Samsung MD230X3 Eyefinity 3x1 Display

In this review, we're going to evaluate the MD230 display and share some experiences with the 3x1 Eyefinity setup.

Nice narrow bezels ; Everything included for total landscape or portrait setup ; Accurate color and good image quality ; 3240x1920 ; 5760x1080 ; Control included works for individual or all displays ; You can add extra MD230 panels to upgrade your display

LCD response time is a little slow ; Ghosting noticed in some games ; HEAVY ; Quite expensive

Wow. If you've spent your life gaming at a 17" - 19" screen and haven't experienced a game on anything bigger at a 22" LCD, there really are no words to describe gaming at 3240x1920. Even if you've gamed on a full 1080p large TV, keep in mind that the...

As Advertised

These monitors are not cheap, but they do look good in a professional office setting. The clarity is good and I especially like the hinges which keep the monitors flush. However, the hinges only provide for about 30 degrees of swing. I wish it had...

Missing features

First I will start with the positive. I've built many display systems myself over the past 10 years and nothing comes close to fitting together like this system. In passed system it was expected that not all monitors would line up and that there would...

No HDCP support

I have six of these monitors and by far my biggest complaint is that there isn't HDCP support. Without HDCP support you cannot play bluray or other copy-right protected media. The picture is amazing and the super thing bezel is the first of it's kinda.

Excellent Setup

I bought this setup a year ago and I enjoyed it so much I upgraded to the x6 version recently. I kept the x3 and rotated the monitors to portrait instead of landscape. What a fantastic setup. I noticed people write reviews for things they find...

Very nice setup. I've owned many multi-monitor setups over the last decade or so. This was by far the best of them. The monitors blend well together with the small Bezel and its one of the best mounts out there. The remote to control all three at once...

I wish they were IPS displays. But they are still very high quality with good viewing angle and excellent color replication ; The response rate on these monitors is slow enough that gamers will not like them. I don't game so I don't care

Honest Feedback

I noticed people write reviews for things they find overpriced when they don't actually own one. That isn't helpful to anyone. If its not in your budget or you find the bang-for-buck not to your liking, just don't buy it. These are designed for VERY...

This display is designed for multi-monitor setups. If you're a gamer you won't be happy with the refresh rate but I am a business user and this works perfect for that setup ; Excellent viewing angle. Good colors, though they are NOT S-IPS displays...

Not IPS. Would of bee nice but that isn't worth an egg as what you're paying for in the bezel ; You can buy three of these for $1650... Or you for all over ~$150 more you get a stand, cables, and a remote to control all three of them. See MD230X3. And...
