Samsung P2370HD 23-inch Multi-function LCD Monitor Review

[ad#review1044-top]When I was asked to take a look at a couple of Samsung LCD monitors, as usual I jumped on whichever one was the larger size. In this case it would be the Samsung P2370HD though when I received it a few days later little did I realize at the time that this particular monitor would be a HDTV, bonus right?

Over the course of my computer experience I have always enjoyed using and looking at Samsung LCD monitors. I have always found that they produce a bright, sharp and vivid display without having to break the bank and I was looking forward to test driving the P2370HD to see if Samsung has been keeping up with its quality for well built displays.

Features and Specifications

What comes in the box?

The one thing I noticed right away before I even got to the monitor when I opened the box was that Samsung included an HDMI cable. I would have thought that would be something someone would have to go out and purchase separately so it is really nice to know that Samsung has included this.

Along with the HDMI cable is the LCD monitor itself, the base, AC power cable, remote control (batteries are included), and the user guide on CD.

The only assembly required is attaching the base to the monitor, which is simple and easy to do. Just make sure you attached the neck of the stand to the monitor and then plunk it down into the base and screw securely. Don’t worry; tools are not needed at all.
