Unresponsive customer service
What seems to be my monitor was dumped by Fed Ex on the lane leading to my house in a rainstorm and found by a neighbor next day. My contacts with Amazon have earned me nothing but scant promises to make amends.
My account doesn't even show that I ever ordered although I have a confirmed order number. As an old customer I should not have to hang on the phone or send e-mails that elicit canned responses.
My low rating was censored by Amazon and thus I assigned it five st...

Better than expected
Thank goodness for these reviews! If not, I'd be feeling a sucker.
For the first time I was looking to "upgrade" from a CRT to a LCD monitor. The upgrading rush had me thinking about getting one with a TV tuner incorporated. All this, of course, getting the best bang for my buck.
After going through dozens of reviews--SCARY if I may add-- I stayed clear from LCD with TV tuners, and decided to spend that equivalent amount on this monitor (after all, a brand name for o...

Samsung makes some of the best flat panel monitors
I did alot of comparative shopping and watched LCD prices drop over the last few months. I got an excellent price on this monitor. My friend has a slightly older Samsung LCD and the clearity of the display impressed me. This monitor is no acception. It's stylish looking and doesn't take up alot of deskspace, but more importantly it has features to make it a worthwhile purchase. It's got a 12 ms response time, a 600:1 contrast ratio and 1280 x 1024 max resolution. Comparing this to my econo...

State of the Art Monitor
I have had this monitor for several months now and I believe it to be the best computer investment I have made in years.
What I like:
- Saves your eyes (Definitely puts less strain on my eyes than my old 21" CRT after hours in front of the PC)
- Small footprint (huge space saving)
- Thin bezel (frame around screen)
- Sharp image
- Easy to install and use
- Generally sharp looking screen design
- Last but not least the 3yrs warrant...

Nice, but there are better ones available
Although the colors and contrast of this monitor are really wonderful, the unit I received had somewhat uneven illumination across the screen, even when sitting directly in front of it. Additionally, the *useful* viewing angle is nowhere near the range that Samsung specifies, particularly in the vertical direction. I found myself having to continually adjust my viewing position to try and get an evenly-illuminated screen. Unfortunately, this is a problem shared by a lot of monitors in this pric...

12MS Fast, Great LCD Monitor
I have had this unit for 3 months now and got it at a higher price. It is a great unit for almost anything I use including the games I play, photoshop, and excel stuff that I do. Samsung makes the best monitor out there since they are one of the largest display company in the world. I have read it that they only use exclusively Samsung panels that are the best in the world. Unlike Viewsonic that do not make their own products, I guess Samsung is getting the best panels for its branded monitors. ...

Works with a MAC too!
Monitor arrived in only four days. Thank you Amazon for that.
Everything I needed was in the box and my MAC found and installed this monitor in the time it took to turn my machine on! Open box, plug in monitor and power cord, turn on machine and wah lah! Ready to go. Did not even need the installation CD that was included. Did not need to order additional cords or adaptors.
Why I gave this four instead of five stars: Scrolling thru the brightness/contrast/color/et...

Good Monitor, Saves Your Eyes
I've had my Samsung Syncmaster spraypainted silver, so that cost me another $10. :)
The glare from this screen is really noticably lower than CRT monitors, with crisp colour. I'm really no techie, but I can say that compared to all the CRT monitors I've used before, it seems like this LCD monitors just triumphs them in terms of EVERYTHING. It's thinner for that Everything package too.
Based on my experience, I would say Yes, get it. It's been a great monitor to me for a...

Beware what you receive
Like another reviewer I was sent the 710N, rather than the 710N-2 as described. I complained and was sent a replacement: it was a 710N again. Maybe there is very little difference between the two, I don't know, but I'm very disappointed in Amazon's procedures and policy of describing goods for sale. It's unfortunate that some buyers are getting taken advantage of in this way - be careful.

Samsung 710N-2 17" Flat Panel
I love my new monitor - beautiful display, easy to work with and connect. The software CD that came with it, however, for the Magic Tune Color program, for custom color tuning, was wrong and goofed things up until I uninstalled it. There was a note on the website that if the CD didn't function properly, to go to a certain link to download the Magic Tune. I just uninstalled it and didn't go further. Color is great - Recommend this nice unit!
