Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
A 17-inch LCD monitor from Samsung, the 710N-2 has a sleek, space-saving design and a high-quality image that's ideal for both home and office applications. With its small 14.6-by-6.9-inch footprint, the unit fits easily into your existing computing setup, while VESA 100 mm wall-mount compatibility allows you to free up valuable desktop space for other uses.
Wide 160-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles ensure visibility from nearly anywhere in the room, and an ultra-thin 0.6-inch bezel makes this monitor a perfect choice for multiple monitor setups. With a 1,280 x 1,024 maximum resolution and 0.264 mm dot pitch, onscreen images are crisp and true-to-life. A high 600:1 contrast ratio and 300 cd/m2 of brightness result in rich graphics and easy-to-read text, even in viewing environments with strong ambient lighting.
Connectivity is provided via a 15-pin D-sub analog port, while plug-and-play compatibility makes connecting your monitor to your computer a quick and simple process. The 710N-2 supports over 16.2 million display colors, and an ultra-fast 12 ms response time accurately and reliably reproduces motion video and motion graphics. Energy Star compliant, the unit consumes a maximum of 34 watts of power and weighs a mere 9.9 pounds. Compatible with PC, Mac, and Sun Microsystem operating systems, the 710N-2 also comes backed with a three-year parts, labor, and backlight warranty.

State of the Art Monitor,
By
This review is from: Samsung SyncMaster 710N-2 17" LCD Flat Panel Monitor (Black) (Electronics)
I have had this monitor for several months now and I believe it to be the best computer investment I have made in years.
What I like: - Saves your eyes (Definitely puts less strain on my eyes than my old 21" CRT after hours in front of the PC) - Small footprint (huge space saving) - Thin bezel (frame around screen) - Sharp image - Easy to install and use - Generally sharp looking screen design - Last but not least the 3yrs warranty (where else can you get that?) Disadvantages: - The stand does not have much swiveling adjustments - The stand cannot be adjusted vertically - Some screen designs out there look more appealing but the 710n-2 surpasses them technologically. (See below) LCD monitors have obvious advantages over CRT monitors: -LCD monitors consume less power -Do not produce electromagnetic radiation as CRTs do -Do not flicker like CRTs -Produce a sharper image (especially with text) -Are light and slim in size -Have a full viewable size LCD monitors also have disadvantages compared to CRT monitors: -LCD monitors do not show consistent brightness and color shades as your viewing angle shifts -Are slower in responding to image changes wich means movies or games visual quality is affected. Choosing an LCD with a low response time should correct this issue however. The technical specs of this monitor make it one of the best -if not the best- ones out there. Please compare its technical specs, line to line, with the competition and see for yourself. Here are a few hints: -Dot pitch is the size of the individual pixels that make up the screen, the smaller the dot pitch, the better the details' quality. Samsung 710N-2 = 0.264 mm Competition > 0.284mm -Contrast ratio: This spec is really irrelevant; it measures the difference between the darkest and the lightest areas of a test screen. Above 300:1 is considered good. Samsung 710N-2 = 600:1 Competition >450:1 -Viewing angle (Horizontal and Vertical): Not important, unless you intend to watch your monitor by sitting at an angle to it (i.e. presentations for a group). A bigger angle is a plus Samsung 710N-2 Horizontal viewing angle: 160 degrees Vertical viewing angle: 140 degrees -Response time: A hidden but revealing spec. It measures the response time to image changes, the smaller the response time the better off you are watching movies and playing games. Samsung 710N-2 = 12 ms Competition > 16ms -Brightness: A measure of screen luminance or brightness, it is an indication of a pleasing image under all ambient light conditions. Samsung 710N-2 = 300 nits Competition = 250-300 nits I hope this review will help you decide which monitor to buy.

Samsung makes some of the best flat panel monitors,
By Erin (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung SyncMaster 710N-2 17" LCD Flat Panel Monitor (Black) (Electronics)
I did alot of comparative shopping and watched LCD prices drop over the last few months. I got an excellent price on this monitor. My friend has a slightly older Samsung LCD and the clearity of the display impressed me. This monitor is no acception. It's stylish looking and doesn't take up alot of deskspace, but more importantly it has features to make it a worthwhile purchase. It's got a 12 ms response time, a 600:1 contrast ratio and 1280 x 1024 max resolution. Comparing this to my economy priced philips 17 in CRT (107s) is not even possible. I havent done any gaming with this monitor yet, but with 12 ms response time their should be no ghosting. Most LCDs are 25ms or 16ms, but Samsung provices 12 ms with this model. More of an issue for gamers, but certainly not a bad thing for the rest of us. DVDs look sharp and crisp. The adjustment menu allows for diff color modes, entertainment, internet, custom and a couple others. A useful feature as for typing I like to tone down my monitor's brightness to save my eyes. The menu selection keys are sort of hidden in the right hand lower corner, which although some people say is inconvenient, takes little getting used to. The menu is intuitive and easy to use. You also get 3 year parts and labor coverage + 3 months for returning your product registration.
The only cons I can think of are fairly superficial. The power cord is only partially hidden by the back part of the stand, while older samsung models mask the entire cord. The model is not available in silver, but the black is still really sharp looking. The stand is limited to tilting the monitor up or down. Some monitors on the market allow you to adjust height and swivel, for me this is not a concern as I wouldnt use this feature. This monitor is recommended to anyone looking to upgrade to an LCD. It saves deskpace and has excellent image quality.

Unresponsive customer service,
By birdy176 (Langlois, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung SyncMaster 710N-2 17" LCD Flat Panel Monitor (Black) (Electronics)
What seems to be my monitor was dumped by Fed Ex on the lane leading to my house in a rainstorm and found by a neighbor next day. My contacts with Amazon have earned me nothing but scant promises to make amends.
My account doesn't even show that I ever ordered although I have a confirmed order number. As an old customer I should not have to hang on the phone or send e-mails that elicit canned responses. My low rating was censored by Amazon and thus I assigned it five stars as a test to see if that would be aprroved by the censors.
