Samsung unleashes swarm of new LCD monitors

Samsung has gone on a new monitor free-for-all today, unleashing no less than 16 new displays for the consumer and professional markets. We'll ignore the business-oriented models and instead concentrate on those designed for home use and gaming, which include the following SyncMaster units: 19-inch 970P (1280 x 1024 resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio,
$549), 19-inch 940MW (widescreen 1440 x 900, 700:1, HDTV-ready, analog TV and FM tuners, PIP and PBP, $699), 17-inch 740BF (1280 x 1024, 700:1, 4ms response time, $399) and 19-inch  940BF (1280 x 1024, 700:1, 4ms, $499), and 21-inch 214T (1600 x 1200, 900:1, $859) and 24-inch 244T (widescreen 1920 x 1200, 1000:1, $1699). All of the models incorporate some or all of Samsung's growing line of "Magic" color and feature-tweaking options, which now reads like a veritable David Copperfield program guide: MagicTune, MagicStand, MagicRotation, MagicSpeed, MagicBrightII, MagicColor,
MagicContrast and MagicZone, and all are shipping immediately.
