When it comes to displays, I have always had
the highest respect from those manufactured by Samsung. Despite what you may
read online from a number of uneducated consumers, you should
always have Samsung at the top of your list when it comes down to just about
any display...whether a TV or PC monitor. I can't stress this enough
and the only way to somewhat offer some proof, other than my professional
opinion, is to do the research on your own and take the time to see them in
person. I'm sure you won't be
disappointed. Moving forward, I happen to be one of those rare few who
have been so accustomed to 4:3 displays, that I just couldn't find myself
finally adapting to a widescreen display even after a few brave attempts. That's where the unique Samsung 2343BWX comes
into play. Sporting an impressive design you'd expect from Samsung and
a remarkably high native resolution of 2048x1152, this inexpensive display
is simply worth every penny.

This display ships in the simple but indistinguishable box that is
surprisingly light as I will elaborate further. Included with the
display is the base/stand, VGA cable, DVI cable, manual, software disc and a
handy cleaning cloth to maintain that glossy black finish.
Before getting to the review, it's important
to cover what it is that sets this display apart from a variety of other
options. The Samsung 2343BWX is a high density resolution display that
has a breathtaking native resolution of 2048x1152. Its picture
quality is superb and for those planning on purchasing it, ensure you have a
decent video card to support it.
There are many additional features that make
this display an excellent option as well. I will cover these in detail in the
Performance section of this review. However, below are the full
official specs...
