Review monitor Samsung BX2250

The Samsung BX2250 monitor belongs to the category of monitors that are optimal for installation in apartments, primarily due to the compact size of the diagonal of 21.5 inches. On the one hand, this diagonal ensures comfortable viewing and work in applications and games, and on the other hand, makes the monitor compact and suitable for installation even in the most confined environments.

Now let's take a closer look at some of the key points.

Appearance and functional features of the monitor

Stylish and sleek, this monitor will surely take root on your desk. The front panel contains a glossy finish and this somewhat overshadows the pleasure - you will have to wipe it from time to time from fingerprints. The control block is located at the bottom right, so there is often no need to touch the rest of the glossy parts.

Separately, I would like to say how nice the bezel looks on the black frame of the screen, it really gives the monitor a spectacular look.

On the back panel there is a beautiful embossed pattern, in the middle of the panel the name of the manufacturer is imprinted in large letters.

Well, the most important design fad of this monitor is the stand. We are used to the standard flat and angular stands, but here the designers decided to completely redesign the stand. Now it is a voluminous, unusually curved figure that fits very organically into the overall design of the monitor. Agree that this is much more pleasant than an ordinary square piece of plastic. Moreover, this design additionally expands the free space under the monitor. Functionally, however, the stand is not too developed and only allows you to change the angle of inclination of the monitor, but often this is quite enough.

In the lower right corner, on a translucent edging, are the monitor control keys. As for the menu, it contains both standard settings - brightness, contrast, color, and some special features, for example, the MagicEco function. This setting allows you to choose the power consumption mode between 100%, 75% and 50%, thus allowing you to save a little on the power consumption of the monitor, which, by the way, is already small. In addition to this option, there is also a sleep timer - set the time, and the monitor will turn off itself at the right time. This is useful for those who are quite busy people and from time to time forget to turn off some devices.

The monitor control buttons are located in the lower left part of the screen bezel, their captions are applied to the translucent bezel. Therefore, it will be easy to control the monitor settings.

General impression

The monitor with a diagonal of 21.5 inches has a maximum resolution of 1920 * 1080, i.e. widescreen display.

It would be strange if such a monitor did not have digital outputs to provide high quality image signals. Indeed, in this regard Samsung ВХ2250 did not disappoint, the monitor already has two HDMI outputs, which makes it possible to simultaneously connect several devices to the monitor. Thanks to this, the monitor can be used both as a computer monitor and as a TV at the same time, without having to reconnect cables, of course, provided that both the computer and the TV signal source also have HDMI connectors.As for modern DVD and Blu-Ray players, game consoles, HD camcorders, the vast majority of them have HDMI outputs, and they can be easily connected to a monitor.

There will be no problems when connecting laptops, even if they are not equipped with digital outputs, they can be connected via a regular D-Sub (VGA), since there is a standard connector. The only problem may be with the owners of devices with only DVI-outputs (there are such video cards). Then you will need to use a special DVI-HDMI adapter, and this is a small additional cost.

As you can see, with the connectors on the monitor, everything is more or less normal.

The monitor contains a matrix with a very fast response time - only 2 ms, which is an excellent indicator. Dynamic scenes are guaranteed not to blur during playback, and movement in games will be smooth and clear at the same time, without artifacts.

The MEGA DCR Dynamic Contrast Ratio function delivers impressive detail and realism for cinematic scenes and games. The backlight adjusts perfectly depending on the incoming video signal, and even a complete shutdown of the backlight in the monitor may occur. As a result, we get a ratio between the brightness of light and dark such that it makes the image more natural.

The monitor provides pre-configured settings that are optimized from the manufacturer's point of view for working with certain groups of applications. These are "Text", "Internet", "Movie" and several other modes. Needless to say, all this is purely individual and for you, perhaps, the "Cinema" mode is more suitable for working on the Internet or editing text. Or it may be that none of the modes will suit you, which means that you need to use the manual setting.

There are also effects popular in photo and video cameras - black and white mode, sepia and others. It is not entirely clear why such options are needed, but perhaps someone will like them.

From the pleasant moments of working with the image, it should be said about the possibility of automatically determining the aspect ratio, after which the monitor itself chooses the optimal picture display mode, which practically does not distort the proportions of the original picture. This is very good because the image is not stretched to fill the entire screen and therefore does not distort.

Perhaps this is all the main thing that this monitor has, as for the brightness parameters and viewing angles, everything is within normal limits, allowing you to comfortably view the image.

Outcomes

Company Samsung once again presented us with an excellent sample of its products, albeit on a TN matrix. The manufacturer was able to squeeze out the functions to the maximum during the production of this device. The presence of two digital connectors for high definition video allows the monitor to work with two devices connected at the same time. In addition, there is the usual connector, which is still very popular and is available in many laptops as the only interface for connecting an external monitor, so that it is not difficult to connect a laptop to a monitor.

The only drawback is the lack of DVI, because some video cards are equipped with only such a connector, which means that you will need to use an adapter. That's all. Monitor F.ua.
