Syncmaster 740BF

Samsung's latest 17-inch display, the SyncMaster 740BF, offers some unique extras that set it apart from other displays. For instance, it comes with Samsung's MagicTune software, which walks you through the process of adjusting color, brightness, and...

Tilts easily, and has a clean look

Doesn't pivot

According to Samsung, the 740BF has a superfast 2-millisecond response time. However, even though screens with lower response times should theoretically deliver less motion artifacting, in our real-world motion tests we noticed no discernable...

Samsung SyncMaster 740T Monitor

The 17" Samsung SyncMaster 740T monitor impressed us and we're sure that it will impress you. One feature you are sure to enjoy is the astounding 1500:1 contrast ratio. On the off chance (or likely chance) that you are not a "techie", contrast ratio is...

Samsung SyncMaster 740B 17" LCD Monitor

With the price of computer LCD monitors becoming more affordable; their popularity is on the rise. With lower prices one would assume that the quality and performance on these lower priced LCD Monitors would be quite lacking and in most cases this is...

Digital and analog inputs, Great looking, Space Saving/More Desktop Space, 8ms response time

The display is crisp and the colors are vibrant. Also the 740B is one of the brightest LCDs we've seen. As for gaming, when the monitor is set to a refresh rate of 75hz there's virtually no ghosting while playing games. The quick 8ms response time...

Mine is perfect

I almost ordered two of these, and I wish I had. With how nice mine is, I was surprised to see the only comments were for DOA and bad pixel units. Having no idea how many were sold, it's hard to say which is a better representation. Oddly, I did have a...

Nice display, decent color, adjustable height

Bad power cord

Monitor Good . . Packing, not so much

Probably a moot point now that the item is shown as, Sold Out online, but I received the two monitors I ordered in a timely manner and was happy with the price paid. My suspicions however were aroused when I picked up the box and could immediately tell...
