Samsung has amazing attention to detail. Not only is this monitor built from a lush plastic that feels durable, it also has some of the best specifications around for any Samsung screen with an incredible 20000:1 Dynamic Contrast ratio and 5ms response time. What this means is the clarity of the picture is crisp and clear giving the user a wonder world of colours and a truly great place to work from or be entertained at.

The Samsung 2333SW has full HD 1080P support with a native resolution of 1920×1080 (16:9 aspect ratio) and a multitude of custom settings such as brightness, colour tone, colour effect, gama and the ever popular MagicBright setting to keep any technogeek entertained for hours but simple enough for the average user to understand.

Assembly is a fair easy matter but I must note that the joining of the monitor to the base can be a tricky affair. A lot of pressure needs to be applied to the top of the screen when forcing it into position and I felt like I had pushed the boundries of plasic on plastic expecting to hear the small extrusions breaking off but I was rewarded with a very satisfying “click” once the two halves are joined.
To say I’m impressed with this screen would be an understatement, I’m totally blown over by the design and performance that the 2333SW offers for the price.
