Fast with shortcomings
By cmastro
The 730B is very bright and responsive, no doubts about that. There is essentially no difference between a CRT monitor and this screen when it comes to speed. Colors are vivid and the screen can be set to be very bright; black is deep and not washed out.My unit has a rather noticeable vertical gradient (colors are a bit washed out at the bottom, and a bit darker a the top of the screen). The top and bottom edges of the screen also show "arcs" of backlight, which are annoying when watching widescreen movies (the black bands at the top and bottom of the frame are not completely black).The viewing angle is acceptable horizontally (a yellow cast is detectable when off-center) and vertically (a darkening is detectable when off-center); viewing does extend to the claimed 160 degrees, but at the expense of image quality.Unlike what Samsung says on its website, this model does not come with a DVI cable in the box (at least in the USA), only with a VGA cable.Recommended as a "value" screen, but only when backed by a substantial price rebate.

Excellent LCD Monitor
By N. Clark
This monitor is yet another example of Samsung quality.The bang for your buck factor is high, especialy now that the price has gone down (this product is being discontinued). The montior supports XVGA and DVI, making it very versitile. It has plenty of brightness, good pixel pitch and a quick 8ms response time. The "auto configure" mode for color and brightness work very well.This monitor has an excellent viewing angle, and little distortion. Some other reviewers complained of gradiation of pixel color - this is a factory defect and they should have their monitor replaced! Since the monitor comes with a 3 year warranty from Samsung, this is no problem at all.It is pleasing to look at; a thin bezel and hidden buttons add to the pannel's thinness. The monitor is non-glare, which makes life much easier for your eyes. It is a bit on the expensive side compared to "budget" LCD monitors, but you get what you pay for.

By S. Kim
I just got the LCD monitor I wanted. Screen is very crisp, crystal clear, response is very fast: a DVD runs smoothly; I am not a game mania, so I can't tell how fast the monitor is responding under gaming circumstances. the monitor seems to satisfy all the requirements I want. Before I got the monitor, I did research on several internet on-line sellers and their reviews. It was quite difficult which monitor is good for me. Differnt people says differently about a monitor. However, in common, they say, all LCD monitors are much better with DVI connection to PC, if the monitor has the DVI option. Unfortunately my computer does not have a DVI input; it means that it does not have a graphic card. First,before I purchased the monitor, I got PowerColor Radeon 9250 DDR graphic card. And then I tested the graphic card with my old CRT, there seems to be a little bit enhancement of image quality. And then, I got the Syncmaster 730b; the result seems to be a perfect match. The monitor automatically goes into Digital mode and comes up with very clear image under maximum resolution (1280+1024 pixels).
