Value for money: 2 and a half stars out of 5

Samsung's XL30 is a real beast of a screen. It performs admirably in all tests and comes with a calibration kit and hood to make sure you are getting the best from it from day one. Unfortunately MacUser felt that at the moment it was far too expensive to be considered seeing as how you could buy the test winner several times over on what you would be shelling out for a single Samsung screen.
