The Samsung SyncMaster S27B970 monitor in its testing environment (pictures)
We caught the Samsung SyncMaster S27B970 monitor in its natural habitat: in the monitor test lab.
 |
| The Samsung SyncMaster S27B970 nails it in performance and looks, but asks a hefty price. If you're OK with that price, you won't be disappointed. |
 |
| Samsung keeps things simple and clean. |
 |
| Not the thinnest profile, but I wouldn't call it fat, either. But, that's mostly because of the monitor's low self-esteem. |
 |
| The saucer section -- I mean, the foot stand is pretty unique-looking. |
 |
| The OSD array features small, but pretty buttons. |
 |
| The ports from left: USB upstream, DisplayPort, DVI, and HDMI. Plugging DisplayPort in isn't a problem. It's when attempting to remove the cable that the real fun begins. |
 |
| This. This is why we can't have nice things. The space between the DisplayPort release button and the monitor is too narrow for a finger to get in. So, for this poor DisplayPort cable, we had to get a little rough. |
 |
| Two USB downstream ports on the side of the foot stand. Convenient. |
