    "Agreed: CNET you've gone too far this time.`"

    by tfcolligan on August 19, 2008

    Pros: Absolutely superb graphics, excellent for video / photo work, fine reading, name it.

    Cons: Stand issues. Needs more flexibility / maneuverability.

    Summary: The answer to expensive Hi-Def is right here, folks. If you like to watch video on your monitor, prepare to be dazzled. Add the HDMI cable and it's "hog heaven". I have an LG in one room, and now this one for my secondary workstation. Both manufacturers are amazing performers. I can't tell which I like better. Price dictated my selection this time around, though. This little Samsung is outstanding. I do a lot of writing and as a hobby work with photos and video. I could not be happier in a 22". Add Samsung's Warranty and you've got yourself perhaps the very best value and quality out there. No exaggeration. Go to the store and see for yourself.

    I grow a little bit annoyed at some of the CNET technical reviews. I am detecting a hint of bias. But there is value to be had in that bias, folks. CNET trashes something and the prices drop. Winner: consumers! Yippeee! Seriously, though, CNET you were a bit harsh on this one. Love you guys though.

    I've just bought the monitor Syncmaster T220 to have a smoother reading as I read too much on the screen. The thing is that I just can't find the best configuration for that. Could you kindly give me an idea of brightness, colors and all the best settings for a smooth reading and also for seeing pictures, navigate on the web... I would really appreciate that. And I also can't select digital in the dig/analog option. Is there a possible problem with the cable? I mean, the image os not so sharp, not good. I really feel it could be much better.Thank you.

    This model reviewed is not the HD model. It does have a plug for an HDMI cable.
