The Samsung Syncmaster 743B LCD/TFT monitor PCSTATS is checking out in this review is clearly oriented towards individuals on a budget who aren't willing to skimp on picture quality. The Syncmaster 743B retails for about $260 CDN ($260USD / £130 GBP), which is a little high compared to the 19" Syncmaster 943B from this family, and comes with nothing that isn't necessary.

There are a lot of no-name 17" LCDs out there at rock bottom prices, but unlike CRT monitors there's more to comparing flat screen display's than screen size alone. The devils are in the specs, as they say. The Samsung Syncmaster 743B offers users a 17" screen with a native resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. The screen has an anti-reflective non-glossy coating, 5ms G-to-G pixel refresh time, and nominal pixel pitch of 0.264mm.
