The Samsung SyncMaster P2450H, like other SyncMaster monitors, is a huge performer, and at 24 inches, has a very impressive size too.
The monitor comes packaged with a standard VGA cable (I recommend buying an HDMI cable as they aren't expensive and are better quality), the stand, warranty paperwork, instructions (English included), a CD with all the necessary drivers, etc. and of course the monitor. The packaged weight is only 7kg, so it won't be too heavy for most to handle and the package size is not overly large either.
The P2450H boasts a 2ms response time, and when playing movies, games, etc. the fast moving action sequences are crisp and lose no definition at all, even when running at 25fps and at 1080p Hi-Def. Be careful not to blame the monitor if your computers graphics card and other hardware can't supply the resources needed though.
Once it is plugged in and the drivers are installed etc, the on-screen display features are at hand to set this monitor up just the way you like it.
The full features are:
MagicSpeed (2ms) This feature facilitates a fast response time which helps eliminate fuzzy and blurry images
Mountable design This design feature makes the unit wall mountable and VESA compatible for flexibility and functionality
Innovative power saving This feature is DPMS (Digital Power Management System) and ensures that the unit is optimised at all times
MagicBright This feature allows optimisation of the unit to suit the environment
MagicTune This software feature gives the user an on line display interface
There is bound to be something that is appropriate for your specific needs, and all easily accessible, and if you - like many - can't be bothered to set things up, there is the ever popular "Auto" button to keep it all simple.
This monitor also has touch-screen type buttons for manual setup and these buttons glow a nice red, which sets off the overall ergonomic appeal of this monitor satisfactorily. With all the other pluses this monitor has to offer, and with a low price tag, you will be hard pushed to be disappointed with the Samsung SyncMaster P2450H.
