If you like your PC bits and bobs to be sleek, shiny and wonderful looking, this Samsung monitor could be what you're looking for. The shiny black surround makes the matt screen look decidedly dull when it's turned off. But once your computer is fired up and displaying bright, crisp pictures, the classy surround makes a lot of difference, boosting the appearance of the already decent-quality screen.

The specifications are state of the art with a fast response time, which is ideal for playing games and watching videos, and a high contrast ratio which will give you brighter whites and darker blacks.

You can connect the monitor using either VGA or DVI cables, both of which are included. Although it doesn't have fancy extras such as a USB hub or built-in speakers, this has the positive benefit of keeping the price down, and we like the price of this model a lot.
