(More customer reviews)The Samsung 213t is significantly cheaper than other 21.3" monitors, although it should be noted that you'll spend a lot less on a 20" monitor. So if you're looking at this one, you'd better value that extra inch. Should you? This depends on whether you like high pixel density or low pixel density. The 21.3" monitor yields about 94 dpi (dots per inch); a 20" monitor is more like 100 dpi. Some of the smaller 1600x1280 displays (especially for laptops) go above 120 and even 130 dpi, and some people prefer the high density, even though the text gets smaller. WinXP has a setting to increase font and dialog box sizes based upon the local dpi, but this is imperfect, since graphics, unlike fonts, are not resized. We can argue theory forever, but the essential question is, what do you find easiest on your eyes? For me, the lowest dpi is most comfortable, because it draws larger characters, but I know of people who prefer the high numbers. If you're like me and you want low dpi and a lot of screen real estate, this is your monitor, at least in 2004. (There's a wider model, the 243t (24"), but it costs about twice as much.) The 213t price has been dropping over the year (with periodic rebates!) and may drop farther, and this model may well be replaced before long.
With any modern LCD monitor, be sure to use the digital connection to a DVI video card. The digital connection assures that the monitor will display *exactly* what the PC intends. If you use the VGA analog connection, you'll be open for some smearing and ghosting.
The 213t has no frills (no speakers, no USB). Its response time (25 ms) isn't as fast as some other monitors, so it's not the optimal choice for gaming or video. But it's a sharp, clear, large display. For the market niche it fills, it's the best monitor at the best price.

For graphics professionals--or those who wish they were gaming professionals--the Samsung SyncMaster 213T makes time spent at the computer a true joy. Offering a vast 21-inch TFT/PVA flat screen that can handle either analog or digital signals, the display supplies a nearly perfect view of your most complex and detailed images.
With a native resolution of 1,600 x 1,200, 0.27 mm dot pitch, 500:1 contrast ratio, and 250 nits of brightness, the monitor gives you millions of vivid colors, crisply legible text, and the sharpness you need to work in full daylight without compromising your view. Wide viewing angles (170 degrees horizontal and vertical) make it possible for multiple viewers to check out the screen simultaneously, and the base detaches easily to make the screen ready for wall mounting.
The matte black frame slips into the background, leaving your images standing front and center-exactly where they should be. Samsung includes a three-year warranty that covers parts, labor and backlight.
