Samsung's 245T is a great-looking, thin-bezel 24in widescreen monitor that can swivel, tilt, pivot, and be adjusted for height.

The Samsung 245T's connectivity options include four USB ports, plus HDMI, VGA, DVI, composite, component, and S-Video ports. The only input missing is a Display Port connection, a linking technology that has gained popularity recently.

Despite the Samsung 245T's £709 price tag, you don't get a built-in Webcam or speakers; but the display does have a picture-in-picture option--a great feature to have, in view of all the input choices.

In our Test Centre evaluations, the Samsung 245T performed well, earning a score of Very Good.

The Samsung 245T is best suited for users who need many connectivity options--because, say, they want to use it for PC work and TV/movie viewing. But the 245T is more expensive than other, similarly specified widescreen LCD displays.

  • Samsung SyncMaster P2250 review

    Samsung SyncMaster P2250

    Samsung has brought the style of its previous LCD television range to its latest LCD monitors. Though lacking the LED backlighting technology seen in many of the latest televisions and bereft of an HDMI port, the 21.5in Samsung SyncMaster P2250 LCD monitor provides good all-round image quality.
