Design, HDMI, 5ms response time, minimal trailing and ghosting during gaming, excellent colour and contrast

Touch-sensitive buttons lack a backlight, speakers are mediocre, vertical viewing angles could be improved

With HDMI, excellent colour and contrast and a nice design, the SyncMaster 2693 is a great all-round performer. Highly recommended.

Samsung 2693HM review

The Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM is a 25.5-inch LCD monitor that can be found online for as little as $444. It boasts a pleasing aesthetic, good performance, especially for movies, in the warm preset, and includes 360-degree rotation and 90-degree...

Very good performance, especially for movies; 360-degree rotation; unique buttonless OSD design; good price for such a large screen.

Flimsy, hollow plastic in back; cannot see or feel the OSD in dark; bad viewing angle from the bottom; overcalibrated "Cool" temperature setting.

The Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM proved itself to be an excellent overall performer, particularly during movie playback, and can be had for a fair price. Only a flimsy stand, an overcalibrated color-temperature setting, and a poor lower viewing angle...

Samsung SM2693HM

Screen size, quality of picture.

The controls are really difficult to see in the dark as they are not real buttons they are smooth like a touchpad. Also at resolutions less than full HD the monitor comes up with a warning sign which is quite annoying.
