Samsung SyncMaster LD220HD - 22in HDTV Monitor video review

  • More Photos

Anyone who demands flexibility on a small budget should seek out the LD220HD. For £200 it offers truly stunning value, particularly as the performance and attention to detail of the set far outstrips anything you'll see on no-name alternatives. Read full review

Three of the best Budget Monitors

  1. ViewSonic VX2336s-LED

    ViewSonic VX2336s-LED

    Our rating:
    9/10

    The cheapest 23in Full HD IPS monitor we’ve ever reviewed is also one of the best.

  2. AOC i2353Fh 23in IPS LED Monitor

    Our rating:
    9/10

    The world's thinnest IPS monitor also has a budget price. Can this be the best of both worlds?

  3. Philips Blade 2

    Our rating:
    8/10

    A nicely designed 23in IPS monitor with good connectivity and decent image quality.

I'm a bit confused...





I looked online for this and it seems very rare. However, the P2270HD pops up all over the place and seems to be very similar. But to add further bemusement, the P2270HD isn't listed on Samsung's site but the LD220HD is. Did the latter supercede former? If so, what are the differences?

@Aidan





Those damn Samsung model numbers! A million different variations to describe minute changes to the bezel design. The nightmare I had trying to find out the difference between a 650, a 651, a 652, a 653, a 654. Samsung spreads them over every country's version of their website, and every retailer and reviewer ends up labelling them differently.





Here's a spec list from Samsung Germany on an 'LD220HD' (easy enough to make out) :

And here's a spec list to a 'P2270' from Samsung UK :

@Andy Vandervell: You mention that motion can be blurry with panning sequences. Would you not recommend this monitor for first person shooters?

All those connections, and no D-sub for connecting a laptop! Does the DVI port include analogue pin connections so that a D-sub adapter can be used? Seems like a huge oversight if not...

Cheers for the help. The P2270 is the monitor-only version, but I guess it's got the same panel as the P2270HD. It appears that the LD220HD was on sale at Dixons/Currys etc a month or so ago, but now they just have the P2270HD. I can't find it anywhere else, other than on the Continent. Have TR reviewed a product that's not actually on sale in the UK anymore?

@BobaFett: Personally I think it's fine, that particular comment was in reference to videos. It's no worse than any other similar LCD display.

Blur on these Samsungs only occurs in non HD content such as the footy. Gaming wise it will make you happy.





Oh no Samsung have started with the clangers - where is that headphone jack, a sign of awful design and the remote is second most important feature to the screen. For a Sammy fan this shows bad signs.

Come on you guys at TR! What on earth is the point in reviewing a product that is not for sale here in the UK? Surely you check the availability of a product before you review it? Very disappointing!

@PaulW: It is on sale. It appears to be out of stock at the moment but it is on sale.
