The Samsung SyncMaster 211MP TFT-LCD Monitor has a series of small circular external silver buttons which are hidden by a protective cover and allow the adjustment of the monitor settings. The buttons are touch sensitive and easy to activate by lightly tapping them with your finger. Samsung has expanded the amount of menu options to compliment the multimedia features built into the 211MP. From left to right are selectable options for adjusting or toggling Video Sources, Picture-In-Picture, Picture-By-Picture, Onscreen Menu, Channel Selection, Volume Adjustment, Auto Tuning and Power.

The multimedia aspect of the Samsung SyncMaster 211MP TFT-LCD Monitor really comes to light when the unit is flipped on its rear to reveal a multitude of ports. On the left side of the 211MP are DC Power, Audio PC Speaker connection and PC VGA-In (15-pin connector). Towards the middle of the unit are Internal Speaker, External Left/Right Speaker, and RCA composite for S-Video, Composite Video, and Left/Right Audio. The S-Video port can be used an alternative source to standard VGA, which makes this unit perfect for dual monitor display setups provided that your video card supports this feature.

Towards the right of the unit is yet another set of ports which consist of "Y", "Pb", "Pr" ports, Left/Right Audio for DTV set-top box and standard DVD use. These functions are mainly in place for consumers who have access to a digital terminal receiver and standard external DVD player. The last feature to be incorporated into the Samsung SyncMaster 211MP TFT-LCD Monitor is the inclusion of a built-in TV Tuner. The TV Tuner module attaches to a standard CATV cable or antenna terminal, supports NTSC and has a maximum of 128 channels.
