:. Introduction .:
Today multi-tasking is has become effortless
because of higher processing speed and now the same can be said about
entertainment. Samsung's new Tantus 1775W combines everything anyone wished for in
a monitor: an HDTV, a high resolution LCD display, and the many more features
that are built in. The
1775W also has Virtual Dolby Surround sound so you can get the best
quality sound out of such a small speaker package. Not only that, the monitor
comes with a remote so you can watch TV across the room without having to
get up. I will be going over these details further in the review.

Samsung Tantus LTM 1775W HDTV LCD Monitor .:
After taking this monitor out of the box, I was
impressed with what I saw. Its design is very modern and that also
reflected to the technical side of the
1775W. This is one of the most
versatile monitors
aroun d
and this is proven once you look at the back of this unit. There are a
total of 13 gold-plated inputs
that will connect the 1775W to almost anything you have around the house.
It is not surprising that Samsung developed such
an extensive menu
system. There are a number of options that are available such as
picture-in-picture (PIP), Split Screen, and many
more.
With PIP, you can change the size of the box, change its location, and
change what input you want within the smaller screen.
With this monitor it is possible to be on the
computer and watch TV at the same time with the picture-in-picture (PIP)
mode. One major advantage of this feature is that it uses 0% of the CPU,
while TV tuner cards tend to use about 30%. This is because the cable is
connected directly to the monitor.
