Widescreen LCD Monitors
Work can be beautiful.
You’ll enjoy looking at your new Samsung monitor. And that’s before you even turn it on. The
53 Series widescreen monitors feature an acrylic bar along the bottom edge that sets them
apart with style. The bezels are finished in a rich, high-gloss black, with matching glossy black
pedestals. The edges are gracefully rounded, and the design incorporates buttonless touch
controls. All of a sudden, your office feels like an art museum.
Fast 2 ms G to G response for sharp motion graphics.
Not everything you do on your Samsung will be a spreadsheet or a still picture. You might be viewing a website with motion video. You might be
watching a sales video. You might be watching the playoffs with the gang one night after work. Maybe you’re even sneaking in a little gaming time
at lunch. Whatever the case may be ultra-fast 2 ms Gray-to-Gray response times give you sharp, smear-free, impressive motion video.

8000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for a continually
inspiring picture.
Samsung dynamic contrast analyzes picture input signals and continually adjusts
brightness for optimized contrast. The result is brighter brights without blowing out the
whites, and richer blacks that hold detail. With 8000:1 dynamic contrast, it’s a constantly
shifting range that always delivers the most detailed picture possible.
HDCP for display of high-resolution digital content.
The details are what separate a great idea from an average idea. And they’re what separate a
great monitor from an average one.
The 953BW, 2053BW, 2253BW and 2253LW give you all the detail you need. They’re HDCP-compatible
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). So when you connect a Blu-ray player, game console or other
HD source to your monitor, the content will be displayed with no disruption due to content protection. You’ll be
able to watch high resolution movies with all the quality that’s intended.
Power Consumption Control saves energy and saves money.
You can set your Samsung monitor to turn off automatically at a specific time. It saves energy, it extends the life of your monitor and it ensures
your Samsung monitor is operating at peak efficiency for a long time to come.
Custom Key gives you a monitor customized to you.
Which Samsung picture-optimization function do you find yourself using the most? With the Custom Key, you can set it to give you one-touch
access to MagicBright, MagicColor, Color Effect or Aspect Ratio Control.
Wide 16:10 ratio with Aspect Ratio Control.
With a wide aspect ratio, you can view DVDs the way they were meant to be viewed.
With Samsung’s Aspect Ratio Control, you can also view 5:4 and 4:3 content the
way it was meant to be viewed. If you use a typical wide monitor with a PC that
doesn’t support wide aspect ratios, the picture will expand to fill the wide monitor
and distort. With the user-selectable Wide and Normal Image Size modes on the
Samsung 953BW, 2053BW, 2253BW and 2253LW wide monitors, the original
aspect is preserved, so no matter what you’re viewing, it will be distortion-free.
Control it all easily.
We put thought into every aspect of a Samsung monitor, including ease of use. With MagicTune™, you can easily control every aspect of your
picture, right from your screen. That means that if your monitor is wall-mounted, out of reach or if you just don’t feel like using the touch controls
on the monitor, perfect color calibration is simple.
The asset management feature lets you adjust networked monitors from a remote computer, as well as keep track of models, serial numbers, IP
addresses, user names and status of all client monitors.
MagicTune™also includes the MagicWizard™feature. With MagicWizard, you can set resolution, color, image and display font, either manually or
automaticallty. And with the MagicKey feature, you can use the monitor’s buttonless touch-controls as hot keys to go directly to your most-used
applications, or even your favorite websites.
The perfect picture with exclusive MagicBright 3 technology.
MagicBright 3 is an exclusive Samsung technology that gives you the optimum viewing experience, no matter what’s on your screen. Seven
presets let you instantly select from modes that include Custom, Text, Internet, Game, Sport, Movie and Dynamic Contrast.
