Samsung Syncmaster 152T 15inch TFT LCD Display - PCSTATS
The display is so thin that it at first appears as though a notebook has mistakenly been left in the carton.

Final Conclusions

Synopsis

It is wise to remember that a 15" LCD display is comparable to that of a 17" CRT in viewable screen size. So while a 15" CRT is definitely out of the question today, a 15" LCD operates at 1024x768 resolution - more than enough for web surfing and day-to-day computing.

The list of features accompanying the Samsung 152T are pretty light; apart for a collapsing stand, wall mounting capabilities and integrated cable ports at the base there really isn't anything in the way of "features." That is one of the reasons we actually like the 152T.

Without shoddy integrated sound, or other questionable "add-on's" the only way to gauge the value of the display is to look at the LCD specs. Blasting out a brightness of 350 cd/m2 and a contrast rating of 450:1 the 152T certainly seems like it has all the bases covered well. Examining the spec sheet more closely we will note the 25ms pixel response time, and 0.297mm dot pitch (standard for this screen size and resolution).

Drawing 32W and weighing in at 2.9kg the Samsung 152T is a lightweight 15" LCD display that comes in thin, ever so cute, and immanently portable. Granted, most of us will be gunning for the 17" or 18.1" LCD out of sheer lust.

However for those looking for something which doesn't take up too much space, and that frankly follows well in the footsteps of the F.A. Porsche Design 171P, the 152T offers a lot to look up to. This is a really nicely designed 15" LCD display for people looking for a 15" LCD. In that it sense it serves its purpose very well, with excellent screen characteristics (barring maybe the somewhat shallow vertical viewing angles) and grace.

Do you think this 15" LCD display is too small or just right? Visit the forums and speak your own mind.
