Samsung SM940MW 19" Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV - Good as a monitor?

Bullit2 · 24 Aug 2006 at 09:08

Hi,

Just ordered me the above TV/Monitor to use as a computer monitor as well as a HDTV in my second room. I am curious to know how it performs as a monitor and if there is anyone out there who owns one of these and uses it on a computer, I would like to hear your verdict please.

They are available at £264 inc. VAT from Overclockers, which is an amazing price, and as it has a 8ms response time which should mean it should be suitable even for gaming (Hopefully!).

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Looks like no-one has been brave enough to buy one of these to use as a monitor yet then

I will post a review to help people when I receive mine. I do warn you in advance, this is my first TFT / LCD after years on a 22" CRT so I am not the best person to review. Should be interesting with me comparing the picture quality as I am moving from a top of the range Sony CRT.

sure i've seen a couple of people with one here before, but they should make a fine monitor as well after all they are using a Samsung TN Film panel which has been used in other models as well which don't have tV fucntionality. Anyway, let us know how you find it

Hey, that monitor caught my eye. How did you find it, Bullit2?

Seeing as this SM940MW is on offer, I am even more tempted. Would anyone know if I could connect it to my laptop and use both screens at once e.g, I use CAD software and would be great to have it open on my laptop and have a tutorial open on the tft at the same time??
