After reviewing Samsung's elegant 17" SyncMaster 173P monitor, we turn to a much more mammoth display for today's review. Meet Samsung's 21.3" SyncMaster 213T LCD monitor. Sporting a smooth silver color, this giant is impressive before you even turn it on. The box it comes in is about the size of a big luggage case fit to hold a couple weeks worth of clothes. The 213T comes with a max resolution of 1600x1200 @ 60 Hz which is a must for extreme gamers. Most modern day LCD monitors only support up to 1280x1024 which can be frustrating for a gamer that wants to let their X800 or 6800 shine. Like the 173P, the 213T is sporting Samsung's Patterned Vertical Alignment (PVA) technology - "the latest advancement in liquid crystal cell structure for improved viewing".
