Hi all,

We have just published a review of *Samsung's SM2693HM 25.5" widescreen
monitor* - if you could post a link on your site that would be very much
appreciated.

*/If you've worked your way diligently through this review you will by
now be thinking the 2693HM is something of a stinker. With the crappy
colours, poor black tones, crushed whites, mediocre viewing angles, it
certainly doesn't score highly in many areas.

It's still a strangely likeable display, though. The size and pixel
pitch are a nice compromise for gamers who also use their rigs for
productivity applications (well, just as long as colour accuracy isn't
crucial), but it's definitely not one for anyone who is looking to edit
a lot of digital photographs.

The quality of the chassis and stand also lends a subtle but significant
feel good factor. The adjustability is a boon on a display in this price
range, because most of its competitors ship models without height
adjustment and pivot capabilities - the former is a feature we believe
is incredibly important on a screen of this size.

Therefore, if you can live with the fidelity issues, it's a big, bright,
spectacular monitor that's great for gaming and basic productivity or
web browsing.

On a final and pretty important note, we've noticed that prices are
unusually variable for the SyncMaster 2693HM. Pixmania lists it at a
little over $B!r(B300 while the normally well-priced Overclockers.co.uk
wants over $B!r(B400. Make sure, therefore, that you shop around if this
display whets your appetite./
