Samsung SyncMaster 955DF

WHAT'S HOT: The 955DF's $299 price tag is well below the average for 19-inch CRT displays we've tested. A button on the 955DF's bezel allows you to select a portion of the screen that you wish to focus on by "highlighting" it: The screen surrounding that area becomes darkened slightly. Once you've chosen the size of the highlighted area you wish to work in, you can adjust the contrast; the red, green, and blue color; the color temperature; and the sharpness. You also can zoom to a spot within that zone. The control would be useful for those who do heavy image editing and wish to focus on one small part of the screen--for instance, when removing red-eye from a photo.

WHAT'S NOT: The 955DF didn't fare well in our image tests: Text looked fuzzy and became difficult to read at small point sizes. Colors looked dull, and photos failed to capture the detail evident on other displays.
