There’s something really appealing about the idea of creating a wall of HD monitors for under a grand. And Samsung’s latest models – the B2030, the B2230 and the B2430 – all offer HD resolutions for under $300. Someone block my credit card so I don’t create myself a Watchmen-like video wall…
There are three screens in the range: The B2030 is a 20-inch, 1600×900 monitor with a 5ms response time and 16.7million colour support, which costs $249. The B2230 boosts the resolution to 1920×1080 with a screen size of 21.5-inches and costs $299. The B2430 is the largest at 23.6 inches, but only costs $249, despite offering 1920×1080 resolution, the same 5ms response time and 300 cd/㎡ brightness as the others. It looks like the B2430 isn’t Mac compatible though, and none of the models have HDMI inputs, instead relying on DVI to do the connection dirty work.
But for under $300, can you really complain?
