Samsung's technology lags on performance here

ZoomZoom

Lag. It's a small word. But it's a big problem for this otherwise rather awesome 24-inch monitor. It's utterly baffling that a company like Samsung considers the 50ms of input lag this display suffers from to be acceptable.

It's an absolute killer as far as gaming is concerned. Hair trigger shooters like Counter-Strike are rendered unplayable. It even makes simple desktop duties feel sluggish.

Based on PVA technology, the 244T's image quality is wonderfully deep and crisp and even. Flawless backlighting, inky blacks and excellent pixel response are just a few of the highlights. Factor in the massive range of connection options and you have a winner...almost.
