I love this monitor!
By Ander
Most user reviews of monitors say, "I looked at a lot of monitors..." Well, I've been looking at LCD monitors ever since they came out---o when I finally convinced my wife that we should move into the 21st century and replace our CRT, I knew quite a bit about LCD's!I chose the 710N because it had the best combination of clarity, color, speed, and price. I haven't regretted it for a moment---it's an absolute joy. It looks every bit as good as the Sony my friend paid considerably more for.Some people have complained that they couldn't find the model with the ivory frame, just the black. This boggles me. When you're looking at your desktop, a video, etc., why do you want a light-colored frame distracting you? (It makes as much sense to me as people who buy certain computers because the cases come in cute candy colors---but anyway...) Considering that you're focusing on the monitor's display, not the frame, I feel the frame should be as unobtrusive as possible. On the 710N, even the controls are smoothly integrated into the frame's bottom edge. It's as elegantly neutral a design as you'll find.If you're shopping for your first LCD monitor, or upgrading from an older one, I don't think this great monitor will disappoint you.

Don't use this monitor for gaming
By C. Bruns
If, like me, you enjoy playing a variety of computer games, don't get this monitor. With a large number of games, the monitor "complains" about the resolution. The monitor is plainly able to display a variety of resolutions just fine, but it plasters a banner in the middle of the the screen that says "Not Optimal Mode. Use 1280x1024 @60Hz". After two minutes, the screen goes blank. If you turn the monitor off, then on, you get another two minutes. If you wish to remove the banner from the middle of the screen, press the "brightness" button, then the "menu" button. But you still only get two minutes of viewing time. This problem so completely trumps any considerations of clarity, contrast ratio, and brightness that I won't bother mentioning those minor criteria. I HATE this monitor because it can display all video signals just fine, it simply CHOOSES not to!

By M. Domyan
I did a lot of research before I bought this Samsung 710.Read all the reviews and then sought out the cheapest price for it. I went into my local Staples store and the color and word text was incredible against the others I was comparing too.Amazon comes through again with a great deal at the time and free shipping! Bonus is NO TAX either!I had a 15" Gateway that died and that was not quite 2 years old. They only have a 1 year warranty so I was out of luck. Samsung has a 3 year so that's is why I went with them.I did experience eye strain at first but that has long been gone. I am assuming from the brightness (not used to that with the Gateway I guess!) and toned it down some.
