Vile customer "service".......2007-01-13

This company appears to be setting a new low in a field that has already sunk to a remarkable low ebb.

Attempting to get customer service from these people is about as productive as trying to get a drink out of a Vogon. "Tech support" phone numbers connect you to an office in India that obviously supports multiple brands and products. The support staff is painfully clueless about the products that they are supposed to be supporting. You can almost see their lips move as they are reading through web based troubleshooting guides. On the plus side they are not aggressively obnoxious.

For that you have to look up a corporate phone number for the company office in Irvine California (949-790-0800 by the way). The personnel at this location are actively hostile to customers. Almost everything that I have been told by these people has turned out to be incorrect.

I have been a network engineer for 15 years now and this is by far the worst technical support that I have ever encountered.

The configuration interface for this device is absolutely awful. The product comes with firmware revision that does not support the bridging function. The only way that I know to find this out is to call tech support. The result of attempting to set the unit as a bridge without upgrading the firmware is to make the unit go into a coma state from which it cannot be recovered.

This is a poorly conceived device with absolutely foul technical support. There is no reason to buy this product that will outweigh the remorse that you will feel once you own it.

This is one consumer hostile company!.......2006-07-09

I have tried repeatedly to contact cust support since their cd software was written impproperly and cannot even be read on a screen---
Without the software you cannot setup this unit for proper operation and their tech support is absolutely clueless and tells you to go to cust support who then tells you to go to tech support

I have been waiting for the antenna, cd and cable that I was supposed to have received with this unit and the hsb1 access point for over 3 months now and call or email at least once every two weks to only be met with frustration and total lack of
civility or knowledge of their product OR the english language and ability to even communicate with rudimentary common english terms

DONT even consider wasting your money on any of this companys products as it is all money down the drain

Awful Tech Support .......2006-05-04

When this thing works, it's fine. But if anything goes wrong, you're SOL.

I had to reset my router, which means it defaults to an unencrypted state. To re-set encryption, you have to go to a web address. The site no longer exists -- or at least it's been down for the past few days. The "24/7" tech support number is a joke -- I've been on hold now for two hours. (I'm on hold as I write this!) I've written e-mail, no response. Are these guys even still in business?

Buyer beware!

Setup is fraught with peril and "reset" may wedge your box........2006-04-12

Setup either requires you to force your machine to the devices subnet - or to run their setup app. Their setup app tries to find the device and allow you to force whatever address you want (or DHCP).

Neither work well on a corporate network - and the direct connect method (direct cable) in their quick start guide is extremely unreliable.

Best is your home network. But their setup app likes to crash.

I only got to the "real" web dialog on the box *once*, set dhcp, and that was the last I talked to the box. I reset it a few times, managing to get the setup exe to "think" it set the IP, but all I ended up getting at this point was a login box that never accepted the login / password.

I believe that the "reset to factory" doesn't work well and may not reset all settings. The box now does show up under dhcp on my router - but with no name. And the login dialog shows "" for the name. So it appears to have lost it's marbles.

I think if you got lucky and set it up it might work - but it would appear if you have to ever reset it during it's convoluted setup procedure that you'd be at risk of getting it into the same
odd state mine is in.

I'm returning it and buying the Belkin F5D7330.

There is no WDS mode...........2005-12-29

If used as an access point, this is a 5 star product. Setup is very easy and coverage is good.

While this product advertises a WDS mode (even in the user's manual) it simply doesn't exist and it can't be used as a repeater. However, when used in conjunction with the HWUR54G range extender, the combo is simply awesome providing an excellent signal everywhere with WPA security.

The nice designs, simple setups, and overall performance of these products will keep me a Hawking Tech fan for some time. I did not use phone support but Tech Support replied to all e-mails to address my questions and/or concerns.

Product Description

It's easy to see why the SyncMaster 700NF is the most advanced screen in the world. The SyncMaster 700NF provides perfectly flat image with none of the distortion due to the advanced panel design of inner curvature. It produces an optically perfect flat image from edge to edge. The SyncMaster 700NF is the top of the line monitor among the 17" monitors, designed by engineers who believe in true precision.SyncMaster 700NF screen gives you accurate, pixel-perfect image reproduction with none of the distortion inherent in typical flat CDT screens. Designed to meet the demands of today's high-end graphics, CAD/CAM, and specialized applications, SyncMaster 700NF has DBF (Dynamic Beam Forming) for improved focus, and a 0.25mm aperture grille pitch for clear reproduction of even the tiniest details.

Amazon.com Product Description

For such a low price, the Samsung 17-inch flat SyncMaster 700NF comes loaded with more features than one might expect from a monitor in its category. Samsung's top-of-the-line 17-inch monitor (16 inches viewable), the 700NF's perfectly flat screen and 1,600 x 1,200 maximum resolution provide excellent image quality. A flat aperture grille, high-contrast ARAS screen coating and low, 0.25-millimeter dot pitch are also welcome features, reducing glare and eyestrain.

Customer Reviews:

Picture tube has a problem.......2002-11-12

My personal experience:
I bought the Samsung SyncMaster 700NF monitor as it had excellent display resolution and I liked it.
The problem:
The display just goes blank, with the picture tube just not working. The LED on the front goes from solid green to blinking yellow.

I have taken this very heavy 40+ lbs monitor back an forth to the Samsung service center 4 times now and this problem has not been fixed, they even gave me a different monitor and this problem still exists. Not a good experience for me. Maybe I got lemons :(

A really good monitor.......2002-04-18

I have had the Samsung SyncMaster700NF for 3 weeks. Quite good one, sharp and accurate color,easy to tune,reasonable price.I bought this model after comparing with other brands (NEC,Viewsonic,Sony),I should say that Sony is the best ,but it does not worth that much,about 50 percent higher price.
The only shortcoming with 700NF is that there are two very thin horizontal lines on the screen it is said normal from the user manul,but they make me uncomfortable.

Best 17" monitor on the market.......2001-09-20

I spent several weeks looking at every 17" monitor I could find in my local electronics chains stores, comparing MAG's, Viewsonics, Phillips, Sonys, NEC's, and a variety of cheaper brands. I have also used Dell, Compaq and Gateway house brand monitors in the past. This Samsung blows them all away in every category. It has the brightest, most vivid and most accurate colors of any monitor I have seen. Its text and other detailed displays are razor sharp and exceptionally readable and easy on the eyes. The screen has a very effective anti-reflective coating; the only minor criticism I have of this monitor is that the anti-glare coating makes the screen a bit difficult to clean. The electronic controls on the pull down control box are easy to use. This monitor is not only a premium performer, but has a reasonable price. You can buy monitors that are more or less expensive than this Samsung, but you can't buy one that has a better display or is a better value. I am more satisfied with this purchase than virtually any other (of several dozen) items of computer or electronic gear I have purchased in the past ten years.

Overall, a great monitor.......2000-11-30

Overall, the monitor is very nice, the screen controls are all located on a retracting panel that is pretty intuitive. I run it at 1280x1024 with 16 bit color. Text is razor sharp and playing Flight Simulator on it will make you feel like you really are flying over the streets of Chicago. It will also display just as fine at 32 bit color, but the human eye can even distinguish beyond 16 bit, so 32 is just a waste of resources. (I will probably hear the wrath of a few die hard gamers over that last statement.) For people with many USB devices, Samsung has also built a USB hub (sold separately) that fits into the base of the monitor. The only two nitpicks I have about the monitor are that it does have a big footprint, I think the casing is a little bit bigger than it needs to be, and for some reason mine has two faint lines (I cant see them unless my nose is touching the screen) running horizontally about 1/3 and 2/3 up from the bottom. Its really only visible fainly when you are looking at something white, and it may be more of a fault of mishandling by UPS, but I just thought I'd share this tidbit, if anyone else has a similar problem, let me know. Other than that, this is a fine monitor, and the three year standard warranty make it a worthwhile purchase.
