Samsung SyncMaster 305T LCD Monitor Review - CNET

CNET have published a review of the 30-inch Samsung SyncMaster 305T LCD monitor. ‘The biggest selling point for the Samsung SyncMaster 305T is its huge 30-inch screen, which supports a native resolution of 2,560x1,600. To view the screen at this very high resolution, you must have a high-end video card and a dual-link DVI cable. If you use a single link DVI cable or your video card does not support a resolution that high, then the display will output to 1,920x1,440 at its highest. Luckily, Samsung includes a dual link cable.

As far as calibration options are concerned, there is only one. Samsung has included controls for brightness calibration and nothing else. The way it works is when you adjust the brightness, the display's inverter board is being accessed; however, to adjust the color or contrast the panel itself must be accessed. But because of the limits of the large screen technology when the display was manufactured in 2006, directly adjusting the panel is not possible to do on the fly. The contrast and color are calibrated and locked by Samsung at the source before the monitor is shipped.’
