Trusted Reviews reviewed the Samsung SyncMaster 244T - a high-specification TFT monitor with a 24in widescreen panel:

Despite the 244T sporting a 6ms response time, Samsung hasn't degraded the image quality by using a 6-bit panel. Many of the low response time monitors available employ 6-bit panels to help achieve the faster switching, but the 244T uses an 8-bit panel, so it can produce the full 16.7 million True Colour gamut. Considering that a high resolution screen like this is ideal for image editing, the last thing you would want is a reduced bit depth, but the fact that Samsung has still achieved a very low response time means that the 244T is great for games and movies too. Of course the 6ms rating is a grey to grey measurement rather than off-on-off, but to be fair, pretty much every manufacturer quotes grey to grey times these days.

The SyncMaster 244T is the best high resolution LCD monitor I've seen at a great price. Yes, if you are VERY serious about image editing, you'll probably look at a monitor like the Eizo ColorEdge CG220 or the NEC SpectraView Reference 21, but you'll be paying over three times as much for either of these. For all but professional image editors that demand a colour calibrated display, the 244T is ideal for Photoshop work.

The resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 is as high as you can go with a single-link graphics card, and that should be more than enough for most users. If you have a fast enough PC, gaming on this screen is an absolute joy. But if you're like me and have loads of Windows open during your working day, you'll love the desktop real estate that the 244T gives you. Basically a fantastic all-rounder at a great price
