This bad boy is capable of the highest form of high definition available for nearly all media on the marketplace. It has a 5ms response time. It supports both HDMI and DVI inputs. This is nice because most graphic cards use DVI connectors while most Blu-Ray, Playstation, and other peripherals use HDMI. It also has a very elegant design that can be found on all Samsung Touch of Color sets along with their 'touch' power button.The only real downside to this set is that the contrast ratio is 1000:1. Fortunately I have yet to notice any type of problems at all. I use the monitor for both PC Gaming (A LOT!) and TV/Movies. It seems to display blacks and brights without any issue at all. The color is spot on of course and there are several different presets straight out of the box.
I set a custom preset and could not be happier with it. I have never had to fiddle with the controls and the entire setup seems very intuitive. Un-boxing was trivial and the unit was powered on within minutes. The remote control that comes with it is pretty standard and works well.
My cousin is a stalwart believer in Samsung and has converted me to the evil that is foreign goods. Everything I purchase I attempt to make sure it was made in the US. I say attempt because sometimes it's either not worth it or you can't find it made in the US. The good news about this set? It was made right here in the continental United States in a factory operated by Americans. Ok, I don't feel so bad buying it now.
