    The Good: The Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 is low-priced, beautifully designed, and offers great overall performance. Also, it's one of the lightest and thinnest monitors we've tested of any size.

    The Bad: The Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 lacks ergonomic features and its base is quite wobbly.

    The Bottom Line: The Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 looks great, performs well, and hits the right price point.

    Review Summary: The Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 is a gorgeous-looking display. Just 15mm thick at the edges, it has a clear plastic edge around its bezel and a similar design on the base, with a clear plastic stand. At the rear are DVI and HDMI inputs but - unusually -...

    The Verdict: A gorgeous design and excellent picture quality don't justify the inexplicably high price

    Review Summary: Samsung XL2370 has attracted a lot of attention because of the 30 mm slim profile. The secret behind the slim design is LED backlighting that also reduces power consumption.

    The Verdict: Samsung XL2370 is one of Samsung's first PC monitor to utilize the LED backlight also used on many new TVs nowadays. The LED backlight enables a very slim panel and reduces power consumption. It does not result in improvements to picture quality,...

    Review Summary: Liquid Crystal Displays have long struggled to find a comfortable home on our desks. Even though prices have dropped considerably in the past few years, many people are still shy to opt for an LCD as their primary monitor for a number of reasons.

    Review Summary: Up until now, we've seen what appears to be seemingly few LED monitors on the market. A handful of manufacturers have a token model or two, but not much beyond that. Pricing seems to be fairly overall affordable, but availability can be hit or miss...

    The Verdict: If I had to choose a monitor currently on the market to replace my primary display, I would likely consider the XL2370 as one of my top options. The colours were deep and rich and the overall performance of this monitor left me very impressed....

    Review Summary: Samsung's SyncMaster XL2370 is a 23in LED backlit display that has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and boasts, according to Samsung, a dynamic contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1

    The Verdict: Our only real criticism is the price. The best price we were able to find online was 318 (277 inc VAT). That's expensive for a 23in display, and we'd question whether the benefits of the XL2370 merit the price tag. However, at the time of writing, the...
