Samsung 943BW — 19-Inch 1440x900 Widescreen LCD Monitor

The Samsung 943BW is a 19-inch widescreen LCD monitor with a 1440x900 WXGA+ resolution — the widescreen variant of the 943 series (not to be confused with the 943B which is a 4:3 1280x1024 monitor). Featuring Samsung's MagicBright technology and a VGA input, it's a solid secondary display for office workstations. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

• 19-inch widescreen panel: 1440x900 WXGA+ resolution in a 16:10 widescreen format — wider than the 4:3 943B
• Samsung MagicBright: Preset display modes optimised for text, internet, game, and movie content
• Space-efficient form factor: Compact 19-inch footprint suits tight desks and secondary monitor positions
• Reliable office display: Samsung business-class LCD built for all-day office use
• Ergonomic stand: Tilt adjustment for comfortable viewing angle setup
• Low power consumption: Energy-efficient LCD panel suitable for continuous operation

Performance in Use

The Samsung 943BW is a dependable widescreen office monitor at the 19-inch size point. The 1440x900 resolution provides more horizontal working space than a 4:3 monitor at this size — useful for side-by-side document viewing, spreadsheets, and coding environments. It is a practical choice as a secondary display alongside a primary monitor, or as a standalone display for reception desks and low-demand workstations.

Samsung's MagicBright technology offers preset brightness profiles for different content types — the text mode reduces eye strain during long document sessions, while the dynamic contrast helps with image-heavy tasks. The VGA input ensures broad compatibility with virtually any desktop PC, laptop, or thin client with a VGA output.

Please note: this is the 943BW widescreen model (1440x900, 16:10 aspect ratio). The 943B is a different square-format monitor with 1280x1024 resolution. If you are replacing a 943B, the screen dimensions will be visibly different.
