 My First - A Good Deal! November 6, 2008
Yeah yeah, I had an old tube monitor until now, so this was my very first LCD screen. I did my homework before buying and it paid off. This monitor is great and a good buy. The colors and their adjustments are just fine.
I would definitely go with this Samsung again. It's a really nice product. Cheers!
 Poor stand design trumps good picture quality November 1, 2008
I was excited to get this monitor, then was very disappointed when I set it up. The stand is very wobbly and any little vibration sets it rocking wildly. There is no way to tighten the stand when it's in the desired position. So, put something on the desk, write on the desk, breathe on the screen, sets it moving.
Good screen quality, one stuck pixel (red). Haven't decided whether to return or use as an 'emergency' screen.
 Monitor, per se, very good October 7, 2008
The monitor itself is fine; I would buy one again. Two small concerns, though.
1. The outer box (Amazon's) arrived in bad condition; tape coming off, box partially open. I took photos, expecting to find nothing workable inside. However,the inner box (Samsung's) saved the day, with no damage whatsoever to the monitor.
2. The monitor's stand doesn't tilt. This was something of a disappointment. We were able to put the monitor and stand on something that raises it about 4 inches, so everything's all right. But it's too bad Samsung didn't spend a few cents more on the plastic stand to make it tilt.
Stops working June 16, 2008

I've used the 710N model for 2 years now. This monitor recently stopped working. My computer would be on and then the monitor would go black, the monitor would still be on but nothing shows up on the screen.
I did a search on Google and found that this is a common problem across MANY of the Samsung LCD lines. The solution is to unplug the monitor for 5 minutes and plug it back in. This works, but now the monitor is doing this much more frequently.
It's something with the circuitry. I suppose it was good for 2 years but now I have to buy a new monitor because I can't find the warranty papers.
Buyer beware.
My whole office uses these and they're great! May 19, 2008

My entire office of 300+ people uses these monitors and no one has ever had one break and no one complains about them. They're light, bright, sturdy, and perfect for looking at 40 hours per week.
