Samsung P2770H 27-Inch Widescreen Touch of Color LCD Monitor - Rose Black

Just thought I'd throw in my two cents about this monitor. This is an excellent choice for the price. I bought mine from Costco (I wonder if Amazon will block my post for this... well we will find out.)

PROS:
-Super sharp display (everything I'd expect from Samsung) at 1920 x 1080 resolution.
-Fast response time at 2ms
-Bright, clear display (as one user stated... too bright at factory settings)
-Colors are amazing and black is black (again, expected nothing less from Samsung)
-Turns on and adjusts to appropriate video signal very quickly (I upgraded from a 21" ViewSonic and this was an issue)
-Supplied adapters support DVI to DVI and VGA to DVI, the monitor does not come with an HDMI to HDMI cable but it does have an HDMI input.
-Beautiful display, looks really sharp on my desk, and nice and thin.

CONS:
-Others have mentioned difficulties with the touch controls for on/off and menu features. Yes, at first...Read more

Loved set based on price and features after I figured out how to adjust set when used with with HDMI hook up to expand screen so no one inch borders. After about 6 weeks it started turning itself off at random. Took at while at Samsung website to find number for support. Called support and they at first said it must be my video card since it worked OK without being plugged into video card. I explained it still shut itself off when not plugged into video card. She dug deeper and found that there's a problem with backlighting on some sets that can cause it to shut itself off.

And the website kept me advised as to the status, including the receipt of it by the warranty center and the return shipping info.

So my rating is rather confusing. I would give it 5 star but for the...Read more

Love this monitor! Construction is solid; the finish is beautiful and - most important - the images are excellent for all types of use.

The Samsung's default screen resolution is 1920 x 1080. I strongly recommend using that setting.

Installed in minutes. I am using Windows XP and needed to update the driver. Grabbed it from the Samsung Support Site (rather than using the disk included in the package). I also adjusted the Brightness setting down to 50; the factory default was about 95 - way too bright.

There are less expensive 27" monitors. In my opinion, in this product category you get what you pay for. I recommend this as very good product for a reasonable price.
