imagine a monitor youre reluctant to turn off at the end of the workday. Thats the dilemma you face with the Samsung 2253BW widescreen LCD monitors. Their stunning design holds technology that makes them serious monitors for text, graphics and motion video in the workplace. And in the evening, that same technology delivers flawless movies and gaming. You might never turn your monitor off again. With the 2253BW widescreen LCD monitors, its not hard to imagine.

Work can be beautiful

  • Youll enjoy looking at your new Samsung monitor. And thats before you even turn it on. The 53 Series widescreen monitors feature an acrylic bar along the bottom edge that sets them apart with style. The bezels are finished in a rich, high-gloss black, with matching glossy black pedestals. The edges are gracefully rounded, and the design incorporates buttonless touch controls. All of a sudden, your office feels like an art museum.

    Fast 2 ms G to G response for sharp motion graphics

  • Not everything you do on your Samsung will be a spreadsheet or a still picture. You might be viewing a website with motion video. You might be watching a sales video. You might be watching the playoffs with the gang one night after work. Maybe youre even sneaking in a little gaming time at lunch. Whatever the case may be ultra-fast 2 ms Gray-to-Gray response times give you sharp, smear-free, impressive motion video.

    8000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for a continually inspiring picture

  • Samsung dynamic contrast analyzes picture input signals and continually adjusts brightness for optimized contrast. The result is brighter brights without blowing out the whites, and richer blacks that hold detail. With 8000:1 dynamic contrast, its a constantly shifting range that always delivers the most detailed picture possible.

    HDCP for display of high-resolution digital content

  • Theyre HDCP-compatible High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). So when you connect a Blu-ray player, game console or other HD source to your monitor, the content will be displayed with no disruption due to content protection. Youll be able to watch high resolution movies with all the quality thats intended.

    Power Consumption Control saves energy and saves money

  • You can set your Samsung monitor to turn off automatically at a specific time. It saves energy, it extends the life of your monitor and it ensures your Samsung monitor is operating at peak efficiency for a long time to come.

    Custom Key gives you a monitor customized to you

  • Which Samsung picture-optimization function do you find yourself using the most? With the Custom Key, you can set it to give you one-touch access to MagicBright, MagicColor, Color Effect or Aspect Ratio Control.

    Wide 16:10 ratio with Aspect Ratio Control

  • With a wide aspect ratio, you can view DVDs the way they were meant to be viewed. With Samsungs Aspect Ratio Control, you can also view 5:4 and 4:3 content the way it was meant to be viewed. If you use a typical wide monitor with a PC that doesnt support wide aspect ratios, the picture will expand to fill the wide monitor and distort. With the user-selectable Wide and Normal Image Size modes on the Samsung 953BW, 2053BW, 2253BW and 2253LW wide monitors, the original aspect is preserved, so no matter what youre viewing, it will be distortion-free.

    I've seen the same monitor advertised for as much as $60 more. I've had Samsung monitors before and this one lives up to it's name.

    4 of 5 solid monitor Wednesday, May 14, 2008
    A Customer from Mountain View, CA  
    Overall I like it a lot. I went from solely a 12" laptop screen to this :) No dead pixels. High quality everything. Buttons that control it (contrasts, brightness, etc) are tucked away on bottom right of front bezel so they aren't the easiest to access, but that's a small price you pay for the minimalist styling and I don't mind so much. Read review earlier that this doesn't tilt -- it does tilt as the tilting mechanism is found on the stand and not the LCD itself. I bought it for it's widescreen format, but I wish it weren't widescreen though because it makes the vertical shorter than I'd like -- that's my pref though and not necessarily a fault. Otherwise a winner.

    5 of 5 Excellent monitor Wednesday, April 30, 2008
    A Customer from NYC, NY  
    I have this monitor hooked up using the DVI connection to my PC. It is set to a resolution of 1680 x 1050 and the picture quality is incredible. Blueray, DVD, HDTV (using an over the air antenna) give very sharp picture quality. Since it is a 22" widescreen only 3 feet away it is like viewing my 42" from 8 feet away. Oh, it is also great for the business softwares I run. In Project 2007 I not only see the task information but a great deal of the gantt chart without having to "slide" the screen to the right. I am definitely glad I bought it.
