The 245T monitor has a 24-inch, 16:10 wide-screen format, with a 178/178-degree viewing angle.
The viewing angle is achieved via Samsung's proprietary Super Patterned Vertical Alignment (S-PVA), the latest technology advancement in liquid crystal cell structure, for an improved user viewing experience.
The 245T monitor's ultra-wide viewing area can support a range of multi-window applications, thereby helping to improve work efficiency and reducing the need for two monitors.
Furthermore, the 245T model features a high 1920 x 1200 resolution, allowing the monitor to deliver clearer and more precise images.
The 245T monitor's image quality is also enhanced by Samsung's MagicContrast which offers a super high contrast ratio and an extra-wide viewing angle that's ideal for providing detailed onscreen images.
With the 3000:1 super-high dynamic contrast ratio, it's easy to read or view content on the monitor's screen.
The 245T model also comes equipped with MagicSpeed, which gives users an ultra-fast 6ms response time (gray to gray), making the monitor ideal for computer gaming and multimedia-driven applications such as motion or streaming video.
A faster response time provides better performance of motion video, and produces smoother edges, clearer images and a more natural image response.
These features make the 245T monitor an ideal choice for a range of high-end commercial applications that require clear and precise images, such as CAD/CAM fine-detailed drawings, web and graphic design and desktop publishing.

 The best monitor I tried |
| Review Date: May 24, 2008 |

Crisp, clean, bright picture. Brilliant colors. Much better viewing area than the cheaper competition. Hands down the best monitor I tried. I have tried:
Gateway FHD2400 24" widescreen
Samsung 2496HM 24" widescreen
Samsung 245BW 24" widescreen
and this one.
The 245T has a pixel viewing angle of 178 degrees compared to the others which are 160 degrees. That means that I can see all the screen including the edges of the screen clearly. 24 inches is big. With a lesser viewing angle, the only clear viewability is directly forward at eye level. With 160 degrees, I look to the lower left edge of the screen and images are blurry and less color. 178 degrees allows it to be as clear and crisp no matter where my eye/head position is. With the 160 degrees, when I walked over to the monitor (standing) I could not see the elements of the taskbar (e.g. look for a "new mail" icon). I had to bend down and look at eye level to make out what was on the screen. With 178 degrees, I can see it while standing up. Huge difference.
The colors on this are the best too. The picture is clean, whiter, hotter, more adjustable. All the others had overly-red saturation no matter what settings I tried.
The 245T has actual buttons rather than the dumbly-designed touch/heat sensitive panel on some others.
I ordered this on Amazon, and it arrived next day and works beautifully.
It's more expensive than the other monitors, but I use a monitor all day. Chintzing on a monitor would be a bad idea, like trying to save money by buying a cheaper mattress, or a cheap desk chair. Not a good idea to buy bad quality for something that is an integral part of my life.
If my needs were less vigorous, like paying bills online or other tasks that only involved brief episodes with a computer, I might be satisfied with one of the other cheap models. But in my opinion, there is absolutely no comparison between the 245T and anything else I saw in my extensive searching for a 24" widescreen monitor. The 245T is worth it.

| I bought this sight unseen after reading some reviews, as local dealers had only the 245B. After a few days, during which I haven't yet done much with the menu system, I have to give it five stars simply based on the visual display, which is incredible right out of the box. I am moving up from a 19" standard LCD monitor (HP) and wondered if I should go higher than 24". If you're making a similar move, I'd advise you to be careful. I see now that anything larger than 24" would be too much for my purposes. Probably 22" would have been sufficient. (I'm not a gamer.) In fact, I'm leaving an inch of desktop at each side of the screen for direct access to my icons. |
Awesome Monitor!!

This is now my third Samsung monitor after recently upgrading from a Samsung 24" 243T. The picture quality and overall look of the new 245T monitor are quite simply AWESOME!
The benefits of this monitor are impressive: switchable HDMI and DVI input, PIP , and a full featured display control panel.
Looking for a spectacular picture? Try hooking this display up via HDMI to a blu-ray player! This monitor produces a knockout razor sharp picture with 3-dimensional pop.
I also use this for Photoshop and love working with the sharp 1920x1200 resolution.
My new monitor arrived from Amazon in a well packed double box. The monitor was perfect, no dead pixels and functioned flawlessly right out of the box. I downloaded and installed the latest driver from the Samsung site, and was good to go. Had the monitor up and running in 10 minutes.
Highly recommend this monitor for anybody who is looking a high performance, reasonably priced monitor. |
New factory settings are excellent

See Maximum PC, which rates this monitor over the Dell 2408. I read all the reviews, both professional magazines, web, personal, etc. All complained that the default settings, as delivered, were excessive, and the monitor was only useful after calibrating it. Obviously Samsung read the same reviews, and they now deliver with moderate settings. I checked my delivered monitor against their suggested, altered settings, and they are very close. I tweaked a few things for personal preference but that's it.
I needed a monitor for Photoshop CS3 (not gaming, not hdtv) and so I needed a true 8-bit color monitor, not one of the cheaper 6-bit TN panels. For a 24", with these specs, in this price range, your best bets are the 245T or the Dell 2408. You'll find reviewers that rate one higher than the other depending on who you read. I subscribe to Maximum PC and decided to go with their recommendation, which is the 245T. Plus they cost about the same, depending on what promotions Dell is running when it's time to buy.
I have this next to my Samsung 215tw, also an 8-bit monitor, 22", but 3 years older, and the 245T shows more detail in the shadows. It's beautiful and exactly what I expected. I highly recommend it if you work with PhotoShop at home.
I also bought an Ergotron LX computer arm for it (on Amazon $114) which is mounted to my desk and I can easily swing it wherever I need it, or spin it into portrait mode. Same with the 215tw. |
Samsung SyncMaster 245T 24" LCD Monitor: The Best One!

| Reviewer: Dr. Richard Balliet, Murrysville, PA USA |
I have a PhD in Vision Research, specializing in color science. (Yes, really!) By my eye, the Samsung SyncMaster 245T 24" LCD Monitor is the clearest, brightest and most colorful Monitor on the Market. See colors that could previously only be seen on "Studio CRT's" costing thousands of $.
Surprisingly, there are many Websites that have "colors" that you cannot normally see accurately with essentially any other Monitor; especially, at the high brightness levels of the 245T. Expensive...But, stunning. Like no other I have seen. If you get one, go to Wired.com (bright greens) or even Newsweek.com (multiple-reds)or Amazon.com (brilliant orange buttons).
No, I have no connection with Samsung, other than also owning the predecessor - 244T that is just as good; but, not as colorful. RB |
