Samsung Series 9 S27B970D

 

Samsung has been producing slick-looking monitors for years, from their Touch of Color T220HD up to the more recent T27A950 hybrid model. Its latest effort, the Samsung Series 9 S27B970D ($1,199.99 list), continues to impress. With edge-to-edge glass,...

Excellent color quality. Good light grayscale performance. Wide viewing angles. Sleek design

Expensive. Reflective coating. Lacks a dedicated audio input

The Samsung Series 9 S27B970D is an aesthetically stunning 27-inch monitor that delivers an equally stunning picture. You?ll pay a premium for this PLS display, however.

Samsung SyncMaster S27B970D 27" Series 9 Super PLS LED Monitor Review

 

Once you lift the Series 9 S27B970D Super PLS monitor out of the box, you can feel the heft that is 18.04lbs. Most of the weight is really coming from the stand, because it's not only being used as a base.

This is an interesting review. You must take all of the comments I made from start to finish and form your own conclusions that suits your own personal preferences. When compared to the Series 8 S27A850D, it has the same type of Super PLS technology on...

Best Monitor EVER!

 

I am a computer geek and a gamer. This monitor is part of my high end gaming PC upgrade. I am extremely picky when it comes to computers and especially monitors. I have to say that this is the BEST 2560X1440 monitor out there. I've done research for...

Exceptional detail and clarity in both images and videos ; The resolution is out of this world ; Build quality is very nice ; LOVE the glossy screen

Samsung quality control with this monitor

Incredible

 

Was stuck with a 21", sloppy, blue-tinted mess for 5 years. Getting this is like getting a new pair of eyes. It\'s all the spectacular color and resolution of Apple\'s monitors with a decent refresh rate for gaming. If you have the money, you wont be...

Incredible

 

After extensive research on various 1440p options, I chose to go with this monitor. I am very glad I did! This was practically an entire paycheck, but totally worth it.

This monitor is beautiful in every way ; The design of the exterior is excellent. Many other 1440p monitors are black behemoths, but this monitor is aesthetically appealing and looks great on my desk ; When I ordered my screen, it was flawless ; Not a...

Cost, but you get what you pay for ; Not really a con, but you need serious GPU power to play games in this resolution. I have two EVGA 570s, and I can no longer max out games like Crysis 2, Witcher 2, Metro 2033, and even modded Skyrim ; This is...

Fantastic display

 

This is a fantastic professional grade monitor. Photo, video and games look amazing and much truer than any other LCD / LED display I have used including the Dell professional and Apple displays. The native resoltuon may be excessive for the average...

1. Excellent color out of the box, adjustable to personal preference. Blacks are deep and smooth ; 2. No dead / stuck pixels - no defects at all ; 3. Stylish and sleek ; 4. Came with all necessary cables and optional ones ; 5. Crisp still images and...

1. No swivel (all of the connectors go into the base, might explain the lack of swivel.)

Wow!

 

A major investment for a monitor but, IMHO, worth every penny! If you can swing the cost, you won't be sorry, it's great!

Just took delivery today. Initial impressions are, superb quality and appearance. Picture quality outstanding

Really not a con but, contrary to one other users review, I found the brightness, as set from the factory much too high. Dropped it to 50% and it's fine. Everything, great as delivered

One Awesome Monitor. Best I have ever seen, owned, or imagined to date.

 

This is by far the best monitor and I am truly in love with it as far as any monitor I have ever owned. Games, Holly WOW! Pictures are the best I have ever seen. Letter clarity is unreal. Extra real estate added from resolution a huge bonus. Nice work...

The Design on the monitor is the most elegant of any monitor I have ever seen. The Up and down adjustment is awesome. Huge amount of travel from desk level to way up. Tilt is good for any angle needed. Picture is UNBELIEVABLE. Viewing angles...

No left right but the round bottom makes it easy to just turn from there. Cords do move with it so left right in very minimal due to that aspect

Love this monitor

 

I love this monitor and I'm happy coming from a Samsung 24' LED. I play games and do office work on it, so take my option for what its worth.

This monitor is truly beautiful, and the picture quality isn't bad either ; BF3 looks fantastic as does SkyRim. I've not noticed any ghosting or response lag

Whites could be a little sharper, or less dull. When in the mountains in Sky Rim the now looks more Grey than White

Samsung S27B970 LED monitor

 

You have to hand it to Samsung, the company knows how to design a sexy looking monitor. The snappily-titled S27B970 is huge 27” PLS monitor with a brushed metal base, curved stand containing touch-sensitive menu controls, dark glass front and metal rim...

Superb styling; brushed metal stand; tidy use of wires; good refresh rate; high resolution; lots of interfaces; good colour consistency; built-in 7w speakers; PLS screen

Some light leak; expensive; glossy screen hinders viewing on bright days; average brightness and contrast

Looks fantastic but it’s also quite expensive. The stand doesn’t rotate into a portrait orientation and the display isn’t quite as good a quality as the price tag demands. There can be some issues with the glass front causing reflections, but the...
