The Samsung 730MP is more than just a monitor, it's a multimedia device. It
has TV and FM radio capabilities built in, small integrated speakers, and slot
in module on the side which adds a USB hub and 5 in 1 card reader.
The monitor is very well built and heavy, and the back is populated
with a huge number of sockets. We found that the screen automatically adjusted
itself perfectly, which is a good thing because the OSD is confusing. It comes
with a good quality remote control as well. A rather cool feature is picture-in-picture,
which allows you to watch TV in a small corner of the screen whilst using your
PC. The inclusion of SCART, S-video and composite video inputs mean this screen
has enough connectivity to serve as the hub of a home entertainment system.
However, it is a good PC monitor in its own right, and 17" is a little
small for the front room. This means perhaps it would be better suited to a
small bedroom, where a separate PC and TV would just be too cramped.
At a couple of beer tokens shy of £400 you could buy a very well specified
19" TFT for the same money, but since the Samsung 730 MP is a good quality
monitor in its own right. This is still cheaper than the combined cost of a
monitor and a television, so it is definitely worth it if you want the multimedia
features
