Samsung SyncMaster 910MP Review

The OSD has a lot of TV-specific features with which the average computer user may not be overly familiar. For the most part you really do not have to get too worried about these because if there is a clear TV signal and the picture is coming out properly that means everything is in working order and there is nothing to worry about. If you are interested in tweaking the set up you can refer to Samsung's manual, but it does presuppose some knowledge about the subject matter so you may have to find a few additional resources.

When used as a television the 910MP did its job and was easy to set up, but the clarity and sharpness did leave something to be desired. When playing a standard television show there was noticeable video noise and decreased clarity when compared to a television set. The response time ensures there is no ghosting, even during DVD playback and while this helps if you are expecting the crystal-clear, razor-sharp image of a 42" plasma screen you are going to be disappointed. This situation is exacerbated due to the fact that you sit much closer to a computer monitor than you do to the average television. Even so, the picture is not horrible, but you will simply not be blown away by the image quality.

I was very happy with the sound that the 910MP provided. Though the speakers are obviously small they are powerful enough to be heard in a large room and do not have the tinny sound of many other monitor speakers.

When used as a computer monitor the 910MP did quite exceptionally, despite its lack of a DVI connection. The text is very clear and the picture and color reproduction are right on point. The display did very well during workstation use, but don't be afraid to do some gaming- the 8ms response time can hold its own against many of today's more expensive LCDs.

The display's OSD has everything you would expect, including the color adjustments which many displays only allow when using their analog connections. The OSD is made easier to navigate because it can be done using the remote control or the buttons on the front of the display. This is important because chances are users will have to toggle the brightness very often- to increase brightness for TV/DVD viewing and then to lower it if they intend to do any reading or typing. This is further aided by the inclusion of Samsung's MagicBrite brightness presets.
