At $190, it's difficult to care too much about the Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW's shortcomings. Sure, it has low screen brightness, no HDMI connection, a clumsy onscreen display, and no ergonomic features aside from tilt. However, most people will be willing to looking past these shortcomings, thanks to the display's sub-$200 price--especially if they're only looking for a general-purpose monitor. Throw in its good movie and games performance and a useful and robust OSD, and you have a worthwhile investment. Compared with other displays, such as Samsung's own XL2370 and Dell's S2409W and SP2309W, the 2233SW's overall performance and lack of features can't compete against more feature-rich displays. It relies on its low price as its trump card and is currently at least $50 cheaper than the others are.

Design and features The 21.5-inch Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW has a design that closely resembles the. The Samsung display is devoid of useful ergonomic options such as screen rotation and height adjustment, offering only a 25-degree backward tilt. When placed on a desktop, the Samsung leaves 3.75 inches between the bottom of its screen and the desk.

On the sides and top, the Samsung's glossy bezel measures 0.75 inch and 0.8 inch, respectively. The Samsung's oval-shaped footstand measures a bit larger than 10 inches wide and 8.5 inches deep. When knocked from the sides, the Samsung wobbled minimally, but it did slide a few inches across the desk with each knock. On the bottom-middle of the Samsung's bezel is a light gray, painted on Samsung logo. The Samsung's panel measures about 1 inch deep and extends another 1.5 inches behind it to include the ventilation system, backlight, and connection options.

With these measurements tallied, the display's panel is about 2.5 inches deep. The complete width of the panel is 20.3 inches--which is average for a 22-inch model.

I recently bought a new monitor, the Samsung B2230HD but I am having image quality issue on the monitor when connected to the macbook.

Running across the bottom of the Samsung's bezel is a clear fiberglass 'lip' about half an inch tall. When the monitor is on, a blue LED radiates from the bottom of the bezel and reflects off the lip, creating an interesting lighting effect. On this model, Samsung ditches the usual glossy screen seen on monitors these days, instead opting for a matte finish. Its video connection options are limited to VGA and DVI, and Samsung includes connection cables for each.

However, an HDMI connection is not included--which is surprising, considering most monitors with a 16:9 aspect ratio include this connection. All connector ports are on the back and to the right of the monitor. Also, Samsung recessed the ports in a way that makes them a bit difficult to access. The Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ's onscreen display buttons are located on the lower right side on the monitor, on the outside of the panel. It includes five buttons stacked on top of each other. The buttons include Menu, Up, Down, Enter, and Back, with the power button below.

The Up and Down buttons also double as shortcuts to brightness and contrast controls, respectively. Each button is nearly a half inch in diameter with a convex shape. Pressing the buttons delivers a satisfying clicking sound and each depresses enough to make it obvious when it's been pushed.

The buttons have enough space between them so that when calibrating the display in a low lighting, you can easily tell the buttons apart. Pressing the Menu button brings up the OSD menu. Here you have options for brightness and contrast in addition to OSD menu options for setting the duration the menu stays on screen when idle (up to 200 seconds). Its presets include Text, Internet, Game, Sports, Movies, and Dynamic contrast. Choosing each preset appropriately adjusts the brightness of the display; however, the movie presets seems to change the color temperature to have more of a red push than the other presets do that look bluer.

However, this was not detrimental to the image. The Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW's 16:9 aspect ratio supports a 'Full HD' 1,920x1,080-pixel native resolution. This continues the trend of more and more monitor vendors toward 16:9 from 16:10 because high-definition content--in particular 1080p movies--can fit onto a 1,920x1,080-pixel screen in full-screen mode without stretching the image. Manufacturer's specifications: Resolution: 1,920x1,080 pixels Pixel-response rate: 5ms Contrast ratio: 1,000:1 Brightness: 300cd/m2 Connectivity: VGA, DVI HDCP compliant? Yes Included video cables? VGA, DVI Backlight: CCFL Panel Type: TN Performance We tested the Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW using its DVI connection. The display posted a composite score of 96 on CNET Labs' -based performance tests, the same score as the Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 and higher than the Dell SP2309W's 90 score.
