Recently bought this monitor for my game computer. An excellent choice - arrived with no damage in a reasonable time. Picture is fantastic; however, I had to upgrade the video card. For a TPlus under $1000, including shipping an excellent buy. I highly recommend this product and the store.

I am writing this review using my 19" crt monitor. The Samsung 275T monitor is excellent for many tasks but has deficiencies for general purpose use.
Image quality is great and the monitor does everything I wanted, but a 27" monitor that wants to run on 1920 x 1200 resolution is not a good solution for many tasks. For watching movies or photo editing, all that real estate is great but for a single browser or page of text there is too much glare from the unused space and the options for selecting resolution are limited.
This monitor is demanding. I had a FX5200 video card (I'm not a gamer). Resolution reported as 1920 x 1200 but the aspect ratio was incorrect. Everything was 20% wider than it should have been and the desktop scrolled (The start button and the taskbar could not be displayed at the same time.
Tech support at Samsung had shipped a new monitor for replacement.
There was a second problem which I was sure was caused by the video card. There was horizontal tearing in the raster after abrupt image changes, image edges, large text etc. The video card was just not rendering fast enough to keep up.
So I bought the fastest AGP video card I could find. When it was installed, both problems disappeared and I canceled the replacement monitor.
Some reviews have commented on noise from 245T and 275T monitors. My monitor is silent and has no dead or stuck pixels. The image can be viewed from extreme angles without image deterioration.
