    Monitor/TV???

    Does anyone know anything about the Samsung SyncMaster SM225MW?

    I am looking for a new television and for £300 this seemed like a good deal. I could always use it as a petty decent monitor if I get a super-dupa tv in the future...

    Anybody know if this is a jack-of-all master-of-none kinda product or do you think it would be a decent tv for a small living room?

    Ive not heard of this one. Specs look pretty good and samsung panels are well regarded.

    This is the one i was looking at buying

    Similar sort of thing.. Wall mountable was the selling point for me.

    ooh interesting... that's a fair bit cheaper too. What I am looking for is a flat panel tv for under £300. I saw the samsung and thought that the possibility of connecting my pc was too good to miss. Any other recommendations along this line?

    How does this compare with the others above? from what I can tell it is very similar to the play.com LG mentioned by staffsMike above but with a better response time and DVI input. Anyone got one of these - how good is the tv tuner?
