On the up-side, it should be significantly cheaper. Unfortunately, this means the T220HD won’t be able to display Full HD signals without down-scaling. Typically, the move down to 22 inches also sees a drop in resolution to 1,680 x 1,050, but 22in models sporting 1,920 x 1,200 are starting to trickle out (we have a review of one coming soon). The T240HD did fairly well, so let’s see if its smaller sibling can hold up. Actually, it’s not even the first TV/monitor from Samsung’s recent ‘Touch of Colour’ range that we’ve reviewed, as Andy looked at its 24in cousin, the Samsung SyncMaster T240HD, only a while ago. For instance, LG’s Flatron M2294D was a stunning recent example, while Hyundai’s BlueH HM22D offered decent value despite its disappointing design. This isn’t the only LCD TV/monitor we’ve looked at. So, if you don’t have the room or the budget for both, why not get something that combines the two? Today we’re looking at what might well be the ideal candidate Samsung’s SyncMaster T220HD.



A lot of this is understandably about saving cost and space, and where could both of these be more applicable than with the displays we use? Televisions and computer monitors are some of the biggest and often most expensive items in the digital home, and – especially where entertainment is concerned – often fulfil similar duties. We’re in a digital age where convergence continues to play an important role.
