Rating: - Review of SyncMaster 720n
This is the worst monitor you can buy. I made the mistake of buying one about 6 months ago and its already quitting on me, for example the Brightness is always all the way up and when i turn it down it goes back up. In addition to this the resolution absolutely sucks!!! and the monitor it self is blurry and not clear. My advise to you it don't buy it, there is a lot better monitors out there for a better or equal price.
Rating: - Horrible
I bought a 17 inch Samsung LCD monitor because my Samsung picture tube monitor looks great. I was in for a shock, though. The picture on the LCD was so horrible, it was basically unusable. Adjusting the settings did not help. Black and white images had an obvious pink tint to them. Text was not very clear. The screen also had uneven brightness at different viewing angles. Yellows used to highlight database selections could not even be displayed! They showed up as white, like the background. (They show up fine on my picture tube monitor.) I returned the LCD monitor immediately for a refund. I would have given it 0 stars if I could. Don't know if any improvements have been made since the one I tried, though.
I'll just hold on to my now 7+ year old heavily used CRT which STILL looks better than any LCD I've seen. (I've tried other LCDs with no better results, see my reviews.)
Bring back the picture tube (CRT).
Rating: - Excellent monitor, supported with great service
I've owned this monitor for almost two years and never thought to do a review of it. What brought doing a review to mind was that the monitor developed a problem. In fact, the problem is very similar to what another reviewer encountered, which led to him giving the unit a low rating.
I give this unit 5 stars not only for its inherent quality, but for Samsung's extraordinary warranty and service.
Imagine my surprise when I was reminded this unit carries a three year warranty. And getting service is no hassle: just fill in a form on Samsung's web site and they ship a replacement unit free to the nearest UPS store. If you don't have one nearby, you pay shipping for the return of your unit. Not a bad deal at all in my case, considering that I've happily used the unit for 18 months before encountering a problem.
The monitor delivers a very sharp image with vibrant color. I adjusted in once when I set it up and have had no need to readjust it.
I had to substitute an HP monitor for the Samsung while waiting for a replacement and I was surprised at how much sharper and vibrant the Samsung screen is. A very observable difference.
The Samsung monitor is a terriffic value - and Samsung most certainly supports its product and makes warranty service a breeze.
