Samsung 305T Display
Apple and Dell are receiving a new competitor in the still small 30-inch display arena courtesy of long-time monitor producer Samsung. The new SyncMaster 305T is the company's first high-resolution computer display larger than 24 inches, and shares the same sharp 2560x1600 resolution of earlier rivals. Samsung promises a 1000:1 contrast ratio superior to that of Apple's 30-inch Cinema HD Display (which nets 700:1), a similar 400 cd/m² brightness, and a 6ms gray-to-gray pixel response time. Connections are kept minimal on the new display with one dual-link DVI port for video input and four free USB 2.0 ports to attach peripherals. The 305T is expected to ship in November for $1999.
