Out of the box, the Samsung SyncMaster 204B TFT-LCD monitor looks aesthetically pleasing and has been designed with a black exterior accented with silver highlights. The SyncMaster 204B measures approximately 17.5" x 16.9" x 7.9" with the stand and has a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200. The LCD has a total viewable image 20.1 inches with a pixel pitch of 0.255mm and contrast ratio of 800:1. For consumers worried about monitor height adjustment, the 204B has a re-tractable base that can be raised or lowered 2-3 feet above the desktop level. The Samsung SyncMaster 204B TFT-LCD includes a very low response time of 5ms (Gray-to-Gray) that produces exceptionally clear digital images without any ghosting. At the base of the unit is a series of small external silver buttons which allow the adjustment of the monitor settings. The buttons offer simple monitor functions including Power ON/OFF, Auto Adjustment, Onscreen Menu, and Brightness/Contrast options.

The Samsung SyncMaster 204B TFT-LCD Monitor has been designed to be low profile when placed on the flat surface of a table. The 204B is attached to a plastic circular base which supports the weight of the unit. The plastic circular base is secured to the 204B via a small screw which resides on the bottom of the LCD. Towards the rear of the unit is a small plastic clip that provides an option for routing cables and keeping cable management to a minimum.

One of the highlights of the SyncMaster 204B TFT-LCD Monitor is the ability to pivot and rotate this monitor into different positions. The viewable portion of the LCD is connected to an adjustable arch which allows consumers to tilt the position of the monitor -5°/+30° degrees. The base of the monitor itself can pivot approximately 90° degrees which allow consumers to switch from standard landscape viewing to full portrait mode. The portrait mode is perfect for reading e-mails, word documents and viewing the entire body of a website. This will be discussed more in detail with the installation of the Magic Rotation software.
