imagine a monitor youre reluctant to turn off at the end of the workday. Thats the dilemma you face with the Samsung 953BW 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 953BW 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.

    5 of 5 Great Monitor Friday, May 30, 2008
    N/A from Washington, DC  

    The Samsung monitor is really great and sharp. It's easy to adjust and assemble together. The only issue I had was with Buy.com. It took them to long for the deliver, and when I got the first one which had a problem. It took Buy.com two weeks to send another one, after I had sent it out with their tracking number. That is all I have to say.

    5 of 5 Excellent monitor and TV! Sunday, April 13, 2008
    A Customer from St. Louis, MO  
    This is a great monitor for my Macintosh! The color, resolution, and performance beat any other monitor I have used, including ones several times the price. Too bad it only has one DVI port as it is also a great 19" widescreen TV when hooked up to my DirecTV HD receiver. It is worth the effort to unhook the computer's DVI cable and hook up an HDMI-DVI cable when I want to work off of my older LCD monitor while watching TV. Two DVI ports would have been awesome.
