Which 22 inch to choose? Six monitors tested with reaction times from 2 to 5 ms
by Vincent Alzieu
Published on December 19, 2006
Samsung SyncMaster 225BW   It is one of the most expensive and also one of the most popular, because it seems to be one step ahead of the competition. Four points clearly put it above the rest: it has a DVI input;
it’s HDCP certified. This isn´t indispensable today but what about in 2, 3 or 5 years?
The monitor is vertically adjustable ! It is really handy to adjust the monitor position compared to the keyboard and your eyes;
With the MagicBright function, you can instantly choose between 6 color modes: text, Internet, Games, Movies, Sport and personalised parameters. The contrast and brightness change according to the environment. It’s just a shame that none of them are really accurate. Each new step provided by the software contradicts the previous step, changes everything and doesn’t improve the final rendering. Even if we follow the directions step by step, we end up by having less accurate colors.
For reaction time, however, Asus wins. For colors Acer is better, and finally for design Fujitsu Siemens gets the first position. Despite the very high price, the 225BW only wins the ergonomics trophy.
