5 out of 5 stars Great Product.......2007-03-21

I have had this monitor for over a year now and it is still amazing. I have no dead pixels and it works great.

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT.......2006-04-23

If you're considering a flat-screen monitor - it's WORTH IT. This thing is excellent - it's clear, crisp, and vibrant. The screen doesn't fade to black from the side, you can still see the picture looking strait on.

It doesn't blink like normal monitors - in fact when I take a photograph of the screen there are no flashing lines, it's a solid picture. Less eye strain - I love it!

5 out of 5 stars Samsung Excelence.......2005-12-12

The best choice in your range, great quality a performance. Always Samsung with the amazing monitors.

5 out of 5 stars Good Monitor, Saves Your Eyes.......2005-11-26

I've had my Samsung Syncmaster spraypainted silver, so that cost me another $10. :)

The glare from this screen is really noticably lower than CRT monitors, with crisp colour. I'm really no techie, but I can say that compared to all the CRT monitors I've used before, it seems like this LCD monitors just triumphs them in terms of EVERYTHING. It's thinner for that Everything package too.

Based on my experience, I would say Yes, get it. It's been a great monitor to me for a year now.

3 out of 5 stars Nice, but there are better ones available.......2005-11-11

Although the colors and contrast of this monitor are really wonderful, the unit I received had somewhat uneven illumination across the screen, even when sitting directly in front of it. Additionally, the *useful* viewing angle is nowhere near the range that Samsung specifies, particularly in the vertical direction. I found myself having to continually adjust my viewing position to try and get an evenly-illuminated screen. Unfortunately, this is a problem shared by a lot of monitors in this price range, due to the particular LCD technology used. Also, right out of the box, my unit displayed a decided blue/purple color tint (which can be corrected with the monitor's MagicTune firmware and/or the computer's gamma adjustments.)

A more irritating "feature", at least to me, is the fact that this monitor's screen is NOT the usual 4:3 ratio that we're all familiar with from regular CRT monitors, but a 5:4 ratio. (A lot of low-priced LCD monitors are shaped like this.) What does this mean, and why is it important? Well, if you do a lot of image editing or CGI work, the ONLY screen resolution that produces true "round" circles (for example) is the native (high) resolution...which is a 5:4 ratio. Setting the resolution to any of the others included (like 800 X 600, etc.) results in "squashed and stretched" images. A circle becomes an ellipse! And the monitor's built-in, non-defeatable auto-adjustment feature will not let you modify this. (I didn't download Samsung's latest MagicTune sortware version, so I don't know if other 4:3 ratios have been implemented.) For graphics work, I recommend an LCD monitor with an actual 4:3 ratio screen size, such as Samsung's model 204-T (a 20" monitor at about twice the price...and which offers MUCH more even screen illumination, and from wider viewing angles.)

Strangely enough, Amazon offers this 710N monitor on two different pages, with two different prices! I ordered the 710N-2 and received the 710N. I have no idea if these are different.

2 out of 5 stars Don't use this monitor for gaming.......2007-01-28

If, like me, you enjoy playing a variety of computer games, don't get this monitor. With a large number of games, the monitor "complains" about the resolution. The monitor is plainly able to display a variety of resolutions just fine, but it plasters a banner in the middle of the the screen that says "Not Optimal Mode. Use 1280x1024 @60Hz". After two minutes, the screen goes blank. If you turn the monitor off, then on, you get another two minutes. If you wish to remove the banner from the middle of the screen, press the "brightness" button, then the "menu" button. But you still only get two minutes of viewing time. This problem so completely trumps any considerations of clarity, contrast ratio, and brightness that I won't bother mentioning those minor criteria. I HATE this monitor because it can display all video signals just fine, it simply CHOOSES not to!

5 out of 5 stars This is the best 17 inch monitor you can buy!.......2005-04-06

I picked this out for christmas, and i am telling you this monitor rocks! I love it! Games look and play fantastic on it, text is very crisp and easy to read, no eyestrain, 170 degree vewing angle, it looks great from all angles,its slim space saving design, webpages look fantastic on it, you just can't beat the performance for the price. 6 months later I still love this monitor. This monitor has recieved very good reviews online and for good reason, its the best 17" monitor there is!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent LCD Monitor!.......2005-03-18

I was looking for LCD monitor for years and years...from traditional CRT world, and this was my first LCD choice.
The result is, I am extremely satisfied with the crisp clear very bright quality. It's even way brighter and clearer than my 15 inch Powerbook.
I was considering to purchase one back in 2002 and contrast ratio trend was 400:1 or 450:1 by then. And I still remember how monitor quality was back then(we still have similar quality of LCD today). What I'm emphsizing is 600:1 contrast ratio spec which gives outstanding computing environment.
The detail of the display is just awsome because of 0.264mm dot pitch size I would say. (Compared to 0.284mm or something for other LCDs)
I agree this is simple LCD with not much option, such as dual display support, pivot function, lack of USB port etc.
But considering price, and if we just think of the MAIN FUNCTION of the monitor, this product has far more value than it's market price! I won't regret the choice I've made for the next 5 years or so. 3 year warranty is another merit.
Highly recommended A+++ product.

5 out of 5 stars Great monitor for a great price (FREE in my case!).......2005-03-03

I got this monitor from a freeflatscreens site and have been using it now for over a week. The first thing I noticed was that it was VERY bright compared to my old 17" standard monitor. The second thing I noticed was the vibrant colors that jump out at me, attracting my eyes to every detail. The next thing I noticed was the incredible viewing angle - I can look from any side, any direction and get *barely* any grayed picture (even still, it's clear and readable). Fourth, it is very easy to use the on-screen display buttons. Adjusting the color, brightness, sharpness, etc. is very easy to do to get the picture just the way you want it. Fifth, the monitor is very small... compared to my older monitor! When I look at this Samsung monitor from the side, it appears to be a very small size, but when I use it from the front I can tell that it has a VERY big screen! This thing takes up so little space on the desktop that it is very much worth its price tag. Next, the monitor can be adjusted to swivel up or down, but I haven't gotten it to swivel left-right yet - which doesn't really matter because I can just move it easily. Last but certainly not least, this monitor has GREAT specs! I've looked at many LCD monitors in this price range, but the Samsung 710N stood out because of its specs: 12ms response time (great for gaming), 600:1 contrast ratio (great for gaming or photo/video editing), 1280x1024 native resolution (great for anyone who multitasks), anti-glare coating (great for rooms with windows), 9.6 lbs (great for mobility), and best of all it comes with a 3-year warranty! I highly recommend this product!

5 out of 5 stars I love this monitor!.......2004-12-17

Most user reviews of monitors say, "I looked at a lot of monitors..." Well, I've been looking at LCD monitors ever since they came out---o when I finally convinced my wife that we should move into the 21st century and replace our CRT, I knew quite a bit about LCD's!

I chose the 710N because it had the best combination of clarity, color, speed, and price. I haven't regretted it for a moment---it's an absolute joy. It looks every bit as good as the Sony my friend paid considerably more for.

Some people have complained that they couldn't find the model with the ivory frame, just the black. This boggles me. When you're looking at your desktop, a video, etc., why do you want a light-colored frame distracting you? (It makes as much sense to me as people who buy certain computers because the cases come in cute candy colors---but anyway...) Considering that you're focusing on the monitor's display, not the frame, I feel the frame should be as unobtrusive as possible. On the 710N, even the controls are smoothly integrated into the frame's bottom edge. It's as elegantly neutral a design as you'll find.

If you're shopping for your first LCD monitor, or upgrading from an older one, I don't think this great monitor will disappoint you.

5 out of 5 stars Samsung 710N a quick decision that paid off........2005-10-28

I purchased this monitor after the recent Hurricane Rita. I write software and needed a monitor to fit on a small desk. I am able to run the monitor at 1024x768 @ 75hz (refresh rate*). The monitor was very hazy at 1280x1024 @ 75hz. The monitor has easy to use controls and does not heat up more than 85F, this is important if you decide to buy two or more for a dual display soltion, that most programmers use.

*Do not run this monitor at a lower refresh rate. Adjust display properties to 75hz in Windows. I found my eyes got very tired using 60hz, the windows default.

4 out of 5 stars flamgolf.......2005-10-15

It saves me desk top space and the picture is about as clear as my 8 year old monitor. So , I guess it's OK.

5 out of 5 stars Very Happy.......2005-08-27

I had looked at many LCD monitors before deciding to purchase the Samsung SyncMaster monitor. Many of them just do not have a good picture. They were not as clear as I am used to with the CRT monitors. I am totally pleased with this one. The colors are beautiful. The picture is just what I want. They are adjustable to each person's needs. It was a little bright, but it was very easy to adjust. I definitely recommend it.

    JVC's Digital Direct Progressive Scan output, quantified as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. High-quality component-video outputs help minimize line scan and digital artifacts on compatible televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs assure compatibility with nearly any set.

    A high-resolution onscreen graphical user interface (GUI) allows Windows-like interactive operation with tool bars superimposed onto the TV screen for simple point-and-click operation. Other convenience features include 3-step high-quality zoom and Screen Fill, which zooms in on a DVD image to eliminate letterbox "bars" on the TV screen.

    JVC's versatile VFP (Video Fine Processor) allows 7 parameters of advanced picture adjustment, including gamma, brightness, contrast, color, tint, sharpness, and "Y delay." In addition to 2 factory presets (normal and cinema) there are two user-selectable memories.

    A single set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (1 each coaxial and optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

    4 out of 5 stars Good potential but somewhat flawed.......2005-02-03

    I own both this JVC XV-NP10S and the much famed Philips DV642P. Both are capable of playing DivX or Xvid movies, in addition to the regular DVD/CD/MP3/JPEG.

    The following is a list for the Pros and Cons against the Philips DV642P, a well considered industry norm.

    Pros:
    1. The media slots. Almost all the popular memory cards are supported, which is very convenient for digital camera owners. Though the display speed is somewhat slow while reading the digital memory card, it's still more convenient than burning to a disc and play.
    2. Remote control. The remote is much better in design, layout and quality than the Philips, which is almost like a joke. It's easier to hold in your palm too.
    3. 480P/480i/Remote switch for the resolution. When equipped with a HDTV, the best resolution is 480P. It can be easily changed by a switch at the back of the unit, although switching via remote is also possible. This is much easier than the Philips.
    4. More function buttons on the face plate. Fast forward/backward can be selected directly from the face plate.

    Pars:
    1. Display quality. Both JVC and Philips can play media in very good quality for MPEG4s.
    2. Appearance. Both are slim, and IMHO, they both look good.
    3. Menu. Both are equally bad. The menu looks primitive, though functional. The truncation of file names (9 characters long) is most irritating, especially when you have many episodes downloaded from the net which have long and similar file names.
    4. Both cannot play more advanced features like Qpel.

    Cons:
    1. Sometimes audio and video are out of sync. My Philips unit never does that.
    2. Some media files play with big pixelization. For Philips, you can hit System Menu button twice. For this unit, there is no such luck.
    3. Cannot be adjusted to region free.
    4. Does not seem to be firmware upgradable.
    5. Face plate button quality is filmsy.
    6. More expensive than the Philips unit.

    I cannot provide information on the long term durability because both units are fairly new. For now, I am more inclined to recommend the Philips over the JVC unit, especially at a lower price. There are some other players which are even less costly, like Norcent 220. However, I do not believe they carry momentums like these 2, and I have never used those so I cannot provide more insight.
