Samsung SyncMaster S27A850D

For those of us without disposable incomes, spending more than a couple hundred dollars on a monitor requires a little justification. When it comes to expensive monitors, there's usually a professional justification, as professional graphics artists...

The Samsung SyncMaster S27A850D delivers great overall performance, and has a useful assortment of connections, including three USB 3.0 ports. The monitor's stylish but practical design provides many ergonomic options.

Compared with other professional monitors, the S27A850D lacks a few OSD configuration details. Also, HDMI would have been useful.

The Samsung SyncMaster S27A850D is a well-designed, stylish, professional monitor with great options and performance.

"Awesome colors/contrast with a huge resolution!"

Great monitor for graphics artists and gamers! Still out on the video playback though.

LED producing awesome colors & contrast

Certain HD videos have a filmy grain to them. Haven't tried to correct it yet, but that's all I got for now.

Beautiful design - horrible backlight bleed ...

I love the look and overall design of this monitor. The colors were fantastic out of the box (slight calibration needed) and the resolution is amazing.

Great Monitor

Hope it lasts a really long time!

Got this to replace a Samsung 2693HM (25.5" @ 1920x1200). Incredible difference! Very sharp - I can't believe how how small a font my old eyes can read now. Colors are amazingly deep and rich. A little calibration required (didn't need a calibration...

More connection inputs, especially HDMI, would've been nice. 16:10 aspect ratio would've been great too, but sadly, 16:9 seems to be the standard for hi-rez 27" monitors
