Samsung SyncMaster S23A750D review: The dark mirror of monitors

Yes, the Samsung SyncMaster S23A750D supports Samsung's proprietary active shutter 3D, but forget about that for a minute. What you should really focus on is its movie and games performance.

Now, not everyone loves glossy screens. As I mentioned before, they can get uber-reflective, particularly during sunny days, and movies or TV shows or games with lots of dark scenes can suffer as a result.

However, the payoff of watching movies on the S23A750D under proper lighting conditions (i.e. at night) is worth any difficulties that sunny days bring.… Read more

Samsung shows off new 2011 monitors

SAN FRANCISCO--Samsung showed off its 2011 monitor lineup and I definitely came away impressed. From movies, to gaming, to professional needs and business, Samsung is swinging a large swath in a very wide arc, but based on my time with its offerings, I can say it is not slipping on quality.

Movies on monitors have never looked this good

There's probably not a better Blu-ray movie than "Avatar" for showing off a high-end HDTV. Samsung obviously knows this, and upon walking into the company's PR office meeting room, those lovable blue ThunderCats, as rendered on the T27A950, immediately caught my eye.

The 27-inch, 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution T27A950 is Samsung's high-end HDTV/monitor hybrid, optimized for HD movie playback. The monitor uses a Twisted Nematic (TN) panel, and while its TN roots are apparent thanks to its narrow viewing angles, when viewed straight on the movie looked stunningly impressive, with very deep blacks and vibrant color.

Samsung used its highest-quality TN panel for the T27A950 and credits its great movie playback performance to a combination of panel tech, optimizations made by Samsung engineers, and its use of Ultra Clear Panel technology. … Read more

2011 Samsung monitor preview: 3D gets a brand-new bag

Samsung was one of the standout monitor vendors of CES 2011. The company demoed some high-quality, aesthetically pleasing offerings, and although we gave these a cursory look when they were announced, we've had time since then to gather additional information and will be taking a closer at the company's early 2011 monitor lineup this week. Today we take a deeper look at its planned 3D monitors.

This year, Samsung will launch the 950 and 750 in a number of configurations, including both normal monitor versions and HDTV/monitor hybrid versions at 23- and 27-inch screen sizes. All permutations … Read more

Samsung debuts new 3D monitors

LAS VEGAS--For the past few years, PC enthusiasts have had few options when choosing a stereoscopic 3D-capable monitor. For the most part, if you were exposed to any 3D content on the PC, it was Nvidia's 3D Vision Kit that facilitated that exposure. Today, there's a new player in town.

On Wednesday, Samsung announced a new line of 3D monitors using its own proprietary 3D technology, eschewing Nvidia's. Samsung's SA950 and SA750 are the first monitors to take advantage of this tech.

Each monitor includes a unique aesthetic design, especially in the case of the SA950, … Read more
