Samsung 206NW

Good styling
Very affordable
Lack of DVI
DCR is inconsistent

Samsung has over the last few years gone from strength to strength. Its LCD panels have come to be regarded as reliable products that deliver exceptional VFM in the 17" and 19" sizes. However, one area where it's been low-key in India has been in the larger sizes of 20" and above. Looking to change this, Samsung recently introduced a clutch of large widescreens. The 206NW is one such model, and is the product that we will be reviewing today.

The 206NW follows a standard design and color scheme, as you can see from the pictures. The monitor housing has a glossy piano black finish, which is used by virtually every manufacturer today. The bezel follows the same color pattern and is only differentiated at the bottom by a slim aluminum strip that houses the various OSD controls and a large plain silver power button.

The base of the monitor is made of soft plastic that is sturdy and allows easy movement. The degree of movement is practically 360 degrees by way of tilt and swivel, but does not offer anything by way of height adjustment. This does affect viewing, as one can’t customize the viewing angle at all – it may even be a deal breaker for some.

The back of the monitor is unassuming and sports just the power plug and D-Sub port. A point of interest is the smoothness of the OSD control panel. Its buttons are well spaced and offer an easy customization experience with quick key presses. Physically the monitor is not slim or stunningly sexy, but being a Samsung its better-looking than most. The only glitch (which seems to affect every monitor these days) is that the glossy finish is a fingerprint magnet.

viewsonic 2235wm (22 inches monitor) with dvi connection
is avilable for a price of Rs.15300/- which offers far better
value for money.i generally find that the samsung range
of lcd monitors as well as lcd tvs are overpriced
