A dual role TV/monitor combo can be used as a computer monitor, a TV and with games consoles. Anyone looking for a sleek and stylish LCD monitor is bound to be impressed by the latest offering from Samsung, the B2330 HD. Competitively priced without compromising on features or quality, a cheap Samsung B2330 HD is a great addition to your home or office.
The B2330 HD aims to combine the technological excellence of an LCD TV with the clarity and ease of a PC monitor. It’s perfect for anyone who needs to view HD multimedia content including movies, internet streamed content, video games, graphics applications and is even capable of monitoring standard CCTV cameras. The stunning visuals it offers are probably one of the Samsung’s strongest selling points.
The sleek 23 inch monitor is finished in gloss black and will look stunning on any desk. The picture quality is sharp and clear with a 70,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080. If required, Freeview HD can be connected to one of the HDMI ports.
The motion graphics are razor sharp thanks to a response time of just 5ms, ensuring even the fastest moving scenes are perfect with none of the blurring, motion judder or ghosting that can happen on slower monitors. The 16:9 widescreen presents high-quality images free of distortion making it a great choice if you want to view your movies and games in clear, precise detail.
Samsung’s innovative MagicAngle technology delivers sharp images and great colour, no matter what angle you are watching from, even if you’re lying down. The images remain the same whether you’re watching from below, above or the side, meaning you always get a high-quality viewing experience.
With many of us increasingly energy-aware, the cheap Samsung B2330 HD also offers a MagicEco feature. This allows users to work at different brightness levels, 100%, 75% or 50%, to save energy and help keep down the cost of electricity bills. Meanwhile MagicReturn is a feature that will automatically shift your dual-monitor content onto the monitor that has remained on, if you have turned a monitor off to save energy or a cable has disconnected and the signal has been lost.
The well-priced, even cheap Samsung B2330 HD can be used with Apple Macs and is compatible with Windows 7. It can also be wall-mounted.
Rivals to the Samsung B2330 HD include the Philips 200WS8FS and two Iiyama models, the ProLite E2003WS and the ProLite E1900WS.
