Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Samsung 171V Black LCD Monitor with 1280X1024 Resolution by Kris Ragusa

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good but not the best

I bought a Syncmaster 171v about a month ago. Installation with the included software CD went smoothly and the display so far is crisp and clear. Most applications and games look fine on it. A higher contrast ratio of 400:1 makes text and graphics appear clearer. Either way, it's a lot better than my previous 17-inch Samsung CRT monitor. On the downside, however, the included Natural Color software module is a bit confusing to get the best settings. This means that colors don't appear fully saturated. enough. Another problem is that my external TV tuner (PAL based) is not compatible with it (although it worked fine with previous CRTs). I don't know if I'm the only one facing this problem. I can recommend this LCD. Monitor for everyone who loves a good, stable display and doesn't want the best and therefore more expensive :-)

Pros
  • VGA
Cons
  • Too bright in the dark
