Samsung SyncMaster 305T 30in Monitor

Samsung tops its already impressive widescreen monitor range with the 30in 305T.

Samsung has built a strong reputation for itself when it comes to widescreen monitors, from the superb 215TW and 226BW, to the equally impressive 244T. Now the Korean giant has topped an already impressive range with the SyncMaster 305T.

Samsung 305T review

Stepping up to 30 inches involves more than just a leap in screen size and pixel resolution. The Samsung 305T, like all other similarly sized TFT displays, is a rather different beast to many of the 22in or 24in monitors you may be used to.

The Samsung 305T offers excellent, professional build quality and comes with four USB ports and an ergonomic height-adjustable stand. With an RRP of £1,300 this is certainly a pricey peripheral, but if you search around you can find it on sale for less...

Samsung SyncMaster 305T 30in display

The Samsung SyncMaster 305T is a 30in display that has first-rate image quality overall, although colours looked slightly dull in some photos.

At around £1,300, the Samsung SyncMaster 305T is certainly pricey, but it falls well within the range of what other 30in LCDs cost. If you seek a monitor on which to spread out and see lots of documents at once, the Samsung SyncMaster 305T would be a...

Samsung 305T review

Samsung's 305T joins the small but select group of huge 30in widescreen monitors - a well-made high-quality panel with excellent colour reproduction.

Good colour range, S-PVA means wide viewing angles

Not many adjustment controls, expensive

Samsung SyncMaster 305T

This 30-inch display has first-rate image quality overall, though colours looked slightly dull in some photos.

Excellent text and graphics

Does not include OSD controls

Samsung's SyncMaster 305T is pricey, but it's within the range of what other 30in LCDs cost. If you seek a monitor on which to spread out and see lots of documents at once, the 305T would be a fine choice.

Samsung SyncMaster 305T LCD Monitor review: Samsung SyncMaster 305T LCD Monitor

Samsung SyncMaster 305T LCD Monitor

Great performance in color and sharpness; amazing viewing angle; Blu-ray and DVD image quality is some of the best we've seen.

Limited video connection options; includes only brightness controls (thanks to technical limitations); streaking apparent in DisplayMate test.

Thanks to its incredible viewing angle, high resolution, and stellar overall picture quality, Samsung's 30-inch SyncMaster 305T gets an assured recommendation.
