I just love this monitor. It was reasonably priced, and it has no problem with any game I have, some are very graphic intensive and action filled. The picture is great, it is very bright. I have it on 15% brightness.

I bought two of these, so far so good. I do a lot of spreadsheet work and like the squarish format over widescreen, I am able to open 4 to 6 spreadsheet windows and place them all. With a widescreen, the vertical placement is difficult. I used them at work for hours on end, really comfy on my eyes. I am glad I got them. Am a bit leery about the problems mentioned, but so far so good. I hope they will make this squarish format for a long time to come and not go with the widescreen fad. I run it at 1600 x 1200, which is perfect for me. Hope the industry goes back to squarish monitors, much more practical for work, with spreadsheets and word processing, powerpoint, coding, etc. Widescreen just doesn't have the vertical distance.

Samsung SyncMaster 743BX 17" LCD MonitorI have had my Samsung SyncMaster 743 17" LCD monitor for three weeks. The monitor is great. I like the adjustable movements and the price. The monitor picture is also very good. I would play games using my old monitor and could not see the clues or picture very well. This monitor allows me to see all the cludes and/or pictures excellent. It was very easy to install, even for an "old lady". I highly recommend this monitor to anyone that needs or wants an adjustable monitor with a good picture at a reasonable price.

I bought one Samsung 204b a year and a half ago. 6 months later, I bought another one. I've been 100% satisfied with both. They're simple, streamlined monitors (i.e. no speakers, built-in USB, cameras, etc.), but that's exactly what I wanted.I have the two monitors connected to one computer, and rotated to portrait mode. See the "customer image" that I uploaded. This allows me to create, edit, and read Word and PDF documents in the way they were made to be read, without scrolling up and down. This also lets me see more of a web page, again without scrolling. The difference in ease and comfort has meant that I can do much more on the computer, without feeling that I need to print everything out. When I want to look at photographs that work better in landscape (normal) orientation, I can easily rotate the monitors back to landscape mode.

I bought this monitor back in February when it was first released. Out of the box everything was great. No dead pixels and a beautiful picture, you will only experience ghosting if you are really trying to find it (probably in a video game).The included software was less than desirable. If you ever have an issue with a video driver, the computer prompts you to re-install the Magic Rotation software after every reboot. After about 5 re-installs, I just un-installed Magic Rotation software for good. Not that I ever used the rotate feature other than to show it off to my friends. The Magic Zone software is also a joke, it assumes you use a one monitor set up. I use multiple monitors and if a video opens up on a different monitor, the Magic Zone would get confused and just highlight a part of the Samsung monitor even without a video being displayed on that monitor. Magic Zone got annoying enough that I was forced to disable it, it's a good idea, just needs some work. I'm pretty good with reading manuals and help files if I don't understand something. I gave up on Magic Contrast, perhaps someone can explain it to me, the help file must have missed inspection since I can't understand the English used. I wish this monitor didn't require the several drivers to work properly because at least 4-5 monitor related programs now need to startup with Windows.My biggest concern and if you are not bothered by anything else you read in this review I hope you take note of this one, the stand gives up after about 3 months. While Samsung presents this stand as the "World best height adjustment" (source: Samsung's website), after about 3 months you won't be able to adjust the height anymore. You will gradually notice the screen sag deeper and deeper and eventually the screen will settle about an inch off the base. I now use a Rubik's Cube to raise the screen to an acceptable viewing height. Reading over a few forums, just about everyone that owns this monitor will tell you the same about the height adjustment. Samsung will only send you a refurbished monitor if you call to complain about it, no doubt the refurbished monitor will carry the same issue. If all the known issues about this monitor don't bother you then by all means buy it because it presents the best colors, refresh rate, and contrast ratio. The picture on this LCD is awesome, I can't complain about how sharp everything looks. If Samsung ever decides to fix the stand issue or even recall the monitors with the stand issue then this monitor might actually be worth the price.

I love this monitor. With the 2ms response time I see no motion blur or ghosting with even the fastest action sequences, the resolution (1440x900) and color contrast (8000:1) is amazing. The clarity is incredible. Watching movies, editing pictures and playing games is a joy on this monitor and with the slim stylish design it looks great even when not in use.Check the technical specs and you won't find a better monitor in its class.Set-up and customizing is a breeze too.

The Samsung SyncMaster 910MP has one of the cleanest, clearest pictures I've ever seen. You hear a lot about ghosting in LCD panels these days, and this monitor simply does not have such a problem. It's solidly constructed which is quite in contrast to most other brands. The built in TV tuner which will work in either PAL (european) or NTSC (north american) regions, only makes working or playing on the computer so much more fun. Also, if you subscribe to cable, this monitor, just like any TV is compatible. Essentially, if one were so inclined, this monitor can actually replace a TV as it has all of the neccesary functionality. You can, with the press of a button, either on the monitor itself or the included remote control, switch from PC to TV mode instantaneously, no need to close any applications. What's more is if you don't want to use the entire screen for TV viewing, you can hit the "Picture in Picture" button and watch TV in a small corner while continuing to work with whatever application you have open at the time. As the TV function is built into the monitor, it takes nothing from the performance of the PC. The built in speakers provide clear, crisp sound; and as far as built in speakers go, certainly among the best. Don't get me wrong though, they are no replacement for a externally amplified multiple speaker surround sound set-up though. I would imagine, considering the size of the monitor, which is quite large, you might actually, after setting it up, consider creating some sort of home theatre sound system for the PC, particularly gamers. As I said, the picture quality, brightness, makes this idea worthwile to toy around with. Setting up the monitor was easy. Just plug it in and it and Windows pretty much does the rest. The remote control, every bit as solid as the monitor itself, is a really nice feature, and the designers clearly made sure not to dissapoint end users. Another thing you hear about regarding LCD monitors is the analog or digital input. While this monitor does not have the digital connector to hook up to your PC, it does have the analog. Computer magazines and hardware review sites make a big deal about this, but the truth is there is no difference in the quality of picture you see. Well, maybe if your using a magnifying glass in front of the screen all of the time under perfect lighting conditions you will notice a very slight difference, but the truth is, it's one of those things that's simply nice to have, but, once you have it you say, "what's the point". So don't be turned off by the fact that it doesn't have that digital connector. Samsung also sells the SyncMaster 930MP, which is, according to the numbering and pricing, better than this, however, I spent quite a lot of time looking at both models and the 930MP is definitely an inferior model with regards to picture quality. I don't know why Samsung produces that model, but for sure, if you have the option, go for the 910MP.Well, to sumarize everything, the SyncMaster 910MP is a solid, high quality, high clarity LCD monitor with absolutely no ghosting found in most other models and has FULL TV functionality that works independently of the PC. The included accesories, like the remote control, are every bit as solid as the monitor itself. As with all LCD panels, before you buy, check the model you will be taking home in the store first to make sure no dead pixels exist. I highly recommend this monitor, and am sure if you bought this monitor, you won't be dissapointed either.

After my 21 inch trinitron monitor started to go, i decided it was finally time to jump into the flatscreen arena. My desk is now supporting 50 less pounds, is much more open and i couldn't be happier. All thanks to Samsung's 173P monitor.For the longest time, i've been one to say, "there's no way any flat screen could ever match (let alone beat) my trinitron in terms of image quality." Once the trinitron began to die, the idea of purchasing a new 60 pound beast with the knowledge that lighter and sleeker looking monitors are availabe, was not too appealing to be honest. So i began to search around online.Quite quickly, i arrived at the conclusion that i wanted a Samsung LCD. i found an endless supply of accolades for Samsung's LCDs. i thought about the apple cinemawide monitor, but i absolutely despise apple as a company, and the technology in their cinema displays is outdated anyway - thus my decision to go with Samsung was finalized. I narrowed my choices down to either the 172X or the 173P.I initially purchased the 172X. The 12ms pixel refresh rate really hooked me. Ghosting has plagued LCD's since they first came about. The idea of no ghosting, really made me feel comfortable purchasing my first LCD. I received the 172X and was impressed by the sleek look and the small footprint of this monitor. There was absolutely no ghosting. However, as was said before in an earlier review here, the viewing angle is ATTROCIOUS on this monitor. Even when looking at this monitor dead on, it can still be difficult to aviod seeing washed out colors...bright whites melting into yellows, deep reds bleeding into pink. It was really dissappointing. So, after about a week with the 172X, i decided to send it back and shell out another 50 dollars for the Samsung 173P monitor... boy, was it worth it. The Samsung 172X monitor looks great, but the 173P monitor one ups it. Even before you turn it on, this monitor wows you with it's design. There are NO buttons on the face of the monitor, minus the touch sensitive power button and input changing button (hold your finger there for a moment and the monitor will turn on or off with a beep, keep your finger there for a few seconds and the inputs will change. very cool.) The power light on this monitor is a blue led which also looks really nice. But it's when you turn this monitor on that you truly realize just how great it is. Text on this monitor is razor sharp, where text on the 172X was merely very sharp. Color vibrance on this monitor beats the 172X, which is already great. While the 172X has a 500:1 contrast ratio, (how bright colors look) the 173P has a contrast ratio of 700:1, and it shows. The brightness of the 173P is very much superior to the 172X. The biggest problem with the 172X, the terrible viewing radius, is not only alleviated, but a "claimed" 178 degree viewing angle, sets an indrustry high water mark in this area and equates to stunning performance in this respect. While maybe not quite 178 degrees as Samsung claims, the viewing radius is VERY close to this, as looking at the monitor flat from the side reveals only a slight degredation of color quality. Whether you are looking at this monitor dead on, or very nearly entirely from the side, the colors stay rich and vibrant. And most surprising, despite the slower refresh rate of the 173P, i found there to be NO GHOSTING in games. If i would have known ghosting would have been a non-issue with this monitor, i never would have bothered with the 172X in the first place.NO DEAD PIXELS were found on the 173P and this was a very pleasant discovery. My 172X had 1 dead pixel, which, while annoying, was by by no means the reason i was dissatisfied with it. After coming from the trinitron, i can not believe how well the 173P performs. Unlike trinitron monitors, there are NO geometry issues. Straight lines are straight and not bowed in or out. Constant adjustments to picture size and geometry are no longer necessary. Degaussing every day is no longer necessary. Colors are so much more vibrant and accurate on this LCD monitor that i can not explain how much better pictures online or from my digital camera look than on the trinitron. It is quite simply, a revelation. Lastly, the space saved and super-swank aesthetics of this monitor really do make it an ultra high-class product. Just remember that this monitor does not come cheap. At around 600 dollars, it is the most expensive 17" LCD monitor out there. Also, while crts are measured by screen and frame size, lcd's are measured by viewable size. So, while a 17" crt offers less than 17" of viewable screen size, a 17" LCD actually offers 17" of viewable space. If you want the best 17" lcd money can buy, you would be making a mistake buying anything other than the Samsung 173P monitor.

Pros:Solid image quality. Great adjustable stand. DVI and VGA inputs. 16x10 display is great for movies. 1680x1050 resolution.Cons:The black levels aren't that great. Not as bright as I would like (especially compared to my macbook pro). The viewing angle is pretty bad. The cable management system is a joke (the clip does not do much).Overall, it is a solid monitor for the price.

I really like this monitor, have had it for about 6 months or so. I upgraded from an iBook and didn't realize how dim I was used to see my work! I work in design and have to edit images, layout mags, etc with my monitor so it's gotta be friendly to the eye and relatively color accurate (not a photographer so it doesn't need to be 'perfect').I will share the same complaint about the hinge. I guess I am also a little bit bummed that the base is so big, but I knew that going in...just miss the desk space now. I can tell you right now there is no way my monitor ever, even when it was brand new, stood as high and straight up as the one pictured here though. I just tried again, it's like trying to straighten out my grandmother...it just isn't going to happen without breaking something.So, to sum up, it would get a 5 if the hinge were better and the software worked with a mac. The mac does recognize the features of the monitor (rotate, color calibration, etc) on it's own so I don't know how much of the software I am missing out on...usually end up turning that stuff off anyway.

I love the image quality of this screen, but it has developed the same trouble staying above desk level that other users have reported. A few months after I installed it, the arm stopped being able to hold it up, and I have had to resort to jamming a squishy rubber ball into the joint of the arm, just to keep it a little bit above desk level. Also, I can also confirm that the software included with the screen has many problems - I had to uninstall it as well. Get the next model!

Most folks report good things about this monitor and I don't doubt them but my experience has so far been very different. I bought this unit in late August. The unit arrived in perfect working order and with NO dead pixels. The monitor was truly beautiful with great color depth and high contrast and like all LCDs - no reflections. Very easy to use and watch. But at the end of 3 weeks of use a black horizontal line about 10 pixels high showed up about an 1/8th of the way down the screen. I tried refreshing the screen believing it was an artifact of the video card's refresh logic but that didn't make it go away so I tried rebooting the machine - and the screen came back in a series of 1 inch high bands of dark and light pink horizontally across the screen. I contacted Samsung support to get a replacement instead of contacting the original seller in the belief the turnaround would be faster since Samsung offered to immediately send a replacement to the nearest UPS store. But when that unit arrived approximately 5 days later it was also defective - it worked at first but after one hour the screen started turning on and off randomly. I contacted Samsung for a replacement and they have yet to schedule a unit to replace it. They have a 7-14 day window in their warranty replacement guarantee - but it starts from the date of the ticket and instead of admitting the first ticket's replacement unit was defective they opened a new ticket. It's been two full weeks since I had a working unit and will be at least another week before I get a replacement because "they had some trouble setting the serial numbers straight."

We purchased two of these monitors to replace older LCD monitors that stopped working. The monitor does everything we expected.Set up in not intuitive but is OK if you read the instructions. Resolution is good for normal viewing but there is some banding if you are viewing a screen with mostly light colors. This is acceptable as I have observed it on other monitors.It leaves a bit to be desired when used as a TV but the PIP is very good. Again this was the same with our older monitors.I would recommend this monitor if you are looking for a dual function monitor at a reasonable price.

I have nothing but praise for the image quality. I can't imagine how anything could look better than the output of the 970P.It's just that darn hinge, after 6 months it started sagging and now it sits 1" off my desk. I put a rubber cement bottle under the screen and now it sits at the right height.

Hi! I bought this monitor about 1 year ago (not from Amazon), and recently I experienced what everyone else here was saying too: the hinge started to droop and sag, and no longer support the monitor!Well, I called customer service (from Samsung's website) and explaining the issue, they said they would send me a replacement base free of charge. It was their suggestion (so I didn't have to fight with them or anything), they did not even ask when I bought it! So, it seems they are making amends by just replacing the base (and hinge arm) free of charge to people who have a problem.So, the moral of the story is, if you have this monitor and its giving you issues, don't give up hope! Just give them a call and get a replacement! and you never know, they may have revised the base since then and improved it, so the new one might not do that. Good luck!

This monitor is great value of you don't really care about the accuracy of color. It's quite bright and has great contrast though it has an occasional faint swarming grain that does not go away with auto-adjust. You may or may not notice the grain. I tried for over an hour to get the colors calibrated and eventually gave up. It has a few pre-defined color profiles and they are all useless and wildy inaccurate. Colors are bright and over-saturated because they are clipped so it's pretty, just not accurate.For games and text it's probably great but side-by-side with a good quality LCD you can definitely tell the difference. I would pass on this one if you do any photo editing or create graphics people are going to look at on other monitors.

I've purchased this monitor, because my eyes had trouble seeing small things on my 19" CRT monitor. This one is 20.1 and does not sound like much more, but it is. LCD screens give you the true size, while CRT say they have more then they actually do. I ran my old monitor at 800x600, which turned out to be a problem with some websites. I was looking for something that allows a larger resolution, without going into small prints. I know windows lets you enlarge characters, but it does not effect images.Not to long a go, I did buy one of the new Microsoft keyboards that has a natural curve to it to help with my writs. It does help a lot by they way, but what I really liked was the little switch that lets you enlarge or reduce fonts in the browser.Anyway, back to this monitor. I run it at 1024x768 and the resolution is just perfect. I love the crisp pictures and the great colors. This company thought about their product for a long while. It even has a utility that matches real photos through a scanner to your monitor. True colors through and through.Overall, no more problems with high resolution websites, and my eyes can finally relax. One more important thing, the installation was a breeze. This was the easiest I have seen in a long while.I also like the option that you can rotate the monitor from vertical to horizontal. Works great with Word documents. I've found that you should guide your power and monitor cable around the right side to the merger clip behind. This makes it a smooth rotate. For some reason the manual suggest to go left and right, which kind of makes it harder to rotate because of one cable being in the way. Not a real issue, just keep them to the right side and it does not happen.I can only recommend this monitor.

As many others in cyberspace who bought this monitor have noted, the fundamentally flawed design of this monitor means that the monitor sags because the hinge design cannot support its weight. While it looks good, and I have no problems with the speed or brightness of the display, the fact that Samsung made such a bad design when it comes to the way the monitor is supposed to work really irks me, especially since I paid a premium for the looks and am now resigned to propping up the monitor with a book. Do not buy this monitor! Get one that is better designed.

I was wary of LCDs. My belief was that the only good LCDs came from Apple and those still weren't good enough in comparison to one of my huge bulky Trinitron behemoths...But when I decided to build a new top of the line computer, I did some research, and according to the folks on Anandtech this was the best monitor you could get, hands down. So, I did.And I am very happy. This is a great monitor, it's bright, vibrant, and attractively housed. The "arm" that holds is is a huge help, allowing you to adjust the monitor into any position that suits you... as someone who sits in odd positions and likes to move around my desk, being able to rotate/raise and lower/spin the monitor around is a great great help. Admittedly the arm makes it shaky if you have an unstable desk (I use a cheap Ikea table with four legs so it's wobbly), but it's not even noticeable really. The arm is a great advantage over my friend's LCDs which do not rotate or move at all! I couldn't imagine dealing with a monitor I have to physically move entirely to move the screen around.Despite complaints of being a 6bit instead of an 8bit monitor, a fact that I can attest to since I have done comparisons, I've had no issues with color reproduction and nothing seems iffy, but I don't do "professional" work on this monitor.For normal PC use and gaming, I don't really think you can do much better. It's pricey, but the arm, the quality of the screen, and the general attractiveness is worth it.As a side note, the Samsung software that comes with the monitor is complete rubbish. It hard-locks my machine every time I try to use it and I would recommend against using it. The screen came out of the box almost perfect as far as color and brightness levels go. The rest I could adjust using NVIDIA's driver color control applet. I'd recommend doing that and staying away from the Samsung software.

Being mostly a gamer, but on the side a digital photographer and programmer/network specialist, I can say this monitor truly stands out for it's 2D quality. The 3D graphics accleration however, is not something to go crazy about. The 5ms response time is certainly accurate, yet if you're searching for that particular game monitor that has the least ghosting when put up against a CRT, you should stick with a more "Sonic" brand name. They seem to have the edge as far as response time goes. Aside from the drawback for gaming, the monitor is perfect for any other use. While watching movies, you'll get a slight "twinkling" effect around certain high contrast color edges, but you'll only notice it if you're seeking it out. Enjoy the movie, don't critique the monitor. The 2D color rendering is some of the best I've seen out of the box in an LCD. If the color is not to your liking straight off though, Samsung gives you a fantastic suite of calibration tools to help you make sure what you're seeing is true color as measured by science. The niftiest color tool is the one to make sure what you see is what you print (on paper I mean). Everything else the monitor does is just icing on the cake. MagicRotation, MagicBrite, color presets, and much much more. Of note for those who are trying to remain future-tech conscious; this monitor is NOT HDCP certified or compliant so don't expect it to be the Windows Media Center PC monitor for your next upgrade (or for Windows Vista). I didn't keep it because of the slight (very slight) ghosting in games. That's just because I'm an extreme nitpicker when it comes to my gaming experience. If you want visual real-estate, great color, nifty gadgets, and the all around good looks (case-wise) in an LCD, certainly go for it. If you want the best of the best for gaming, continue looking.
