The Samsung 245T is the companies latest entry into a already competitive market. Does this display have what it takes to stand out from the crowd? Read on to find out.

616 is the mark of the devil not 666

You got me all excited there - i'm dying to see a review of the T260HD, and when i saw a new samsung review i thought it was that initially since that seems to be their biggest release as late. But alas it was not...

Still, nice review, but def not the monitor for me!

Why would you make a monitor using cheap glue?

ChaosDefinesOrder · 12th Jul 2008, 11:25

what the hell? $649 but £666? How the hell did the exchange rate get to that!

damn rip-off britain...

Tell me about it, it's absolutely disgusting.

I bought the 244t when it just came out and was one of only two 24inchers on the market. Absolutely love it.

I have the Samsung 275T here, and I love it to bits. I don't notice the input lag when gaming either, specifically on Trackmania. I haven't really gotten back into the swing of things on Team Fortress 2, but the Syncmaster works fine on Painkiller!

i guess you wouldn't after using a tft for long (assuming you have) just like how i don't. But when i first went from my CRT to this (just 2 crappy budget 19" TN TFTs) it's eww xD

I have exactly the same problem, several times a year. At uni (where I have more space) I use a 22" CRT, at home I use a crappy 20" widescreen HDTV. Every time I swap to the TFT it screws up my playing...

Shame about this monitor not quite being good enough. It looked perfect - I love the design, the inputs, the colours are amazing (a must for any CRT replacement imo). Shame it's £200 too expensive with mad input lag...

That's 2 of the best ones out down to input lag - the Dell 2408WFP and the SM-245T.

Are there any good 20+ inch IPS TFTs around? Or do i rather wait for some oled screens. Or just buy a 32" Full HD tv lcd. the lather is at least bigger the the Samsung for the same price!

Krikkit · 14th Jul 2008, 15:44

There's this, greatly favoured by the excellent tftcentral. It's top of my list for 24"ers atm.
