MODTHEBOX would like to thank Sungmin from Samsung Canada
for sending the SyncMaster 211MP TFT-LCD Monitor for review.
Introduction:
The high-end consumer market provides unique opportunities for enthusiasts to experience the best in
home theatre and multimedia applications. The popularity of the HTPC concept has simplified the process
of adding a PC into an existing home theatre configuration. Small Form Factor PC's offer great performance
balanced with standard computing functions. In the past where consumers were reliant of home electronic
components for the home theatre experience, the SFF PC has been able to duplicate the same functions at
half the cost using off the shelf parts. Samsung Electronics is one of the top-ten electronics manufacturers
in the world and an acknowledged leader in the digital convergence revolution. The company has been marketing
its popular SyncMaster line of high performance monitors for the last several years. In order to capitalize
the growing HTPC market, the company has recently released a series of stylish multimedia TFT-LCD monitors
which offer multiple functions built into an all-in-one solution. Today in the MTB Labs, we will be evaluating
the impressive SyncMaster 211MP TFT-LCD, a product that offers a complete multimedia solution in one all
inclusive package.
