of ...

Pros: Absolutely crystal clear. Save your eyes and get this monitor!!!
Cons: None that I've found so far.

I've been looking for a very long time for a really good monitor. But like most people, the purchase ...

Pros: Very nice monitor when not being replaced.
Cons: 1st monitor died, second slowly dying, will the third arrive?

The monitor is fine when it worked, and when the replacement worked, and (I hope) when the third works. Samsung Customer Service has an unbridgeable gap with the warehouse, and with any performance. This is one of those "can't believe this gets worse ...
