Samsung SyncMaster S27A850D review: Samsung SyncMaster S27A850D

Samsung SyncMaster S27A850D

The ; 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.

Samsung S27A850 LED Ultra HD Monitor

Samsung is no stranger to the LCD market. They make LCD panels that set the bar for others to follow and in fact are the ones making the displays for Apple's new iPad. They know how to cram a bunch of pixels onto a panel and the screen we are looking...

High resolution - 2560x1440 ; 3x USB 3.0 Ports ; Lots of height adjustment ; Display can rotate ; Multiple inputs ; Good color quality

Construction feels a little cheap ; No Display Port Cable ; Premium price for the extra resolution

There is probably a lot more we could cover with the S27A850 LCD from Samsung - such as USB 3.0 port speed and such. In the end, if you're buying this 2560x1440 panel, you are probably buying it for the resolution and not the USB functionality. The...

Samsung Series 8 (S27A850T) business LCD monitor

This 27in monitor is detailed, has wide viewing angles and a great anti-glare coating

Good detail at native resolution ; Excellent viewing angles ; High quality AG coating

Expensive ; Wobbly pivot hinge ; No analog audio input

Samsung’s top business monitor is expensive, but it has excellent image quality in almost all aspects. It’s also generally well made and has a wide range of connectors.

Samsung S27A850D (SA850 27in)

The first PLS monitor is a slim 27in model with a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution and features galore.

Generally good image quality ; 2,560 x 1,440 resolution ; Decent value ; Fully adjustable ; Generous connectivity

Contrast shift ; Fiddly controls ; No HDMI

Though it’s not quite the perfect evolution we were hoping for, we’re still impressed by Samsung’s brand-new 27in PLS-based monitor. It's slim and fairly well-built, and has generous connectivity, class-leading adjustability and innovative features...

Samsung Series 8 SyncMaster S27A850T

PLS proves itself as a viable alternative to IPS. Incredibly thin. Good blacks. Power-saving features. Energy frugal. Incredible height adjustment. Allows 90-degree vertical rotation.

Pricey compared to the competition. Some banding and discolouration in gradients. HDMI port doesn't cope well with interlaced content or judder.

Samsung's SyncMaster S27A850T is an incredibly pretty, thin monitor, which proves that PLS is a viable IPS alternative. We did find some banding in gradients, and the HDMI movie performance isn't great, but for beautiful sharp imagery and high-level...

Samsung SyncMaster S27A850D review

We don't normally review monitors that cost over £500, but Samsung's S27A850D is no ordinary monitor; as well as an impressive features list - a 2,560x1,440 resolution, fully-adjustable stand and three-way USB3 hub - it's the first monitor we've seen...

The S27A850D's adjustable stand, USB3 hub and 2,560x1,440 resolution are all very good, but it's the new PLS panel, with its amazing contrast and colours, that steals the show
