Samsung has released their newest monitor in the SyncMaster line.

Today we’ll take a look at the 20″ TFT-LCD screen and look at its features.

The SM204B monitor has a contrast ratio (ratio between brightest and darkest images) of 800:1. This isn’t above average for this type of screen.

The monitor sports a 5ms response time and a .255mm pixel pitch. The pixel pitch appeared to me to be a little high (in this case the lower the pitch the less grainy the picture). It is really an average pitch, but for that size of monitor I was hoping for a little more.

The monitor contains vertical and horizontal viewing angles of 160 degrees which is decent. But, what struck me was that its brightness was poor (300 cd/m2).

Samsung’s SM204B has a maximum resolution of 1600 x 12oo and supports 16.7 million different colors. It comes in two colors: silver and black.

Other Visual Features

1. Mounts on VESA wall and arm mount
2. Stand allows height adjustment and up to 90 of vertical rotation
3. Magic Bright - best viewing environment in six modes: Document, Internet, Games, Sports, Movie, and Customized. All at the touch of a button.
4. Magic Zone - increase brightness in one area, or full area of the screen
5. Magic Color - enhances full color and protects skin tone.
