The SyncMaster 275T 27-inch LCD monitor just released by Samsung is laden with wonderful features like multiple USB ports, six-color hue/saturation adjustment, and component video input and featuring a resolution of 1920x1200. This is quite an attractive monitor, black with a relatively thin bezel. The controls are all up front and are easy to use, without overpowering the bezel and disfiguring the monitor.

This is quite an attractive monitor, black with a relatively thin bezel. The controls are all up front and are easy to use, without overpowering the bezel and disfiguring the monitor. The on-screen menu buttons control is standard, but with nice features. The SyncMaster 275T also includes the gamma adjustment and 6-color hue and saturation control (red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow); with Samsung’s "MagicColor" and "MagicBright" settings. The 6-color hue and saturation controls are great. The back of the display features standard DVI and VGA inputs, together with composite and S-Video, USB input, and two USB outputs. All of the main inputs are found underneath the screen, but the component and dual USB ports are found on the left side. Underneath there is a power switch along with the actual power port. At the bottom there is a Kensington security port. The array of inputs together with the picture in picture function, make the Samsung 275T seems like an ideal monitor to hook your game console or hi-def video player to in addition to your PC. This is quite perfect as long as the other device will handle all the video processing. The component inputs accept 1080i but not 1080p, and they have trouble resolving all the detail from a 1080i signal. The Samsung 275T comes with the brightness set at 59 with the contrast at 65. The RGB color tracking is absolutely fantastic. This monitor is beautiful and is up to your expectations. The SyncMaster 275T has some of the best color accuracy, temperature tracking, gamma curve, and widest color space of almost any desktop PC monitor.

How often do you walk into someone's house to find a 27" LCD planted on top of their computer desk? Not very often ;)! A 27" display might be a bit big for the average user, or gamer, but that is all in personal preference. My own personal preference is that this screen is a bit big. I was pushing my system to the max to play CounterStrike: Source at 1920x1200 with all settings at MAX and no AA or AF. For a business or home theatre system this display would be... Read more

Buying an extremely large LCD monitor may seem to be an easy decision if you have the money, but gamers need not apply. This monitor is made for publisers, video editing professionals, movie enthusiests or anyone needing a literal field of workspace to enable them to be as productive as possible. I know that after this monitor is returned to Samsung I will be purchasing one in short order. This monitor is one of those peripherals that once you have used it and gotten... Read more

I bought this monitor for two purposes. Firstly I needed a high quality monitor with great color for graphics and photoshop work. The far secondary purpose was for watching movies. I'm happy to say that the 275t does both of these fantastically. The screen is big enough to multitask by having two windows open simultaneously and the color and crispness of the picture make it easy to do work. Its also great for movies because you can be 15 feet away and still watch... Read more
