Samsung 910MP LCD TV Monitor Review

Filed in archive Television on July 13, 2005

As consumers become more tech savvy, many are starting to use their computer as a complete entertainment system. One thing that really adds to the experience is a combination LCD monitor and LCD television. XYZComputing has an extensive review of the Samsung 910MP LCD TV Monitor that starts out:

Here are a few other points of interest. First, the standard aspect ratio is 4:3, but using the on-screen display (OSD) the monitor can be toggled so that it will run at 16:9. The 160/160 viewing angles are good, but considering the increased chance of more than one person watching TV (relative to using a computer monitor) it would be nice if these could be improved a bit. It is sufficient though, considering the panel is only 19" viewable, so not that many people will be watching it. The display does not have a DVI input, so when you do use it you will be limited to your analog connection. Also note the lack of HDTV support.

Overall the review is positive but you'll want to consider this paragraph:

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.
