Samsung Syncmaster 215TW

[Celeste Shuen]

Thinking of getting Samsung Syncmaster 215TW for photo-editing as well as for DVD watching using its S-video or Component inputs. Does anyone know whether it is available in SG and how much does it cost?

The specifications of 215TW is as follow:

• 21" (wide) viewable area;
• 8ms response time (grey-to-grey);
• 300cd/m² brightness;
• 16.7 millions colour
• 1000:1 contrast ratio;
• DVI (with HDCP), VGA, Component, S-Video, Composite inputs;
• Adjustable height, tilt, swivel and pivot;

Here's a link that offers some T series models in Singapore.
Maybe give them a call.

Thanks.

Called Ban Leong. The price is $1288, might get it at the end of the year.

For this price you might as well get a NEC 21" Multisync. Much better than Samsung in my opinion.

By the way, I am using a 19" Samsung T-series as my secondary monitor (for email and web mainly) and I can tell you the NEC render colors and skin tones more accurately (after calibration of course).

I feel the same way too. I think it is too much money to pay for a 21 inch wide monitor, even thought the Samsung 215TW received favourable reviews. When I first learned about the price which Ban Leong quoted you, I was actually quite 'shocked' ....

Maybe, you should also consider the Apple Cinema Display, since many people have testified that it actually worked quite well on PCs as well.

The Dell 24" only costs 2/3 the price and comes with 30 day money back guarantee.
