Monitor Reviews

This watch is easy and equipped with all the features a heart rate monitor shoud have. Highly recommended

I am pleased with this Polaroid under-counter LCD TV. The picture is exceptional, and the sound is pretty good. I think for the price this is a good little TV for the kitchen. I have only had this for one week, so hopefully it will last several years with no problems.

I have been shopping around for a 17 LCD/TV and could not make up my mind. I searched all over the Internet and thought I had a good idea of what I wanted. I saw the Polaroid 1700 a few months ago but was not impressed with the specs on it just by reading it. That all changed when I saw it in person! I compared it in person with about 30 other LCD TV's and all I could say was "SWEET"! The picture just blew me away! I was in love with it! I compared it to the others and there was no comparison! Since I loved it so much I looked at the 20 but it was not a widescreen and only had 4:3 aspect ratio. I never liked widescreen TV's (being all programs are broadcasted in 4:3) but this TV gives you the opportunity to change the aspect ratio, I never read that in any of the online reviews. It is a perfect bedroom TV to watch your widescreen DVD's and also switch it over to the TV tuner and watch the 4:3 ratio. It does not stretch it out and distort it like a lot of other TV's. For the features and the AWESOME picture, it is well worth the money. Compare it and you will not find a better one in this class. I would say the only downfall is the bulky size and weight. But it still looks SWEET! I recommend this product highly! Mind you I am a VERY picky electronics person. I hope this helps.

The Q-see was easy to install and easy to use works great. I highly recomend this product to anyone I use it to keep an eye on my son who has a brain injury and gets confused. I feel safer knowing I can keep an eye on him while he is asleep.

Well, I just got mine last weekend and could not be happier with it. I got an incredible deal @ Circuit City on a display model ($1089.00) DVD player didn't work when I tried, it said incompadible disk on 4 different discs, but they are coming to fix that. Shop around, I was going to get a non HDTV compatible TV, but found this on a whymm...

I have owned a Samtron 55V, which is identical to this model, for over two years. The selling point for me was that this monitor has an individual button for adjustment of contrast, brightness, vertical and horizontal size or position. Thus it can be adjusted very easily and quickly. Because of its user friendliness and reliability, I would not hesitate to buy this item again.

Okay, was it 'really' a business necessity? You bet! I waited until I could get a knowledgable clerk to answer my questions and concerns and then I pounced! This hybrid's predecessor made you choose: tv or pc; pc or tv, and you had to manually flip a switch....one or t'other. Not so with this baby....surf the net, analyze spreadsheets, get and answer mail, write a letter...none of this interferes with your fav show peeking at you from the lower left hand corner (or right hand corner, or whatever and wherever you choose to put it).

It simply doesn't get any better than this (that is...at least this month!).

Buyers and daydreamers note: we use a wireless connection for our DSL, but as far as we know, you still must have a hard connect to your cable to make this PC/TV function as you envision.

The choice we are forced to make is: move the office to the cable connection or the connection to the office.

Either way, the 150MP is inevitable.

Good price for what you get with this great Monitor and because it is an LCD Monitor it is small and compact.

This monitor is huge. And bright. The contrast is amazing, and the colors don't budge with your eye in one corner of the monitor looking across it, so I can almost believe the 170 degree viewing angle claim. I find it works better a little further back than most LCDs I've been used to due to the relatively large pixel pitch resulting from 1600x1200 at 21.3" diagonal. Larger monitors further back are easier on the eyes because they don't require close focusing which causes strain. This monitor is the smaller sibling of the 240T, which is an otherwise identical monitor, with identical height and pixel size, but with a 24" diagonal at 1920x1200 resolution. My wife and I are both computer professionals, and we have one of each at home. For working on the computer, the 240T is almost too large, and the extra width is all but unusable because windows at the sides of the screen seem far away.

This monitor, like the 240T, accepts S-Video and composite (not component) video input, and does a reasonable job of de-interlacing and scaling. The major difference is that the 240T is high enough resolution for full 1080 format HDTV (1920x1080 pixels, 16:9 letterbox aspect ratio), which can be input via either DVI or VGA. This monitor, the 210T, can only manage 1600x900 for letterbox; both run 1600x1200 for regular TV 4:3 aspect ratio.

DVDs played through the computer's DVD player and scaled by a decent graphics card look much better than those coming from S-video when there aren't too many motion artifacts (see my review of WinDVD 4); but many DVDs play so poorly on PC home theater DVD players that I fall back on the regular DVD player through S-video fairly regularly. For computer connections, DVI input is much much sharper than VGA input; if you get this monitor, it's worth upgrading to a graphics card with DVI output. Contrary to the manuals of the monitors and graphics cards, both the Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB and the Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB model had no problem driving the 240T and 210T at their full resolutions in DVI mode at the monitor's native 60Hz refresh rate.

I'd like to see Samsung's new DVD HD931 player that provides progressive format (de-interlaced) DVI output, which should be optimal for this monitor (and the 240T). The home theater review sites love the HD931 player and the whole concept of connecting via DVI. The only reason I don't have the DVD HD931 is that the monitor only has a single DVI input, and it's in an awkard, though space-saving, vertical arrangment. Turns out that DVI routers are expensive, so plugging in two DVI inputs to a single monitor doesn't seem practical yet.

The best part is that this is the second giant LCD I ordered by Samsung and both came with zero stuck or dead pixels, which is just amazing.

This is the silver one. There's also a black one.
