Amazon.com Product Description

Some monitors are serious workhorses, some are frilly playboys, and some, like the SDM-HX73, strike exactly the right balance. Supplying digital and analog data transfer (and including the necessary cables for both), you'll find all your images improved, from family movies to complex video games and web sites, thanks to vividly contrasting colors, smooth video transfer, and impressively fast response.

The monitor also does an excellent job with serious tasks. A native resolution of 1,280 x 1,024, fine 0.264 mm dot pitch, 500:1 contrast ratio, and 400 nits of brightness work together behind the scenes to provide cleanly legible graphics and text that will keep you reading comfortably for hours. Sony's optimization technology automatically adjusts the screen to varying lighting conditions, while Automatic ImageSet keeps the display set precisely the way you like it.

A softly curved base and shimmering frame create a subtle backdrop, outlining the display without detracting from the work at hand. Sony backs the display with a three-year warranty covering parts, labor, and backlight.

3 year warranty defined
I've had my Sony monitor about a year and a half.Worked fine up until that time when it started getting wavy vertical lines which soon covered most of the screen, making it impossible to view.I contacted Sony about replacing or fixing it.Basically the 3 year warranty gets you a refurbished model to take the place of the one you have.I won't mention the amount of time spent on hold listening to music and stepping through the symptoms before the tech decides, it doesn't work properly.Unfortunately, the refurbished model arrived yesterday, worked for about 4 hours and now it goes blank like it's going into sleep mode.You can revive it by pressing the power button off then back on.Except that it doesn't last more than a few seconds now.Oh well, guess I call back, spend more time on hold and explaining why this one doesn't work properly and get another 'used' model to replace this one.In the meantime, I plug in my 7 year old Gateway 2000 Vivitron and it works fine, just takes up desk space.Just thought you'd want to know what a Sony 3 year warranty actually provides.

Balanced, and then some...
This LCD is an excellent combination of a reasonable price point ..., beautiful design, and excellent performance.

We replaced a 21" hulk of a CRT with this and, to say the least, it has redefined our workspace.My wife raves about the clarity and brightness of the picture, which she uses almost every night to edit legal documents for work.This is an excellent monitor for every day web-browsing, documents, or spreadsheets.I have made the switch from CRT to LCD and won't be going back.

Another benefit of this monitor is the faster-than-normal response time of 16ms - most monitors are in the 24ms range.I have read reviews of another LCD that has a 12ms response but it wasn't borne out in the reviewer's testing with 3d action games.Using the DVI input, I have played a few levels of 'Call of Duty' on this monitor and noted no ghosting or lagging on the response time, and I'll also add that the sound quality of the speakers at the bottom of the monitor are above-average for what I've personally heard from monitor or desk top speakers.That being said, if you use your computer almost exclusively for FPS gaming this probably isn't your solution...

The styling is very unique, with a swooping stand that is a departure from other LCD's.It does seem that there is more unused space bordering the actual screen than other monitors in this class, however. ... Read more

Great TV!
This is a really nice little LCD TV.I'm using it in my kitchen and love it.Great, clear picture and takes up very little space.Very pleased with this.

get real, you can't get it that way
Don't make the same mistake I did! I signed up for one of those get-Samsung-LCD TV-free "offers" that are continually being posted here.

Within one day, I received over 200 spam emails and 15 telemarketing calls. What a pain. I guess there really is something to the saying "you can't get something for nothing".

I hope everybody here will learn from my extremely bad experience and avoid these ridiculous pyramid schemes.

Great for car and using with Xbox, playstation game systems
I was looking for a 13 to 15" LCD screen to hook-up to my son's XBox gaming system for traveling in the car.Now they can play XBox games, and, along with the XBox-DVD-player/remote the kids can also watch DVD movies.Compared to other automotive solutions that are sold for DVD movie/gaming combinations .... I think that this just might be the ultimate solution.I plan to "securely hang" the Samsung SyncMaster 510MP 15" LCD Monitor between and behind the 2 front seats of my minivan.They'll be able to play dual or split-screen type of video games such as Halo.Watching movies from the 3rd row of seats will also be possible.Basically the Samsung SyncMaster 510MP 15" LCD Monitor is plug and play for hooking up to the XBox or Playstation; just plug the video/audio inputs - yellow, red and white into the matching female holes in the SyncMaster 510MP.Nothing else is required other than having a "power converter" to plug-in the monitor and the game system.

Works Well as Both an XGA PC Monitorand LCD TV
I bought the 510MP to use as a backup PC monitor and as a LCD TV.It works well in both roles.It is an exceptionally good PC monitor with a clear picture and good color.There was also no need to install any video drivers since it is a plug and play device in Windows XP.There is no printed user manual.The manual is contained on a CD ROM as a PDF document.At first, I couldn't get all TV channels available on my local cable.The manual didn't make it clear that the cable setting was "STD," not the default "ANT/CATV".Changing this setting and doing a auto programming fixed the problem.The TV picture is good, but not quite as good as when used as a PC monitor.The remote control is one of the small ones like you would find for a Bose radio, but fully functional.I currently have the 510PM connected to both my PC and the cable TV and can switch between the two by just hitting the source button on the remote.

Great tv!
This is a great tv, its perfect for the kitchen or bathroom, or anywhere you want a tv that doesn't have a lot of space.The picture is great, it looks awesome with my dvd player, and looks great with my cable as well. ... Read more

Good buy
I bought this monitor in May. The only issue was single faulty pixel (it couldn't turn off, and would always show blue, but would not show up if any composite color, like white, was needed). I haven't seen a need to return it because the colors are bright and vivid, games and movies play fine, and the monitor looks great.

The design itself is very sleek, the buttons are very subtle and out of the way. This can be annoying when initially setting it up, but after adjusting the brightness, the buttons just disappear into the thin bezel.

I paid around $500 (after shipping) for this; it's a great monitor, and would be a bargain at that price or less.

Awsome product, best purchase since a long time.
I was using two laptop computers and sinec I work on them all day (one Apple, one Dell), after 8+ hours of use, my eye were always irritated in the evening (the worse one to use is a dell laptop, very bad screen).My vision in the left eye actually dropped of 0.75 after using that dell laptop screen for 3 months.

Then, I bouth the samsung 172x lcd display, and it's incredible.I plug the two laptops with the lit closed to both DVI and RGB input on the display, so I can switch between them with just a button click on the monitor.The image is superb, no visible ghosting, NO dead pixels (after a month os use so far), and it's so relaxing for my eyes, they don't hurt at ALL anymore.It's like using your computer for the first time, it's the most healthy purchase I done with computer equipment.

I was so happy with it, I bought another samsung monitor for my wife, and then again, no dead pixels, I'm very pleased with the quality of the monitors, I recommand them to everyone.I now think that amonitor is the best investment you can do with a computer, don't risk your eye sight!

Buy Samsung at your own RISK
I bought a Samsung flat-panel television in March, and it the panel went dead in April.I brought it to a one of Samsung's certified dealers for repair, and waited and waited. Finally in May, I was told that the the television panel was indeed defective and couldn't be fixed, so the manufacturer was obligated to replace it under the warranty.It's now September, and guess what, I'm still waiting for the replacement.Buy from Samsung at your own risk.From my own experience, Samsung does stand by their products. For a few dollars more, buy one of the better, more reliable brands.

The 'x' stands for extraordinary, and expensive
I just fired up this monitor three days ago and I don't want to leave my office.I am a regular windows user and semi-technical person.Not a certifiable geek.This review is from the perspective of a 39 yo guy who loves using computers but wouldn't build his own and isn't an overclocker.

There are many reviews that you can read on the net that cover this monitor from a gaming perspective.Initially these reviews panned the Samsung 172x for ghosting and blurring during game play.

Don't pay too much attention to these reviews.Apparently that was due to Samsung shipping models that had a 25ms response time.The version that you will receive has a 12 or 13ms response time.That means it is practically as good as any CRT you can buy.Color saturation and crispness is incredible.This the case whether you hook this up with the VGA cord or, if you are equipped with an advanced video card, DVI.Both are supported and you can switch between them.There are no hookups for S-video, cable or component video.Do not plan to put this in your kitchen to watch tv.This is meant to be hooked up to a computer.

This is the most beautiful consumer product that I have bought in some time.The thin bezel, the slim, narrow dimensions, the way the cords can be hidden so they don't clutter up your desk.This is one beautiful monitor.

If you want to buy a great LCD monitor for your office and are willing to pay $600 More than the typical 17" LCD by at least $100), buy this thing.You will not be disappointed.

It's not that special
Although Samsung claims a revolutionary 12ms response time the overall gaming experience was no better than a 2 year old 15" TN+film Samsung Syncmaster 151S.I'm not using the bogus PVA-based sample either, this review is based on a retail version purchased in Taiwan.

What IS most disturbing about this display is that out of the box: 1. whites are WAY too blue (probably 10,000K) and 2. the internal gamma circuitry is set way too high.You can fix problem 1 only in analog mode because the color temperautre controls are completely disabled in DVI, and problem 2 can only be remedied if your video card drivers support gamma correction.On my system I had to lower the gamma to around 0.65 to produce a similar image to the old 151S.

If you video card drivers don't support gamma correction, don't get this display, because everything will be permanently washed out.If your video card drivers don't support indenpdent RGB color correction, and you want to use DVI, don't get this display, because your display will be permanently blue.

Other than that, it's a great display... bright, vivid, decent blacks, and to my eyes, extremely minimal ghosting. ... Read more

Loved mine for 6 years.
I had this monitor for 6 years. It worked great, looked great, everyone who saw it wanted one. Last night it died : (. It was acting funny during the day, flickering and stuff. It made some really weird sounds and went black. I was talking on the phone and ignored it, then I smelled it. It was glowing orange inside and everything was melting (I assume, from the smell). I'm sad. I loved my monitor. ... Read more

Too much wrong...
This has the potential to be a real unique and useful product.2 video inputs, 1 SVGA, 1 SVHS, and a touch screen to boot.
There was one "bright" pixel upon turn on.Video inputs and VGA worked well.This is made in China and the translated manual is not good.The website you're told to go to for new drivers (Which you will need because the originals locked up the computer (XP SP2)) are in Chinese... not so bad until you click on the "English" icon and the "404, not found" (also in Chinese) displays.You have to click on icons until you find the correct "English" URL, it's there, you have to perform trial and error to find it.These loaded the correct touchpad drivers (not signed for XP, but seem to work ok).I've had the monitor for a day and will have installed in the car for DVD's and Computer GPS tomorrow.I hope it's robust enough for that environment.It does come with a lighter attachment for 12v use. fingers crossed. ...

Portable portable PORTABLE!!!
This is (AFAIK) the only portable LCD monitor on the market, and it is truly PORTABLE, as in designed to be that way. When the base folds down, the whole monitor and power supply easily fit in a 16 inch or 17 inch sized notebook case!!! This particular feature (portability) should be emphasized, as it is AWESOME for people who want a portable, UPGRADEABLE system. (Notebooks are portable, but they are also expensive and NOT upgradeable). So you can get an SFF case (antec aria for example) and build yourself a powerful desktop system that fits in two small bags!!!

My nephew has this monitor and it is a great gaming monitor with AWESOME picture quality. It's a little expensive for a 15 inch monitor, so if you don't need something portable, you might want to upgrade to a 17 inch for about the same amount of money. But it is a great deal, considering the outstanding picture quality and portability. -Dave

Perfect picture
This is a GREAT monitor at any price.I recently built a system for my brother and bought a cheap flat-panel MAG monitor to go with it.Well, the color produced on the MAG was all washed out.And if you looked at it at any angle other than straight on, it was much much worse.Which is typical for flat-panels, but on the MAG is was excessive.

I took it back and carefully looked at all the flat panels, and this NEC was the ONLY one that looked great at every angle.And the color reproduction is simply jaw dropping.DVDs look great, games play great, and it's real easy on the eyes.

If you want great graphics at pretty good price, this is the one to get! ... Read more

dot pitch value is misleading
They give you the dot pitch in horizontal measurements, not diagonal. This monitor might be fine for playing first person shooters, but for any sort of graphic design work, it's useless.There's bad moire on both sides, and any fine text looks very grainy.I tried two of them, thinking I may have just gotten a bad one, but no. I have a 17" flatscreen compaq running at 1200x1024 and the text looks at least 3 times better.This monitor maybe worth 170 bucks, but not to me. I'm returning it. The color is pretty great, the size (as small a footprint as a 17") is also nice, but I can't hack the text resolution.

Noise Unbearable
As reported by some others, my monitor also delivers the same unbearable high pitched noise intermittently. Too bad because an otherwise great monitor for your money.

High pitched noise...
I am having the same problem as the earlier reviewer.Intermittent high pitched noise from this monitor.

The monitor is stylish, decent picture, but unless you are deaf or enjoy returning this noise making monitor for warranty repair you might want to consider another manufacturer.

It is ashame that Samsung hasn't fixed this issue...Haven't run into a similar problem since back in 1995 with a CTX monitor.You would think companies would learn by now...

B rating for display, A for style and footprint and F for noise.

Unfortunately the noise is really annoying and the until didn't make any for the first 2 1/2 months.

Samsung 997DF Review:
The image quality is overall extremely good.The only thing I don't like is the bright colors tend to bleed over into any large black areas on the screen.That really sucks..

Other than that though, it is worth the money.It looks crisp, has a high refresh rate capability to keep your eyes healthy, and supports high resolutions.

It also only consumes 100 watts of power, which is nice.

I hope Samsung fixes that bleeding problem.My Dad's Samsung 955DF doesn't have that problem.Then again, this monitor is pretty bright, his isn't as much.

After shopping for a crt monitor ,asking the usual questions,what is the dot pitch,resolution,menu adjustments etc.I decided on this model. Reason price.At $179.00 a 19" comparible model ran approx. $159 to $279. This model has all the features,color adj,20dot pitch,max res, you could want.It came with software so your printer will print the exact color on the screen,not only that but it adjusts to your lighting conditions.The screen is clear ,crisp,and amzingly sharp.So for $179.00 for a 19" you cant go wrong.Thats just my opinion. ...

Fast Response?
How does 20 ms rising, 30 ms falling qualify as Fast Response times? The standard for games and video is 25 ms combined !

Great display despite the low price!
I highly recommend these monitors; I just got two, and out of the two only one of them has a single dead pixel (stuck on greeen), the other one's perfect. I don't think it can get much better for the price. Somebody else commented on text shadowing - I don't have any of that, and I'm running them on an ATI Radeon 9000. Perhaps they're a bit bright, but they're completely adjustable.

Great for the money!
This monitor is awesome for the money!The guy who was complaining about the text and all that obviously had a [bad] video card.My sister bought one, and she had a cheap video card and her computer did the same thing this other guy is describing (shadow text, strange artifacts, etc.).Once I put in a good video card (i.e.-more than $50-75 bucks), it worked extremely well (and she has a tough time with most monitors).This is my current monitor and will be for a long time (until I can afford a 24" LCD with amazing resolution).

Love the size, but...
Well, I plunged into the LCD market for my desktop machine and purchased this monitor from Amazon.I love the size of the display and the quick power (no warming up like the old CRT) and I also liked the ease of adjusting the display with the AUTO mode being perfect.My main reasons for a low rating include the text shadowing on Win2kPro which wasn't correctable, although I managed to get used to it and probably could have managed if that alone was the issue.The critical issue was the screen jitters - while the text was shadowed, the text moving on the screen is very annoying and causes additional eye strain.This wasn't an issue for the games, those worked fine or the movement was unnoticed, but for programming work, it really hurt the eyes.I am sad to see it go because the size and color was awesome and I have to go back to a 17" crt which is really 16" display, until I find a unit which doesn't suffer from these issues.

Impressive for the $$
Love the look and size.Built in speakers are comparable to laptop speakers... not worth using.Make sure you're ok with the recommended 1280 x1024 resolution and 60 hertz refresh rate...other settings will decrease picture quality.The color, brightness and contrast look great.Good quality for the price.Impressive overall. ...
