A bit of entertainment can enliven long computer sessions, especially when the computer is grinding away at downloading or some other task. So quite a few computer monitors now include TV tuners that can switch between a full-screen TV picture and a small picture-in-picture (PiP) window at one corner of the screen.The Samsung SyncMaster 940MW takes the idea a bit further, with a PiP window that can be set to occupy as much of the screen as you like and a built-in FM tuner for times when the whole screen is needed for the computer. The 19-inch screen has a 16:10 aspect ratio for wide-screen movies.

As a monitor, the 940MW ($699) has a native resolution of 1,400 by 900 pixels and a 160-degree vertical and horizontal viewing angle. As a television, it is HDTV-ready and works with local analog TV signals anywhere in the world. Its speakers are below the screen.

Available through computer and electronics retailers, the SyncMaster also has composite, S-Video, component and DVI Digital Link inputs for DVD players, when there is nothing on TV worth watching.

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd and Symbian Limited announced the Samsung INNOV8, equipped with high-end features and multimedia including an 8-megapixel camera, internet browsing and ergonomics.
