Samsung SyncMaster 192T: A New Look for 19'' LCDs

We have been very happy with how simple and clean Samsung’s OSDs are, but we have not seen much evolution with their controls in recent months.

As you can see, the On Screen Display looks very much the same it did two years ago. Tried and true continues to work for Samsung, so we won’t be too critical about their look. However, with all of the experience Samsung has in the mobile industry, it would be nice to see an upgrade here or there.

Basic operation of the OSD consists of six buttons, not unlike the 191T. The Auto adjust button does exactly that, automatically adjusting the screen. While using the DVI connector this function has been disabled, but we haven’t seen an occurrence when we needed it over DVI. The Input select and MagicBright options can both be accessed with one touch rather than going through the OSD.

We will briefly touch on the fact that the DVI connection does not disable any options other than position and color temperature. We have mentioned in the past that the color temperature should only be adjusted on the software side anyway, but we will get into this more during our Color Vision Spyder test.

OMG...people i need help. I live in Montreal, Canada and i really i want to buy this monitor but wherever i go they only offer me the 191T+ and i want the 192T ! One bcz it looks so kewl and second because it's better then the 191T. What's the difference between 191t+ and 192T except the look and the speakers?

The VX900 is an awful monitor. I feel sorry for your horrible experience. To go from a 192T to a VX900 is like going from an audi s8 to a honda civic.Anonymous User - Monday, July 28, 2003 - link
I just to say that I bought one of these monitors. I liked it, but when I took it home and connected it, there they were, I got burnt pixels right out of the box. I returned it and got another. The same thing happened again. As a matter of fact, I ended up returning it four times. I payed $750 and I don't think that for that amount I should be dealing with these problems. I contacted Samsung and was told that they had not experienced any problems, but I did, four times! That's too bad because the monitor was really nice looking. I ended up buying the ViewSonic VX900. I must say that I've had no problems of any kind. I don't know if I made the right choice, but I'm very happy with my choice. Thanks.Anonymous User - Sunday, July 20, 2003 - link

I have this monitor and it is still awesome and going strong 10 years later. Color is fantastic and still beats any TN panels out there. Great looking too. I am finally in the market for a 24" though :)
