We regularly see large, high quality&#013;<br \/>\nmonitors for less than \u00a3300. The Samsung S27C750P, an exceedingly smart 27-inch&#013;<br \/>\nmonitor with a pivot stand, is at the top end of this price bracket \u2013 does it&#013;<br \/>\ndo enough to justify the price tag?<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p><h3>Samsung S27C750P \u2013&#013;<br \/>\nDesign<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>If you care as much about the appearance of your monitor&#013;<br \/>\nas its actual quality, the Samsung SC750 is the monitor for you. Its minimalist stand&#013;<br \/>\nand case is refined and classy \u2013 it wouldn\u2019t look out of place in a swanky&#013;<br \/>\nLondon office. A segment at the back snaps off to create a neat cable tidy&#013;<br \/>\ncompartment \u2013 it\u2019s fiddly to use but you\u2019ll only use it once.<\/p>\n<p><\/img><\/p>\n<p><p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just style over substance, either, as the&#013;<br \/>\nmonitor pivots so you can use it in portrait mode. The action is smooth and&#013;<br \/>\nresistance-free and the cable tidy is smartly positioned so the cables don\u2019t&#013;<br \/>\nimpede switching from landscape to portrait and back.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no height adjustment, but the Samsung S27C750P is&#013;<br \/>\nlarge enough that it sits at a comfortable height by default.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p><h3>Samsung S27C750P \u2013&#013;<br \/>\nSetup<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t come pre-assembled, but attaching the base to&#013;<br \/>\nthe main stem of the monitor is easy enough. More important, the Samsung&#013;<br \/>\nS27C750P comes out of box well-calibrated \u2013 a little tweaking of contrast and&#013;<br \/>\nbrightness is worthwhile and setting the HDMI Black Level to \u2018Normal\u2019 is a&#013;<br \/>\nmust, but you won\u2019t waste a lot of time tweaking unless you\u2019re that way inclined.<\/p>\n<p><\/img><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>If you do want to tweak, the controls and OSD are good&#013;<br \/>\nenough but a little fiddly as the menu system is cramped entirely into the bottom&#013;<br \/>\ncorner. We love the fact it auto seeks for the active input, however, as this&#013;<br \/>\nsaves a lot of tedious button prodding. <\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p><h3>Samsung S27C750P \u2013&#013;<br \/>\nConnectivity<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s tempting to criticise the connectivity on the SC750&#013;<br \/>\nas it only has two HDMI ports and a VGA port. But for most people this is ample&#013;<br \/>\n\u2013 it\u2019s enough for a PC and a games console, for example. Most MacBook owners&#013;<br \/>\nwill yearn after a DisplayPort input, but the SC750 is no worse than rivals in&#013;<br \/>\nthe connectivity stakes. <\/p>\n<p><\/img><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>There are no speakers (no great loss), but there is a&#013;<br \/>\nheadphone jack so you can pipe the audio from an HDMI connection out to some&#013;<br \/>\nspeakers or headphones. <\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p><h3>Samsung S27C750P \u2013&#013;<br \/>\nImage Quality<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s little to fault in the monitor&#8217;s image quality. Colours are&#013;<br \/>\nrich, blacks deep and clean, and the SC750 resolves plenty of detail in subtly&#013;<br \/>\nlit scenes and photos. Whether you\u2019re watching an HD film, viewing and editing&#013;<br \/>\nphotos or playing games, you\u2019ll be delighted by the vibrancy and high contrast&#013;<br \/>\npictures. We also like the fact it has an anti-glare, rather than reflective&#013;<br \/>\nglass, finish. Glass finishes can make videos and games look better, but to our&#013;<br \/>\nminds the trade-off isn\u2019t worth it. <\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>The backlight is, by and large, even, though there is&#013;<br \/>\nsome backlight clouding around the bottom two corners. This means you\u2019ll notice&#013;<br \/>\nslightly brighter segments, particularly when watching videos with black bars.&#013;<br \/>\nIt\u2019s not a big issue, but pickier buyers \u2013 especially those after the utmost in&#013;<br \/>\naccuracy \u2013 should be wary.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>The only other concern is, like most LCD screens, slow panning shots betray the usual, slightly jerky tearing motion typical&#013;<br \/>\nof this screen technology. Top-end TVs alleviate this with lots of expensive&#013;<br \/>\nprocessing chips, but the Samsung SC750 lacks such niceties. <\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p><h3>Best Samsung&#013;<br \/>\nS27C750P alternatives<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>The biggest problem with the SC750 is simply the&#013;<br \/>\nalternatives available to it. For example, anyone who just wants the biggest,&#013;<br \/>\nhighest resolution monitor at their budget will find a smattering a stonking&#013;<br \/>\ndeals on 2,560 x 1,440 resolution monitors for only \u00a360 or \u00a370 more. The SC750\u2019s&#013;<br \/>\n1,920 x 1,080 resolution, meanwhile, feels a little restrictive on such a large&#013;<br \/>\nscreen. If we were making the choice, we\u2019d be sorely tempted to spend a little&#013;<br \/>\nmore.<\/p>\n<p><\/img><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d rather save \u00a350 or so then the AOC d2757Ph is another&#013;<br \/>\ntempting alternative. It\u2019s the same size and resolution as the Samsung S27C750P&#013;<br \/>\nand matches it for picture quality \u2013 it even supports 3D, limited though its&#013;<br \/>\nappeal may be. There\u2019s little to choose between them, but we\u2019d favour the&#013;<br \/>\nanti-glare finish of the SC750 if forced to choose. The AOC doesn\u2019t pivot,&#013;<br \/>\neither, a niche but useful feature.<strong> <br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"verdict\">Verdict<\/h2>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not an open and shut case, but the Samsung S27C750P monitor&#013;<br \/>\njust about earns our recommendation mainly on the strength of its anti-glare&#013;<br \/>\nfinish and outstanding design. There\u2019s better value to be found elsewhere, but&#013;<br \/>\nthis is a very good monitor for the discerning shopper.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"review-trusted-score\">Trusted Score<\/h2>\n<h3>Score in detail<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\tImage Quality 8<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\tDesign 10<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\tValue 7<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\tFeatures 8<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Specs <\/h3>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tr>\n<td>Screen Size (inches) (Inch)<\/td>\n<td>27in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Aspect Ratio<\/td>\n<td>16:9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Response Time (Millisecond)<\/td>\n<td>5ms<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Contrast Ratio<\/td>\n<td>3000:1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Brightness (Lumen)<\/td>\n<td>300lm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Max Resolution<\/td>\n<td>1920 x 1080<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Panel Type<\/td>\n<td>WVA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Adjustability<\/td>\n<td>Pivot<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Horizontal Viewing Angles<\/td>\n<td>178<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Vertical Viewing Angles<\/td>\n<td>178<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3D Ready<\/td>\n<td>No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Connectors <\/h3>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tr>\n<td>VGA (Times)<\/td>\n<td>1x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HDMI<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>DisplayPort (Times)<\/td>\n<td>0x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Physical Specifications <\/h3>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tr>\n<td>Height (Millimeter)<\/td>\n<td>515.6mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Width (Millimeter)<\/td>\n<td>624.6mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Depth (Millimeter)<\/td>\n<td>200mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Weight (Gram)<\/td>\n<td>5.8g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pros Stylish design Pivtoing stand Anti-glare finish Cons No DisplayPort Slight backlight leak Key Specifications Review Price: \u00a3299.00 27-inch screen 1,920 x 1,080 resolution WVA panel Two HDMI, one VGA 90 degree pivot &#013; &#013; It used to be that buying a decent monitor meant spending&#013; a small fortune, but that\u2019s not the case anymore.
