Samsung S27B550V 27" Class Full HD LED L

I just moved up from a 23" Samsung monitor. The 2ms response time is great for gaming as there is no ghost effect. The previous monitor (both connected via HDMI cable) would not come out of standby by moving the mouse. Samsung has corrected that with...

Good for images and movies

I made a mistake in buying this monitor for one reason I forgot to check the refresh rate when buying it. This monitor is amazing for watching movies and looking at pictures and the 27'' makes viewing these things very enjoyable; however, if your into...

Perfect monitor

This monitor has gotten some bad reviews which I feel are undeserved which is why I took the time to write this. I bought one of these today and I am loving it! There is no backlight bleed. The whites are truly white and the backlight provides even...

Even lighting / accurate colors

Nothing bad to say about this one

Middle of the road

This is a pretty good monitor for the prices. If you are looking for really high performance or other features you will have to pay more. Its a great general use monitor. Does everything pretty well but nothing great. Monitor does not tilt which I was...

Excellent Monitor

The guy who wrote the 1 star review obviously doesn't understand monitors very well because he wrote LED technology isn't there yet so he went back to buying LCD monitors, that makes no sense. LED is the type of backlighting used as opposed to CCFL and...

Colors that come alive, the picture difference from your old monitor will be immediately noticable

None really except as with all technology you wish the price was lower

Big Bang For The Buck

I was thinking about being a VESA wall mount for the monitor thinking there was no tilt, but it can tilt up to 20 degrees backward.

I love the size of the monitor. I think it's just right for 1920x1080 for a desktop monitor (I honestly think smaller monitors in the 19-22" range are a bit small for 1920x1080), and the price was definitely right for such a large monitor ; Has exactly...

The onboard speakers are absolutely atrocious. I don't count this as a con because I was never planning to use the onboard speakers anyway, and as mentioned in the pros section, I wanted to have the HDMI in carry sound out through a 3.5mm audio out...

Simply Stunning

I was looking to upgrade from my Acer 23" LCD to a LED as well as perhaps gain some overall performance and size. This panel fits the bill on all accounts. I mainly use it for photo editing in Photoshop and Lightroom. The Black Level and Contrast on...
