:. Samsung SyncMaster 171s LCD

:. Installation .:

The installation was extremely easy. There isn't much to get the monitor all hooked up and running. Thanks to Samsung for making a no-power-brick design all you need to do is take the power cord and connect it to the back and same goes for the input signal cable. Then just connect the input to your video card and the power to the outlet and your all set.


:. Pros and Cons .:

 

:. Pros .:

  • Has features of an expensive monitor
  • Built in power-brick
  • Games look awesome on this LCD
  • No speakers

:. Cons .:

  • Drivers made the image unsuitable in WinXp
  • No DVI input

 

:. Conclusion .:

Overall I was very excited to get this monitor but when I did get it and connected it and started to play around I was just amazed on how awesome LCD's really are. Samsung has ones again shown there detail to quality but for an affordable price on this monitor because not only is the image quality excellent but also the whole package is high quality. I reviewed the silver one but Samsung has also given you the choice of choosing a white one if you rather save some money because the white one is a bit less then this silver one. I hope gamers have a second look at LCD's because I have experienced gaming on a LCD and I can tell you that its just awesome. All those guys talking about how there is ghosting and colors don't show up right have not used a real LCD or have used one that's from the early 90s because I have gone out and looked at other LCDs and I have not noticed anything on them too.
