Samsung SyncMaster 151S

Samsung SyncMaster 151S The Samsung display is great all round unit, which is only analogue capable. The Samsung features a tall yet robust stand that sets the screen quite high. The tilt angles were quite good, as were the viewing angles. Samsung had also positioned the OSD buttons down the right hand side of the display. This was certainly different but also quite stylish.

The image quality on the Samsung was excellent. It was definitely one of the best analogue displays we tested. The display was very bright and vivid as well as razor sharp. There were no issues with interference patterns, but like all the other analogue displays, it was prone to vertical distortions. However, they were very minor. The Samsung also offers very low response times.
