Samsung SyncMaster 971P

 

The Samsung SyncMaster 971P's unique and flexible base design, stylish looks, and fine color performance make this monitor worth a business's consideration.

Good color and light-gray performance. Slick design. Auto-pivot.

Only one input. Average dark-gray reproduction.

Samsung SyncMaster 971P Black 19" LCD Monitor (19", 1280x1024, 6ms, DVI, PC/Mac)

 

The $380 (as of January 12, 2007) Samsung SyncMaster 971p does a good job of displaying text, and its unique design helps it stand out from other 19-inch displays.

Unique stand hosts the power button

Does not swivel

The Samsung showed sharp, clear text in our tests. Its uniquely shaped stand houses the power button.

Samsung Syncmaster 971P 19inch LCD Display Review

 

Darth Vader would be rolling over in his space grave if he knew his glossy black trademark look had been appropriated by Samsung for a recent line LCD monitors... not to mention countless cellphones. What have the Imperial Forces come to?!

Ultimately, the 19" Samsung SyncMaster 971P LCD monitor is a well built and good looking display with excellent contrast and good luminance. If it's time for you to replace an older display with an LCD panel, the Syncmaster 971P will fill that role...

Samsung SyncMaster 971P LCD

 

For many years, I have always been impressed by the quality of CRT's that Samsung have made. Just about every CRT I have owned was made by Samsung. But now that CRT's have met their demise due to LCD technology, can Samsung keep their promise in making...

Excellent viewing angle ; No stuck or dead pixels ; Very little backlight bleeding

Software control only ; No Linux support ; Quite expensive for the average user

No OSD (On Screen Display)?

SyncMaster 971P LCD Monitor

 

The key feature of the SyncMaster 971P 19” monitor is an asymmetric stand, which gives the device an elegant appearance. The triple-hinged base allows the user to swivel the monitor by 180 degrees, tilt it by 135 degrees, and pivot between horizontal...

has drawbacks but great monitor overall

rotating screen is revelatory ; LCD very clear and very bright ; beautiful colors ; two usb ports

Horrible for Gaming and Multimedia

 

Excellent color and saturation.

Image quality is good only for static images, once things start moving.
