Review @ bit-tech.netLikewise, the real-world viewing angles in games and movies are impressive. The dark tone colour inversion that can be so distracting in many cheaper panels is conspicuous by its near absence on Samsung’s 2253LW. The nippy pixel response also makes it a good choice for blur-sensitive gamers. OK, it's not as vivid or as punchy as a good PVA or IPS screen. But once you've adjusted to the low-key look, it's not all that unpleasant.
[...]Awkwardly proportioned and packed with ostensibly clever but actually rather pointless image quality enhancements, what exactly do we make of Samsung's new 21.6-inch display? In default mode—the mode we recommend you leave this display set to—it's a solid but unspectacular performer.
The real problem, therefore, is pricing. At over £200, it's not exactly cheap. Especially when you factor in the missing HDMI port and 0.4-inch shortfall in panel size. That may not sound like a lot. But in the absence of any mitigating features, it's just noticeable enough to be a significant niggle at this price point.
