For those people who own a 17?or 19?CRT display the upgrade to the corresponding LCD monitor won't make much difference: today's 17?and 19?TFT panels provide decent color reproduction, response time and viewing angles, hence, the majority of users will find them as good as high-end CRT displays. Still, large panels available at more or less affordable price points sometime do not offer specs comparable to smaller panels, but perhaps it still makes sense to get those monitors? XYZ Computing has reviewed Samsung's 213T LCD display, a 21.3?widescreen display that boasts typical brightness of 250 cd/m2, contrast ratio of 500:1, response time of 25ms and native resolution of 1600x1200 pixels.

?Overall, Samsung's 213T is a very well-designed monitor. It produces crisp, clean images and has a size and brightness that make it a pleasure to use. For office and everyday work this monitor is almost impossible to beat. The monitor looks good with the analog input but does have some small flaws. DVI operation was definitely an improvement over analog and gave the 213T a top-notch image with sharp text and a 1600x1200 resolution which users will find it hard to live without once they have gotten used to it,?concludes XYZ Computing.
