Samsung SyncMaster 305T | Massive 30″ LCD Monitor Excellent Image Quality

If your looking for an LCD monitor this size then you’re stuck with choosing from a just a few manufactures at the moment: Apple, Dell, HP, Gateway and Samsung. Which does mean the price is comparatively high compared to other lower end monitors in terms of Price to Inch ratio, but are defiantly worth it if you are looking for a lot of screen real estate.

The Samsung SyncMaster 305T is one of the few really large monitors out there and one of the more popular thanks to its relatively low price tag, compared to other 30” monitors and its great features.

The monitor supports a native resolution of 2,560×1,600 pixels, but can only be viewed at this resolution if you have a high end graphics card connected with a dual link DVI cable. If your graphics card doesn’t support it then you’ll be stuck displaying at 1,920×1,440 which isn’t bad, but I know you would rather get what you pay for.

One of the main complements everyone gives this monitor is the color quality, which is incredibly sharp and rich. The reason for this is the contrast ratio, which is a massive 1,000:1 allowing the monitor to display subtle differences in different color shades. Non of the usual menus can be found on this monitor as Samsung obviously feel their monitor is perfect for color ratios as the only buttons on the monitor adjust the brightness.

The number of ports on the monitor is a bit disappointing though, as the SyncMaster 305T only has one DVI port, no other connections limiting the number of devices you can attach it to. Although it does have 4 downstream USB connectors for desktop peripherals which is always a nice feature to have on monitors, saving you going under the desk to plug devices in.

The Samsung SyncMaster 305T does have a reality small amount of features than other monitors, but it more than makes up for it with its size and picture quality. This monitor would be great for video editors and graphics artists or anyone who needs a large amount of screen real estate. Although the monitor has an 8ms response time and most gamers look for a lower value than this, I don’t think your going to be complaining when your shooting people at 30 inches.
