Review of popular 19 inch monitors Samsung
A nineteen-inch screen is perhaps the most common screen size. And it is not surprising, since this is the most optimal screen diagonal for home use. If you work with text documents at home, like to watch movies and do not forget to devote time to games, then you need exactly nineteen inches.
But which manufacturer should you give preference to? Samsung, of course! After all, it is Samsung that is the most popular brand of monitors, because it is Samsung that occupies a leading position in the market for LSD screens, and it is they who are leading in the implementation of innovative technologies.
Samsung has a huge list of TFT monitor models.
In this review, we'll take a closer look at Samsung's nineteen-inch line of monitors. All terminology is presented in simple terms, without the use of technical terms.
But before that, let's look at some of the concepts used to display characteristics:
Screen type
Basically, for computer technology, CRTs (based on a cathode-ray tube) or LCD (liquid crystal) monitors are produced. In this review, we are considering only liquid crystal monitors, since CRT monitors are already considered obsolete and practically out of production.
LCD type
As you know, LCD matrices are mainly of 3 types, which have several "subspecies":
1.TN + film or Twisted Nematic + film
2. IPS or In-Plane Switching) - as well as S-IPS, AS-IPS, A-TW-IPS, AFFS (S-IPS pro)
3. * VA or Vertical Alignment) - like MVA and PVA
The models under consideration have a TN + film matrix. This matrix is the most used and inexpensive, since the manufacturing technology is the simplest.
The advantages of this matrix are that it has the shortest response time. The disadvantages include worse color rendering and smaller viewing angles.
Response time
The time it takes for the monitor to respond to the received signal, the time it takes to change the white point to black, and back. That is, the monitor displays the image faster. For viewing dynamic scenes in video, a monitor with a minimal response time is best suited. This parameter is measured in milliseconds and for all the models we are considering it is equal to 5 ms. That at the moment is the minimum indicator.
Viewing angle
The viewing angle is the maximum angle in relation to the plane of the monitor, at which a contrasting picture is still visible. The monitors under consideration have different values for this indicator.
Screen format
Displays the aspect ratio of the screen. The most common formats used for computer monitors are 5: 4, 4: 3, 16: 9, and 16:10. For nineteen-inch monitors, all of the above formats are used.
Resolution
The ratio of the number of dots across the width and height of the monitor. For each aspect ratio there is a "native" screen resolution, and it is not recommended to change it, as the change will affect the image quality. It is recommended that you decide which resolution is best for your eyes before purchasing a monitor.
Contrast
This is the ratio of the brightness of the lightest point to the brightness of the darkest one. The lower the contrast, the less the difference between the light point and the bright point. For example, if a contrast ratio of 800: 1 is specified, this means that the lightest point is eight thousand brighter than the darkest, and if 2: 1, then it is almost identical.
Also in the characteristics of the monitor you can find the concept of "Dynamic contrast", it is always more than the standard indicator. It is achieved through the use of backlighting.
Brightness
Brightness indicates the amount of light that the screen emits. It is measured in candelas.
Interfaces
It is worth paying attention to the video connectors used to connect to the computer, as they also affect the image quality. There are these types of connectors: VGA, DVI, HDMI, Display Port, SCART, S-Video, as well as AV.
Also, each monitor has different additional functions, such as: TV tuner, anti-reflective coating of the monitor, built-in speakers and additional connectors.
And so, for the selected nineteen inch Samsung monitors, a TFT TN + film matrix is used, and the response time for which is 5 ms. Also, all monitors have a maximum number of colors of 16.7 million. All monitors are equipped with a built-in power supply. The vertical scanning frequency for them is 30 - 81 kHz, and horizontally - 56 - 75 Hz. These monitors have a VESA wall mount system, which adds another plus when choosing a monitor. Recently, a TV tuner has been built into new models of monitors, which allows the monitor to be used as a TV, but, unfortunately, such devices are absent in the current review. The entire line has been certified by international environmental standards, such as MPR-II, TCO''03; Plug & Play: DDC 2B, as well as VESA DPMS energy standard.

Based on the above characteristics, data on Samsung monitors, for clarity, can be displayed in diagrams and tables.
Tab. # 1 Aspect ratio based on monitor series
As you can see from this table, most nineteen-inch monitors have a maximum resolution of 1440x900 with an aspect ratio of 16:10. It is worth noting that many users consider the aspect ratio for 19-inch 16: 9 monitors to be the mainstream, but they forget that almost all of them are 18.5-inches.
Tab. # 2 Pixel size, brightness and dynamic contrast
From the table we can see that the minimum pixel size is 943N monitors; 943NW; 943BW.
Diagram no.1 Power consumption
From this diagram, we see that the most economical monitor is Samsung EX1920W, and the most energy-consuming ones are Samsung 911NT and Samsung 911LT.
Despite all of the above characteristics, when choosing a monitor, you first need to realize what activity you need it for and what you want to see in it. Do not forget that each monitor has certain inherent qualities, and each has its own pros and cons.
Yours faithfully…
