Samsung SyncMaster BX2440
Overview
The Samsung SyncMaster BX2440 is a 24-inch, 16:9 widescreen monitor designed as a budget-friendly everyday display. It offers a Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution on a TN-panel, a 60Hz refresh rate and a 5ms grey-to-grey response time — a straightforward choice for general productivity, web browsing and multimedia.
Panel and performance
This model uses a TN (Twisted Nematic) LCD which delivers fast pixel response and very low input lag compared with older IPS variants of the same era. Typical characteristics include a 5ms GTG response that keeps motion blur and ghosting to a minimum for casual video and gaming, a typical static contrast ratio around 1000:1 and brightness in the ~200–250 cd/m² range. Note TN panels trade wider viewing angles and colour accuracy for speed — expect narrower vertical viewing angles and less saturated colours than modern IPS or VA panels. At 24" with 1920x1080 the pixel density is roughly 92 PPI, which gives sharp text and UI elements for office work and full HD video playback.
Practical use cases
At 1080p and 60Hz the BX2440 suits daily office productivity (spreadsheets, email, document editing), web browsing and watching Full HD video. The 5ms response time makes it perfectly fine for casual and older competitive gaming titles, but it is not aimed at high-refresh esports where 120–240Hz panels shine. Colour-critical tasks like professional photo editing or print-proofing are not ideal on this TN panel — for accurate colour work an IPS or calibrated monitor is recommended.

Samsung S27C350H 27" Full HD LED (1920 x 1080) Glossy Monitor
Overview
The Samsung S27C350H is a 27-inch Full HD monitor with a 1920 x 1080 resolution and LED backlight in a glossy finish. At 27", Full HD maps to roughly 2,073,600 pixels and a pixel density of about 81.6 PPI — delivering large screen real estate with readable text and punchy video playback at native 1080p.
Real‑world performance and panel characteristics
The LED backlight gives the panel a thin profile and energy-efficient illumination compared with older CCFL designs. The glossy coating increases perceived contrast and colour pop, which makes streaming video and games look vivid, but it will show reflections in bright rooms—so position the monitor away from direct light sources for the best results. At native 1920x1080 the panel is well suited to 1080p video playback and console gaming at 60Hz; text and UI elements are sized comfortably on a 27" screen, though sharper 1440p or 4K panels are better if you need very fine detail or more desktop working space.
Practical use cases
This screen is ideal for everyday office work, web browsing, spreadsheets and watching Full HD movies where the monitor displays 1:1 pixel mapping for crisp 1080p video. Gamers using consoles or mid-range PCs will find the native resolution a good match for smooth 60Hz performance without demanding top-tier GPU power. It also works well as a second display in a multi-monitor setup. For colour-critical photo or print work, a higher-end panel with a matte finish and factory colour calibration is recommended, as glossy finishes and consumer LED panels can exaggerate saturation and be less consistent than professional IPS/VA colour-grade monitors.
Specs summary
- Screen size: 27-inch
- Resolution: Full HD 1920 x 1080 (≈2,073,600 pixels)
- Backlight: LED (energy-efficient, slim profile)
- Finish: Glossy screen surface (punchy colours, reflective)
- Typical refresh: 60Hz (matches most desktop and console usage)
Who this monitor is best suited for
Best for home and office users who want a large 27" screen for productivity, streaming and 1080p gaming without the higher cost of 1440p/4K panels. Also a sensible choice for budget-conscious gamers on consoles or mid-range PCs and anyone wanting a vivid, space-filling display for media consumption rather than colour-critical professional work.
