Samsung Smart Station Series 5

It has been a while since I was last amazed by a monitor, and the last I remember was the evolution from CRT (the fat bulky monitor) to an LCD display monitor

After that, there seems to be nothing new, nothing fresh, and nothing impressive. Until I was introduced to the Samsung Smart Station Series 5. Beside having a slim and futuristic design, the Samsung Smart Station Series 5 have various port that if good enough to allow you to connect to multiple devices / gadget at the same time.

Measuring at only 43.5mm thick, the 24" LED display is very lightweight where I could even pick it up single handed. The sharp and vivid color display is yet another factor that caught my attention. I've always enjoyed the sharp and rightful display projection from Samsung be it on notebook, LED, or even the TV series. Still remember how my friend and I spend hours playing console gaming on a Samsung TV, ended up drooling over the awesome graphic and vivid display.

Here's some sample taken directly from the Samsung Smart Station Series 5 display.
