Samsung has defined style for LCD monitors over the last year or so, and the new Cream Series is no exception.

Superb image quality and design at a good price

Stunning living-room style, great image quality and a price thatwon’t break the bank

Another great-looking Samsung LCD, but picture quality isn’t quite up to the usual standard.

It’s accurate, adjustable and stylish, and the price simply beggars belief. An instant classic

Sleek, stylish and wonderfully vibrant in use, this is the best of the 22in LCDs we’ve seen.

An impressive stand, but quality remains average.

The height-adjustable stand and good image quality make it a worthy rival to the best 20in models.

The design is excellent, but you pay a hefty premium.

A high-quality panel, but it lacks the finishing touches to make it a winner.

A great-quality widescreen panel for a surprisingly low price.

The 930BF started our tests well, narrowly winning the best gaming display in our eye-straining midnight shoot-out.

The SyncMaster 172X from Samsung was a bit of a powerhouse in our tests, scoring highly in all regards except one: surprisingly the monitor was a little over-saturated, meaning whites looked a little washed out, and this would not change regardless of how we tweaked and fiddled with the screen’s settings. However in day-to-day usage you’d barely notice this.

The lightest TFT in our roundup, the Samsung SyncMaster 152T is the priciest screen for under a thousand dollars.

Featuring generous tilt, and incredible viewing angle, Samsung is on to a winner with this well-designed multi-purpose display.

A different screen to the rest on review in this category, the Samsung SyncMaster 172W doesn't have a 4:3 aspect ratio, but is instead a widescreen format display.

The SM181T uses a panel based on Samsung’s own PVA technology. This stands for patterned vertical alignment and increases the viewing angle in the same way as MVA, although Samsung claims a viewing angle of 170 degrees – the same as Super-IPS.

TFT screens are notoriously expensive to manufacture and even more expensive to purchase in comparison to their conventional CRT counterparts.

After a quick scan of every screen in Labs, its clear that the 560V sits at the functional yet minimal end of the scale.

How many acronyms can a monitor have before it chokes on its own resolution? We have all come to expect CRTs, LCDs, TFTs and God knows what else but now Samsung has come up with a monitor with so many acronyms it will leave you gasping.
