Samsung SyncMaster 2243BW — 22-Inch 1680×1050 Widescreen Monitor

The certified refurbished Samsung SyncMaster 2243BW is a 22-inch widescreen TN monitor delivering a crisp 1680×1050 (16:10) resolution, 5ms response time, dual DVI-D and VGA inputs, and an ergonomic height-adjustable stand — all backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

• 1680×1050 Widescreen Display: 16:10 aspect ratio provides extra vertical height compared to 16:9 panels — more content visible in documents, spreadsheets, and web pages without scrolling.
• DVI-D & VGA Connectivity: Digital DVI-D input for clean, sharp output from modern systems, plus VGA for legacy computers and older laptops — no adapters needed for most office setups.
• MagicBright3 Technology: Samsung's intelligent display mode selection optimises brightness and contrast for text, internet, game, sport, and movie content types automatically.
• 5ms Response Time: Fast TN panel response minimises motion blur for smooth scrolling, video playback, and multi-window document work.
• Height-Adjustable Stand: Tilt and height adjustment allow the ideal viewing angle and height for any user, reducing neck and eye strain during long work sessions.
• Energy-Efficient DPMS: Display Power Management Signalling drops standby power below 1W, making this a cost-effective choice for always-on office environments.

Performance in Use

The SyncMaster 2243BW's 1680×1050 resolution is a practical choice for everyday office work. The 16:10 aspect ratio gives more vertical screen space than a 16:9 widescreen of the same physical size, which translates directly to more visible rows in a spreadsheet, more lines of code, or a longer email thread without scrolling. At 300 cd/m² brightness and 1000:1 contrast, text is crisp and easy to read in typical office lighting.

DVI-D provides the cleanest digital connection for modern computers and provides noticeably sharper text rendering than VGA — particularly important at 1680×1050 where analogue signal quality can cause slight blurring. The VGA input is there for older systems and shared office equipment that hasn't moved to digital outputs. MagicBright3 lets users quickly switch between preset display modes for reading, presentations, or video without navigating through menus.

The height-adjustable stand handles the ergonomic needs of shared workspaces where multiple people use the same desk. VESA 100×100mm compatibility means the stand can be replaced with a monitor arm if needed for a cleaner desk setup. At 6.35 kg, the unit is manageable for repositioning or redeployment across office locations.
