The SyncMaster C27A750, a 27-inch affair, uses Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology via a USB dongle to connect to your laptop. It touts a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and sports HDMI, VGA, and USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. The new SyncMaster will hit Europe by the end of April for about €600, but we've yet to hear anything about Central Station's ETA -- very sneaky, Samsung... very sneaky.

South Korea is the unsurprising debut market for the 950 and 750 Series, both 27-inchers, discernible by their design, which in the 950's case is asymmetric and in the 750's is all about the thin bezel. A 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 2ms response time, 1080p resolution, and a litany of input ports await the buyer of either one, but he'd better bring a well-fed wallet to this party -- the 27TA950 reportedly costs 890,000 KRW (nearly $800) whereas the 27TA750 is an 840,000 KRW outlay (just over $750). Not exactly value models, but those prices will likely change when the pair go international at some point later this month.

Most notable is the 24-inch FX2490HD model with integrated TV tuner and inputs in the form of 2x HDMI, D-Sub, and even SCART for Europe -- sorry, no mention of DVI or DisplayPort that we can find. The panel itself sports a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, 5ms response, 1,000:1 contrast, and 250 nits of brightness. Akihabara News adds a few details such as PiP support, a jack for viewing media direct from USB sticks, and support for 7.1 channel Dolby Digital and DTS audio. It should land in the US and Europe as early as this month for around $540.

Seems Samsung set up shop in the heart of London and threw itself a product introduction party! In case the company's new laptop and desktop options didn't tickle your fancy, Sammy's giving you a host of new display options as well. Kicking things off is the June-bound H03, which the company claims is the "world's brightest pico projector" with just 30 ANSI lumens -- too bad we've seen units with far more already. Moving on, there's the new SyncMaster PX2370 LED-backlit LCD monitor, offering up a 16:9 aspect ratio, a Touch of Color design, 2ms response time, VGA / DVI / HDMI inputs and a 1080p native resolution. Bringing up the rear is the 1,000 ANSI lumen LED-based SP-F10M projector and the SyncMaster MD230, the latter of which we saw toying with ATI's Eyefinity solution back at CES. Sadly, no concrete pricing details were made public, but you can peruse the respective press releases just beyond the break.

Update: Samsung pinged us to clarify here -- the H03 can muster 30 ANSI lumens on AC power or battery, whereas the other guys dip below 30 when using battery power. Mystery solved.

Well done Samsung, then, for focusing on the static (or real) contrast ratio of 3,000:1 on its sparkling new F2370H and F2380MX 23-inchers. These are certainly not the first panels to reach that plateau (check the Prad link below showing the Eizo EV2333 achieving 5,000:1 in testing), but let's not argue over PR semantics. They do boast higher contrast than most and both come with 1920 x 1080 resolution and HDMI inputs, while the more professionally oriented 2380 model (see our hands-on here) also boasts height and swivel adjustments along with an extra DVI port. Priced at 397,000 KRW ($350) and 417,000 KRW ($370), the two new SyncMasters are coming to Korea soon and the rest of the world seems an inevitability as well.

Sure, Samsung and ATI have given it their best shot with the new SyncMaster MD230 displays powered by ATI's updated Eyefinity6 tech, but somehow we'll still be hungry for more by the time next year rolls around. Still, the MD230 is pretty wild, with six-screen or three-screen configurations retailing for $3,099 and $1,899 respectively, with each screen running at 2560 x 1600 for a total of 12x the resolution of 1080p across the six displays in total. It obviously takes a brand new ATI card to accomplish this (and a little help from that beefy DisplayPort plug), but we're sure if you're willing to drop $3,099 on your display, you can scrounge up the cash for the GPU. The displays should start shipping early this year.

Well, this is it at 27 inches. How's that for concision? Oh, you want more -- well, Samsung must've expected you to, because it's also added a TV tuner and a HDMI input to its latest Full HD display, to go along with a 5ms response time and a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. There's also a pair of 3 watt stereo speakers that can simulate 5.1 channel sound -- good for emergencies or if you just can't stand speakers cluttering up your desktop. Filling out the goodie bag are Picture In Picture and Picture By Picture modes, which should make good use of the extra real estate on the screen by combining, for example, your desktop with a TV source. The price is set at 549,000 Won (or about $473) for Korea, though global availability looks imminent so don't rush to import it just yet.

It's a simple idea, sure, and it's far from new, but putting an LCD on a telescoping mount offers incredible convenience. As such, this Samsung SyncMaster 80 series professional LCD monitor allows for a more natural secondary display perched directly above your open netbook or can be spun into a portrait orientation for those looking to go vertical. The 80's are available in either 20- (F2080) or 23-inch (F2380) configurations offering a 3000:1 contrast ratio, 178-degree viewing angle, narrow 15-mm bezel, and cover nearly 100% of the RGB color space. Priced in Korea at ₩378,000 (about $287) and ₩457,000 (about $347) when released later this month. See the Sammy pulled into a frontside vert after the break.

Compared to technologies such as Wireless USB, DisplayLink has actually done fairly well for itself. Nah, it's no worldwide phenomenon, but it definitely has enough traction to really shine once USB 3.0's bandwidth arrives. That said, the tech is making the most of its current situation with the introduction of the DL-1x5 Series processors, two of which actually support Full HD. The DL-125, DL-165 and DL-195 will all slide into USB-enabled LCD monitors here shortly, with the middle guy supporting resolutions as high as 1,920 x 1,080 and the DL-195 cranking things to 2,048 x 1,152 before crying "Uncle!" In theory, at least, this enables laptop users to connect high-res screens when their desktop replacement needs a helping hand, and it can be enjoyed now by consumers in Asia, the Middle East, Russia and Europe who can snag themselves a new SyncMaster LapFit LD190G or LD220G monitor.

Taking global climate change as seriously as anyone is these days, Samsung has trotted out a pair of new SyncMaster 70 series monitors, on the green tip. Coming in at your choice of either 20- or 23-inches, the displays sport a 50000:1 contrast ration, 2ms response time, and consume thirty-three percent less energy than previous Sammy outings. No word yet on screen resolution, release date, or price. Don't tell us that you're not a little bit excited. Just a little?

Maingear bills itself as a fine purveyor of "high performance luxury computers," hand built machines such as the Remix workstation (for "creative professionals"), and now Prelude 2, a 3D gaming workstation that features the NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision setup, a 22-inch SyncMaster 2233RZ display, and a desktop PC rocking an Intel Core i7 processor -- all for $1,999 (though were guessing that once you start tweaking things here and there the price can rise pretty quickly). More detailed specs are sadly unavailable at the moment, but if you've been itching to jump on the 3D bandwagon (not that we approve, but whatever) this one is probably worth a look. Full release is after the break.

Update: Feel free to check out the order page over at Maingear's site for all the system's specifications and customization options.

Among the embarrassment of riches that CES has been for Sammy fans thus far, we have several new items available for your consideration. The SyncMaster 930ND is a 19-inch PC-over-IP-enabled display developed with Teradici Corporation that sports four USB connectors, 2-way audio, and DVI-out for a secondary display. For gamers, the 22-inch 2233RZ is an NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision-compatible monitor, due to hit the streets in April for an MSRP of $349. And rounding out the collection, the company has added two more DisplayLink monitors to the mix: the SyncMaster D190SU (19-inch) and D220SU (22-inch). No word on a release date or price for this one, but you'll know as soon as we do.

Samsung's been shipping DisplayLink-equipped displays in its UbiSync line for months now, and now it's got one more headed to consumers. The 22-inch 2243QW comes with a 1,680 x 1,050 native resolution, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 5-millisecond response time, a built-in USB hub and VGA / DVI inputs. 'Course, the signal gets sent over USB, but it's your best guess as to what it'll run. Er, is running, considering that it's shipping now to the US and Europe.

It's missing the nearly iconic glossy black bezel that has become such an expectation on Samsung displays, but the SyncMaster 2494HS would still be welcome at our cluttered work desk. The 23.6-inch panel sports an all-business, matte black motif with a native 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, 300 nits of brightness, a 5-millisecond response time, 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, inbuilt stereo speakers and DVI / VGA / HDMI inputs. The LCD is expected to go on sale in Japan next month for around ¥40,000 ($423), but if we were the betting type (an we're not), we'd expect it to roll onto fresh, moist US soil in due time.

At this point, the whole subtly curvaceous / glossy black motif on the SyncMaster line has become a tad unexciting, but we suppose it still gets the job done. Today, Samsung has unleashed five new ones to chew on, and if you weren't an expert on spotting differences in dimensions, you'd have a tough time telling them apart. For starters, we've got the 15.6-inch SyncMaster 633NW and 18.5-inch 933SN, both of which get stuck with just a VGA port and a 1,360 x 768 resolution. Movin' on up, we see the 20-inch 2033SW (1,600 x 900) and 21.5-inch 2233SW / 23-inch 2333SW (1,920 x 1,080), all of which tout a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 5-millisecond response time, 170-degree viewing angles, DVI / VGA inputs and 300 cd / m2 brightness. Expect the whole lot to show up in Japan within the next month for ¥18,000 ($187) to ¥30,000 ($312).

You think it's impossible to have more fun than we already do at Engadget, and then Samsung goes and releases some new displays. Case in point: the CX-2233GW. This 22-inch LCD monitor boasts 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 1,000:1 contrast ratio (capable of being boosted to 20,000:1), five-millisecond response time and an HDCP-compliant DVI port. Sure, we've seen it all before in the SyncMaster line... perhaps we can count on major dip in the price? Stranger things have happened. The display will be available (soon!) in Korea for something under €200 (about $265).

What's that, you ask? No, it's not a miniaturized version of Samsung's LN40650T HDTV. Rather, it's the firm's 19-inch 953BW -- the oh-so-sexy $239 addition to its SyncMaster lineup. Said monitor boasts a 1,440 x 900 resolution, 300 cd/m2 brightness and a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and it's joined by the 20-inch 2053BW ($299), 22-inch 2253LW ($319) and 22-inch 2253BW ($349), all of which feature a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution and two-millisecond response time. Each unit also possesses an HDCP-compliant DVI port, intelligent MagicColor controls and a piano-black glossy finish that you'll likely have a hard time keeping free of dust and fingerprints. The best news, however, is that the whole lot is available right now.

Just in case Samsung's slate of new T-series LCDs weren't enough for you, the outfit is also introducing five new commercial desktop displays for under $400. The SyncMaster 743BX ($239), 943BX ($279), 943BWX ($269), 2043BWX ($309) and 2243BWX ($359) range from 17- to 22-inches in size and all provide a height adjustable stand, an ultra-slim (15-millimeter) bezel and a dynamic contrast ratio of up to 8,000:1. You'll also find an HDCP-compliant DVI port, the firm's own MagicColor technology to "enhance color automatically for areas that need color correction," and a suite of touch-sensitive controls to boot. The whole lot even comes with a three-year warranty and can be had for your office right now.

While we found Samsung's IT solutions emphasis here at CeBIT a bit of a yawn -- when executive gets up and tells you that printers are his "personal passion," you know you're in for a wild ride -- we are glad to see that the company is sticking some of its consumer design cues into its business products. Case in point, the T-series LCDs borrow from the "crystal" style elements of the Bordeaux series, but pack in some business-friendly specifications. The SyncMaster T260 is the flagship of the series, with 26-inches of real estate, 1920 x 1200 resolution, 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 5ms response time and a DTV tuner option, while the similar T240 hits at 24-inches and brings 0.3 Watts standby power. Inputs include DVI and HDMI and D-sub. More basic displays start at 19-inches, multiple color accent options are available, and everything will be available globally in March.

There's displays made for digital signage, and then there's Samsung's SyncMaster 820DXn. Put simply, there's no commercial screen we'd rather have sitting in our living room, and while we doubt many would go for it, the specs here are pretty impressive. Outside of the expansive 82-inch 1,920 x 1,080 resolution S-PVA panel, you'll find 178-degree viewing angles, a 5,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, "ultra-high" brightness levels, eight-millisecond response time and the firm's own DNIe PRO image enhancement technology. It also includes built-in fans for extended usage along with an integrated PC consisting of an 1.8GHz Athlon64 X2 3400+ CPU, 4GB of flash storage, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, an ATI graphics set and Windows XP to boot. Granted, this thing was designed with luring customers in mind, and given the lofty $76,999 price tag, we don't expect it to do much else.

Believe it or not, Samsung took the opportunity to unveil a couple of newcomers at Macworld, proving that there was indeed something left in the tank after CES. And on paper, this pair is one to be reckoned with. Up first is the 24-inch SyncMaster 2493HM, which features a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, 10,000:1 (dynamic) contrast ratio, five-millisecond response time, 400 cd/m2 brightness, 160-degree viewing angles and DVI / HDMI inputs to boot. As for the 25.5-inch 2693HM, it mimics its smaller sibling in most every way, but does include a VGA input and steps the dynamic contrast ratio down to 3,000:1. Both units also include built-in multimedia speakers and stunning good looks, and best of all, they can become yours right this moment for $599 and $699, respectively.

Truth be told, all we really know about the forthcoming SyncMaster 2263DX is that it features a 22-inch panel and can be connected via USB 2.0 rather than DVI / VGA. But hey, that alone is plenty to keep us satisfied for a month or so -- but after the grace period expires, we've every intention of sifting through hidden lines of code in Sammy's website in a desperate attempt to locate a price and release date.

We've got all ideas that folks fully expecting Samsung's SyncMaster 245T to ship way back in March have moved on and purchased another monitor by now, but for the loyal few that are still clinging to a sliver of hope that this thing isn't vaporware, we've got outstanding news. Some ten months (to the day, actually) after its unveiling, this 24-incher is finally ready to rock, and it'll be coming to those still interested with a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution PVA panel, 1,500:1 contrast ratio, six-millisecond response time, Motion Picture Acceleration (MPA) backlight scanning technology, 178-degree viewing angles and a four-port USB 2.0 hub for good measure. As for the port selection, you'll find HDMI, S-Video, component, DVI and VGA connectors, and with any luck, you can score one now for $799.99.

While they already look to have made their way to a number of retailers unannounced, Samsung has just now gotten official with the three latest additions to its SyncMaster line, including two 19-inch models and a 22-incher. On the 19-inch front, the 920BM opts for the old school aspect ratio and a 1280 x 1024 resolution, while the 920WM goes 16:10 with a 1440 x 900 resolution. Sure to attract more interest than either of those, however, is the 22-inch 2220WM model, which will give you a 1680 x 1050 resolution and a decent 1,000:1 contrast ratio. All three also boast a 5 ms response time, and some built-in speakers, which at the very least don't seem to be too obtrusive. If that'll do, you can grab any one of 'em now for between $220 and $350.

Gateway isn't the only company out there cranking out a new display today -- oh no, Samsung's getting in on the action, too. The 19-inch SyncMaster 942BW won't make any jaws drop, but it does feature a 1,440 x 900 resolution, five-millisecond response time, 500:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, a height-adjustable stand and an HDCP-compliant DVI port. If you've managed to not doze off yet, you may be interested in knowing that the display is available now for $249.99, but don't expect it to change your life or anything.

Samsung's latest 19-inch LCD monitor is about as ho hum as they come, but its got a stylistic flair (okay, so we're suckers for that silver accent) that makes us want one anyway. The SyncMaster 931BW sports a 16:10 widescreen panel, WXGA+ (1,440 x 900) resolution, a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 170-degree viewing angles and a lightning-quick two-millisecond response time. You'll also find an HDCP-compliant DVI port alongside the obligatory VGA input, and while pricing details don't seem to be readily available, it should be hitting Japanese shops late next month.

UPDATE: Seems like this thing has made the rounds in certain locales -- guess it's just about Japan's turn.

First unveiled back at CES and then again at CeBIT, Samsung is back again with their SyncMaster LCDs with built-in VoIP. The 220TN features a 5ms refresh, 1680 x 1050 resolution, 10/100Mbps Ethernet, 4x USB, 2 megapixel webcam, mic, speaker and an embedded VoIP app allowing it to make voice and video calls without the help of a running PC. In fact, you'll find a 500MHz Geode LX800 processor running WinXP embedded behind that 22-inch panel. Think their VoiP-enabled 220UW only without the Skype compatibility. Fine, but we're still not any clearer as to when we'll actually be able to purchase one.

While the most recent LCDs to emerge from Samsung's laboratories have been of the, um, gigantic variety, the firm's latest duo caters to the desk dwellers rather than the AV junkies. The 20-inch SyncMaster CX2032GW/BW models and 22-inch SyncMaster CX2232GW/BWs each consist of a widescreen Magic Clear panel (no word on resolution, however), and are designed with an "elastomer material which enables users to adjust the angles in any way they feel comfortable with." These aptly-nicknamed "Swan" displays should be available in Korea real soon, and while the 20-incher will demand ?368,000 ($399), the slightly larger sibling will run you a modest ?437,000 ($475).

Beating the rest of the field to the punch, Samsung dropped the SyncMaster 225U today, the first official product designed to interface with Microsoft's Office Communicator 2007 IM / VoIP / PBX "unified communications" suite we saw unveiled in beta form just a couple days ago. The 22-inch monitor has a pretty average panel -- 1680 x 1050 resolution, 5ms response time, a 700:1 contrast ratio, and just 300 nits of brightness -- but the real noise is in the built-in 2.0 megapixel webcam, microphone, and stereo speakers, which plug into the Communicator software and then serve as a replacement for that bulky deskphone in your office. No word yet on pricing or availability, but expect to see a slew of Communicator products in the future.

Update: Samsung PR tell us that the SyncMaster 225U will be available in June for $449.

We already knew that Samsung had a 19-inch SyncMaster 940UX ready for display at CeBIT. We also knew that it connected via USB (with appropriate drivers), no graphics card required. So what's new then? Well, Samsung is now telling us that their newly dubbed UbiSync technology will allow for up to 6 -- not a mere "3 or 5" -- of their 19-inch displays to wrap their loving arms around you when daisy-chained from a single USB port on your PC. It can also apparently be configured such that each monitor has it's own USB cable-run back to the PC. The dis/advantages of the two approaches could be not be easily explained by the rep at the booth. However, he did tell us that a rig equipped with 2GB of RAM and a dual-core processor running at 2GHz can easily support up to 6 displays showing pictures "with a little video" -- in other words: a couple of Flash videos (not 6x DivX rips) along side your Office applications. Fortunately for you, the May release date means an early start to your summer freckling.

After DisplayLink hit us up with a cordless monitor care of Wireless USB, things really can't get much simpler for connecting LCDs with PC towers, but for those not quite ready to jump into all that, Samsung is reportedly readying a USB-only monitor that'll be showcased at CeBIT. Yep, according to reports, the 19-inch SyncMaster 940UX will be axing the DVI and VGA inputs in favor of a USB 2.0 connector, which means you can finally do away with those flakey USB to VGA adapters of days past. Slated for a May release, the display should sync up with Windows XP initially, with Vista drivers (no OS X love?) to follow shortly thereafter. No other details regarding contrast ratio, resolution, or whether a 0.25-page installation manual will be included is currently available, and more importantly, we're not so sure how your CPU is going to feel about its newfangled processing duties when you plug this sucka in. Still, Samsung claims between "three and five" of these monitors can be plugged in and used at any given time based on the amount of processing requirements your applications have, but the real question is how quickly can ATI / NVIDIA can crank out a next-generation GPU with USB 2.0 outputs, eh?

If you're a fan of Samsung's black lacquer, piano finish then be sure to check their new line-up of SyncMaster LCD monitors. Announced in 20-inch (CX206BW) and 22-inch (CX226BW) models, both deliver a 3000:1 contrast ratio and lickity-quick 2ms response time. Resolution? Not announced, but like all the other 22-inchers out there, it's safe to say that this one (pictured) likely sports that ubiquitous 1680x1050 pixel resolution. Besides, given the way Sammy likes to toss the "Full HD" buzz-phrase around, maybe it's best they just keep quiet on the matter, eh? Apparently, these are the "Windows Vista Premium certified," slabs we heard were coming. In other words, they include at least one HDCP-enabled DVI input around back just like most newer monitors sold (only without all the hubbub). In Korea, these will set you back 370,000KRW ($399) for the CX206BW or 439,000KRW ($473) for CX226BW -- chunky bezels: free.

All three displays have some pretty interesting features, starting with the 720TD which we saw at CES with its pen-based input action. It's not an actual touchscreen, since you need the stylus to get anything done, but if our previous viewing is any indication, the LCD should be going for a lot less than its touchscreen counterparts. The display also manages a 1,280 x 1,024 resolution, 270 nits of brightness, 700:1 contrast ratio and a 8ms response time. Next up, we have the 711ND, which packs in Windows CE, 128MB of RAM, 128MB of ROM and an Ethernet port for running Internet Explorer, viewing media and connecting a network, all sans PC. As for monitor specs, they aren't incredibly exciting, with 300 nits of brightness, but a mere 600:1 contrast ratio. Lastly, the XL20 packs in possibly the most lovable spec of all: an LED backlight, boosting the contrast ratio to 1,000:1, though the 250 nits of brightness and 8ms aren't quite as exciting as we would hope for from an LED display. The monitor also boasts of a 1,600 x 1,200 resolution, and both DVI-D and DVI-I ports. Unfortunately, there's no word on price or exact availability for any of these displays, and no mention yet of a US launch, but we'll keep a look out. Keep reading for pics of the other two displays.

As impressive as that may or may not be, the CX930B's other specs are pretty sweet any way you slice them, with a fast 2 ms response time and deep 2,000:1 contrast ratio. The display also includes a "print view" feature, which works in conjunction with your printer, supposedly giving you an accurate preview of what a printed page will look like. It should be available later this year, in Korea at least, for about $430 US. Now, just give us a 24-inch widescreen version and we're sold.

At 1680 x 1050, the resolution is average, even for smaller 20-inch models, but the expanded range of physical adjustability and a bevy of connection options, including DVI, D-SUB, component video and S-Video can at least make up for the expectedly terrible performance of the integrated speakers. Other specs, like an 8ms response time, PIP, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 178-degree viewing angle and the MagicBright technology, which helps it adapt to any environment, push the 215TW to a slightly higher level --  and price point (£469.98) -- than the slew of other 21-inch LCDs out there.
