    CNET Review

    September 8, 2008

    The Good: Very good performance, especially for movies; 360-degree rotation; unique buttonless OSD design; good price for such a large screen.

    The Bad: Flimsy, hollow plastic in back; cannot see or feel the OSD in dark; bad viewing angle from the bottom; overcalibrated "Cool" temperature setting.

    The Bottom Line: The Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM proved itself to be an excellent overall performer, particularly during movie playback, and can be had for a fair price. Only a flimsy stand, an overcalibrated color-temperature setting, and a poor lower viewing angle prevent a higher recommendation for this 25.5-inch LCD.

    Review Summary: You can reduce this by lowering the brightness in the OSD, and the 2493HM makes use of a set of touch-sensitive buttons on the front. The colour tone is slightly warmer than the Dell, with a tiny tinge of magenta in our tinting test, making for ...

    Review Summary: Still the Samsung SyncMaster 2493HM is a great monitor at an average price - and that's a winning combination.
