Samsung S27A550H Refurbished, wow what a nice led monitor by ceeamerica on amazon.com Jun 11, 2012
Refurbished monitor looks like and performs like new! I could not be happier. I did not install the auto software. I did go to Samsung and get latest driver and firmware. I then tried auto set and was not satisfied so I tweaked the adjustment until I ...
 
Awessome product by jmudd2010 on overstock.com Jan 6, 2012
My husband has been talking about getting a new monitor for awhile. That's when I started researching monitors and then I came across this one. I decided it would be his Christmas present. When he opened it up and realized what it was he was amazed and ...
 
27 inch kicks butt by Tender Meat on tigerdirect.com Nov 29, 2011
Just got done giving this baby a run in some BF3 and wow what a difference from the 24 inch. The monitor is performing flawless after about 2 minutes of tweaking the setting to get it how I want it. If your into gaming I would recommend this for you because ...
 
Best LED Monitor yet. (That i have owned) by Juz10y0 on newegg.com Nov 6, 2011
To all those, giving this a bad review because of the "Black Bars" around your monitor - please know what you are doing before you bad mouth the monitor. All you need to do is make your overscan go to 0% (In your NVIDIA controll panel, or RADEON Control ...
 
Excellent monitor for the price and size. by blacksheep427 on cnet.com Mar 10, 2012
Not much else to say. I still stand by my decision to buy at the price I did. Note, as the review writer has done as well, the stand is quite interesting in design, by virtue of being unique and quite stable. I'd buy it again, if that means anything. ...

Nope, think I got it all out.
 
monitor defective...don't buy this model by Adrienne Rodgers on amazon.com Feb 27, 2012
This monitor was working fine when I first bought it but within a week, the screen started flashing/blinking on and off. The customer service at samsung stepped me through the process to see if the problem was the cables etc and it wasn't (1 hour call). ...
 
Bad stand by alvis2 on overstock.com Feb 1, 2012
Messed with colors and brightness/contrast but never got anything close to my 5 year old Samsung 226bw. And the stand is way under engineered. I have a pretty sturdy desk, but the monitor would wobble at the slightness movement. Super distracting... sorry, pass on this model.
 
Home entertainment, NOT computer monitor by Frankenbike on tigerdirect.com Dec 8, 2011
Ever wonder why you shouldn't just buy an HDTV and plug your computer into it as a regular monitor? Here's why: on HDTVs, the dots are HUGE when viewed close up. They're meant to be viewed from a distance. The first hint, it's HDMI and VGA only, no ...
 
dead in 8 days by N/A on newegg.com Jan 12, 2012
bought this on sale for a great price from a retail store (basically what it costs now but it was $100 more on newegg at the time) and took it home to set it up. long story short it wasn't as simple as just plugging it in like the previous monitor it ...

I had one monitor do the good ol' blinki-failure on me in the first 28 days, so thinking everything was fine I carted it back to Best Buy and took a new one out of the store and went on my merry way...Never have I been slighted so hard by a company whose brand I trusted and recommended more than probably any other as far as displays are concerned, you've made me realize how little the big companies really care...The only bad reveiws come from the defec'd flickering reviews...

Samsung S27A550H 27-inch 1920x1080 LED Monitor (Refurbished) | Overstock.com
Samsung S27A550H 27-inch 1920x1080 LED Monitor is Excellent.The picture is crystal clear ,I strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking for good monitor...Screen is good if you're looking for an HD screen to watch stuff on while sitting in an upright position because the screen is not adjustable and if you sit at a lower angle you will not see the colors as displayed...But my timing was bad and prices went from low to high very quickly after the Holidays and seeing as how the price was only a little over 50% of retail, it was hard to resist taking the chance...

Unless you will be using this on a rock hard surface, I'd recommend that you consider an alternative monitor...If your into gaming I would recommend this for you because I think this is a great size monitor to fully immerse yourself into the games...The 24 inch was good but it just felt too small for me, glad I got this one...

Samsung SyncMaster S27A550H
- Very short ghosting time - Nice design ...- Contrast ratio not as good as other monitors: 640:1 ...Adjusting the colour temperature from 'normal' to 'warm 1' gets rid of that blue tinge and straightens out the gamma curve, but the deltaE score is still 4.0, which won't be good enough for demanding users...That's...

Does anybody have this monitor? I'm just looking for a bit bigger than what I got. Only significant game I play is WoW and COD. No color correction or anything to crazy.
