Samsung SyncMaster 213 T (Silver) 21.3" LCD Monitor

Pros: Perfect picture in particular with the digital connection.
Cons: No USB ports

The problem with reviewing a monitor like this is that to the extent it doesn't seem perfect may be an artifact of my new Matrox P650 video card but I really have no way of finding out (well, not without a lot of work). The fact is that given a ...

Pros: Nice screen. Flexible.
Cons: They require a whopping $3000 hold to exchange under warranty program.

A ‘Head-Up’’ If Considering SAMSUNG Computer Products. I own a Samsung 21"LCD, model 213T computer monitor. It is 7 months old, and has a 3 year factory warranty. My unit has a problem and the factory says they will do an “exchange” for a refurbished ...

Pros: Easy on the eyes, crisp and clear
Cons: only one, now we have to buy one for my wife

Great monitor for my aging eyes!

This monitor is all we expected and more after reading the other reviews. Very crisp and clear and easy for my failing eyes to use. Only problem is now we have to get one for my wife too, which is really not a problem. Just be sure you purchase one from a good supplier, as the first one we purchased, (from Infinity Micro), had some dead pixels and was not new as they said. We then had the hassle and expense of returning it and buying another from an honest dealer (J&R)

Pros: Magnificent picture, just all good.
Cons: Makes playing games even more addictive.

This is the best LCD monitor I have seen yet. I have had mine for over a year and NO pixel drop and no problems. This is the best you will find.

Pros: Text crispness, Stunning picture and design. Best there is. Height and Pivot Adjustments.
Cons: Size for sitting close

This is the first LCD monitor I have purchased. I watch monitor from approximately 6 feet from my LazyBoy with wireless mouse and keyboard. So I needed big screen at that distance. For the most part I use 800x600 resolution. I don't have DVI connected yet. Need to get a new card. Even at this resolution and using analog, the picture is stunning and text is crisp. There is an auto button on front panel which makes it very easy to adjust. Height adjustment is great. It also pivots. This is probably the best looking LCD available even when it is turned off. Home Theater Mag rated it very highly. All reviews I have seen have praised this monitor's stellar performance.

The only drawback is that now I want one for work, but I think this monitor is just too big to sit up close to. I would be interested in hearing from others on this issue. I don't want to use in native resolution of 1600x1200 because text is tiny and Internet Explorer and other programs only appear on half the screen.

Pros: TCO03 certified. Big. Good price at $660 - $100rebate.
Cons: It tires down my eyes more easily than my old 17in CRT does.

Just bought one from NewEgg (4/15/2005). It's big and good looking.

Some ghosting with Divx movies and DVDs, but I'm getting used to it on all LCDs. And I'm too busy to play games so I don't worry its slow response time that much.

Two other things seem to be more of a bother. First, those sharp Divx movies when viewed on my old 17" monitor don't look that good any more when viewed full-screen on this 21inch monitor. Obviously this isn't a problem with the monitor. Second, I spend 4-6 hours in front of monitor. I often heard LCD's are easier on eyes. But it doesn't seem true in my case. I set 213T to 50% bright. I feel my eyes get tired more easily with this 213T than my old 17in CRT. I don't know why. Do your eyes experience the same if you own 213T? Let me know if you can.

Everything else is good. It's TCO 03 certified, instead of the 99 or 95 that you see on many online spec sheet.

Pros: Huge and Crisp
Cons: The "silver" bezel color is ugly and rarely matches anything else.

I purchased this monitor for $950 on ebay (delivered, no tax) about a year ago. It is the best monitor I've ever used and I'm thinking about purchasing another

Pros: Pivoting screen, small footprint, analog/digital and cables provided for both. 21.1 screen (nice).
Cons: None so far. Go shopping and buy one, you will be pleased.

Prices are starting to come down on this pricey monitor and now is the time to shop for one. I just purchased the 213T and am very pleased. I noted on a review comments about the brightness, but I have no complaints, I did tweak it up from the preset 50 up to 80. It has both digital and analog connections and Samsung generously provides the cables for both. 1600X1200 resolution is good. The ability to pivot the monitor itself is a GREAT feature and Samsung provides the software to pivot your screen image 90, 180 and 270 degrees. At the price I got it at, I'm pleased. I hope Samsungs customer support is as good as it's product. That's another issue with me that can make or break a product.

Pros: Crisp graphics, easy-to-use controls, thin bezel, easy height adjustment.
Cons: Input source button location is confusing; can't disable on-screen input selection display

I've been using Samsung monitors for five years now. I've loved them all, and this one is the best so far.
