Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ Stereoscopic 3D Monitor Review

Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ the first stereoscopic 3D-compatible monitor offers great movies and games experience the other monitor available with 120 Hz refresh rate is ViewSonic FuHzion vx2265.

Monitors with refresh of 120 Hz are compatible with Nvidia’s new GeForce 3D Vision technology and provides cleaner textures in fast moving games. Those who are interested in Nvidia’s 3D Vision Kit should opt for Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ because of its performance in movies and games.

Samsung 2233RZ offers 1680×1050 native resolution, 300cd/m2 brightness, 20,000:1 contrast ratio, 3ms response time, and 170/160 viewing angle. The chassis is mostly glossy all-around, however, about two-thirds of the back has a matte finish accompanied by engraved pictures of flower petals. Each flower had a bumpy texture engraved into it. The Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ’s onscreen display buttons are located on the lower right side, on the outside of the panel. It includes five buttons, stacked on top of each other. The buttons include Menu, Up, Down, Enter and Back, with the power button below. The Up and Down buttons also double as shortcuts to brightness and contrast controls, respectively. Each button is nearly a half inch in diameter with a convex shape. Pressing the buttons delivers a satisfying clicking sound and each depresses enough to make it obvious when it’s been pushed.

Supported by a dual-link DVI cable, the 120Hz refresh rate ensures the displays’ compatibility with the $199 Nvidia 3D Vision Kit stereoscopic 3D glasses. The glasses give 3D games added depth to the image. For example, when playing Unreal Tournament 3, your map and menu items look like stickers, stuck to the screen and the rest of the graphics–characters, vehicles–look much farther away.
