Samsung 213T 21" LCD Review - PAGE 1

Introduction:

The 213T is Samsung's biggest and greatest LCD offering to date. It is a rather impressive piece of hardware if you look at its spec sheet. However, it is ever more impressive if you witness it first-hand. It is hard to fathom how imposing the 213T is unless you see it with your own eyes. Twenty-one and three-tenths inches at 1600 x 1200 resolution is an amazing feat to observe! The desktop space is more than enough for the whole spectrum of users from graphic artists to gamers to movie watchers. The 213T comes in either silver or black to suit your taste. We review the silver model, which you can see looks VERY nice.

The 213T LCD replaces the 210T model as Samsung's top of the line 21" LCD screen. It features a completely redesigned bezel, and a faster & brighter screen. You'll also note that the screen to border ratio is quite nice: the borders are thin enough not to be too intrusive.

The 213T in the above picture is placed between a 17" CRT and 19" CRT, giving a better perspective how big it really is. In real life when you walk into a room with the 213T on a desk your first reaction is WOW!
