New Samsung 2493HM Displays added to workstation

If you read my previous article you surely noted that 1 of my 3 Samsung Syncmaster 175V displays was having problems.  What do you do when one of your displays goes out? Replace it with two bigger ones.  I choose the Samsung 2493HM from newegg because of its ability to swivel for a tall screen.  This is especially helpful when writing code.  Read more about my setup on the full article.

Samsung SyncMaster 175V DIM and Menu Locked

Mar 14, 2008 by Paul White


I built my workstation about 5 years ago, and at the time it was cutting edge stuff.  However one of my 17 inch SyncMaster LCDs has been having issues for the past couple days.  The Picture still shows but its very dim. What is weird is when I hit the menu button the menu comes up with the right intensity.  I have searched google and it seems I am not the only person having this problem.  I don't have time to hunt ebay for replacement parts, so I ordered some a couple new monitors off newegg.
