Pros

Stylish design. Good text and HD image quality. Relatively affordable.
Very modern, Vast array of inputs actually makes it pretty versatile for it's small size!, Excellent display quality and performance, It's TV side gives it plenty of inputs and a feature filled menu for customization and setup.
The Samsung SyncMaster FX2490HD has an impressive number of connection options, built-in speakers, and a remote control, with great movie and game performance. It also has a couple of design flourishes that contribute to not only its aesthetic appeal.

Cons

Lacks DVI port. Uneven backlighitng. Oversaturated colors.
No VESA mounting capabilities
The Samsung SyncMaster FX2490HD requires color calibrating to get the picture quality to an acceptable level; its lack of DVI connection means you'll need to purchase an adapter or new cord to get it working with a modern PC.

To wrap things up, I went price hunting for the FX2490HD. I was able to find this display for around $379CDN from NCIX. What really shocked me was that my XL2370 23" LED monitor was only $50 cheaper! For the small difference of $50, not only does the...

If you stick to using it as a TV, then the FX2490HD is definitely one to beat. Unfortunately, Samsung hasn't been careful enough with its colour reproduction for it to get a five-star...

Contrary to Samsung's claim, this is primarily an HD TV, rather than a monitor. With overblown colours and processing, images look far from natural. It's also far too expensive....

PC monitor and HDTV technology have been converging in recent years. The new Samsung SyncMaster FX2490HD takes that trend to its logic conclusion. Superficially, it's a pretty ordinary 24-inch PC monitor, albeit a snazzy-looking example with an LED...
