 Ok TV for the price but there's better August 29, 2010

Bought this TV for my daughters room. It's acceptable for what it's used for but the picture is washed out or a bit fuzzy compared to other small LCD TV's in the house. If I had to do over again I would have spent a few extra dollars for a set with a better picture.

Size, speed and features are great here, but clouding/fading across the enire lower 40 percent of the screen wreck this big picture experience.
I have a 55 inch LED backlit Samsung TV in my home theatre and enjoy some of the same features on it that this monitor has, but the cloud of white/fading across the almost entire bottom half of the screen is glaring. If you look at a continuous corner in the border of a web page, the defect is most apparent as you can see the color fade as border descends goes across the bottom perimeter (as compared to its color across the top perimeter of the page).
I tried everything for a week to correct this problem, including calibration. But after fidgeting with the on screen display controls and features like MagicBrite and MagicColor every night, I finally checked with CNET: It reports the same clouding/fading problems across the line with these monitors as I experienced, and also with this monitors sister, P277OH.
This monitor, which is LCD backlit (NOT LED), is being returned today. I'll wait a few days before picking up a Samsung LED backlit 23 inch model in the hopes that I won't miss, too much, that vast 27 inches of real estate.
Bottom Line: If you make a bad picture bigger, it gets worse, and that's what the P2770HD does with it's flaw when spread across this big screen.

After researching alternatives, I purchased the P2770HD to replace dual four-year old HP 19" LCD (4 x 3 aspect ratio) monitors running at 1280 X 1024 resolution.
I calculated that 27" (at 1080P) was the maximum screen size that would retain the resolution quality of my previous monitors.
I'm exceptionally pleased with this unit. The size is just right for displaying two full-size windows simultaneously, side-by-side. Graphics and text are sharp and colors are great.
I was a bit apprehensive about some of the negative review comments. However, I think that negative comments (that are mixed with many positive comments), are often a result of an individual user's incorrect set-up or other factors relating to his/her unique situation.
So I moved ahead because of the many highly positive reviews and my confidence in Samsung based on previous experience. I'm glad I did.
Noting the comments about adverse effects from using HDMI connection for monitor use, I used a DVI cable. The resulting images could not be better.
My use is almost entirely as a monitor, but I concluded that the flexibility of having a hybrid unit such as this was well worth the small additional cost.
The TV function is as good as the monitor function. I can receive the local network channels in HD, without another cable box that would be required for HD reception of all other channels.
I also have a TV tuner card (standard definition) in my PC that enables me to have a small window open with, e.g., CNN playing in the corner of the screen, while in PC mode. Using the same graphics card as previously, and even in standard def, the picture is superior to what it was on my previous monitors.
The sound from the integrated, invisible speakers is just fine for both PC and TV use in my home office. There's even an equalizer function built into the monitor. I'd long been using external desktop speakers and a subwoofer with the PC. I'm happy to now be able to remove that clutter from my desk. (I didn't expect the sound to be similar to that from the multi-speaker surround system in another room, and it doesn't need to be.)
So, if you're considering this unit but are concerned about some of the negative comments, give the positive reviews more weight. You'll be glad you did.
Really sweet monitor July 15, 2010
Hammered
This is one stunning monitor, it took me about 20 minutes to get it all working correctly, had to tell my laptop I was sending the video to a LCD TV, once that happened I was able to set the screen resolution to the highest setting for the monitor. My laptop has a HDMI out and that is how it is connected, I hooked up a real nice set of speakers (Logitech) and the remote control adjusts the volume and turns the set on/off.
FYI:
If the picture does not fill the screen then your screen resolution is not set high enough, your video card may need the newest driver to set it higher, I downloaded the latest driver from Intel. In Windows 7 you should have an option on your taskbar next to the clock for hidden icons, one of these should be for your video card, that is where you tell it your sending the signal to an LCD TV, once you do that the monitor on the laptop should turn off.
After you have done that you will still need to change your display setting to the highest available.
GREAT PC MONITOR --- Please READ!!! June 20, 2010

Ok, I'm one of those who always want to get a product that can be used for different purposes and Samsung P2770HD LCD TV sparked my interest. This review is for those who keep saying this is not a good PC monitor (I can tell you right now that you are WRONG). I bought this and hooked it up using HDMI. I was initially surprised the reviews are right. Text seemed blurry but I DID NOT GIVE UP because I saw tons of MENU adjustments so I played around with it. I'm telling you once you do this, you will love this monitor and get it over its 2770H (no TV tuner) brother or any other dedicated LCD monitor.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I repeat, this unit is perfect as a PC Monitor using HDMI cable!
----------------------------------------------------------------
*** Before you read on, I'm assuming you have connected this to your PC using HDMI cable and you have the LATEST video card drivers for your PC. Don't even bother with the SAMSUNG drivers yet. You don't need those at the moment. Set your resolution to 1920x1080 before starting (if your video card can support it, most does!)
Here's what you do: (and you can do this while you're PC is ON up so you can see the display change right before your eyes!)
1. Open MENU
2. Go to "Input"
3. Select "Edit Name" to open up the "Edit Name" sub menu.
4. Scroll down to "HDMI" and select it, (watch carefully)
5. Now assign "PC" or "DVI PC" to the HDMI setting and voila!!!
*** I'm not sure what this setting is for, I thought it was just to give it some "name" assignment. But somehow changing this corrected the blurry/blocky text effect.
After this, your PC display should be perfect. If text is still blurry, check if the display/resolution fills the entire screen. If not, this has to do with video card scaling option which can be easily adjusted from the video driver configuration. If you are using an ATI based video card, do these additional steps. (NVidia based video cards should also have an equivalent for this).
For WinXP
*********
1. Open up Catalyst (video card configuration tool)
2. Go to DTV or DTV (DVI) menu on the left.
3. Select sub menu "Scaling Options" and set slider to "0%" towards "Overscan"
4. Done! PICTURE IS PERFECT!!!
For Windows7/Vista
******************
1. Open up Catalyst (video card configuration tool)
2. Pull down Graphics menu
3. Select "Desktop & Displays"
4. Right click on the monitor icon at the bottom of the screen that appears.
5. Select "Configure..."
6. Change the scaling options same as the above.
Note: I'm not a MAC user so I don't know how the video configuration looks like for ATI in MAC. Probably any one of the 2 above.
Enjoy this monitor!
I can switch input sources PC/TV, turn the unit on and off and the picture is ALWAYS PERFECT.
For those who gave this unit poor reviews as a PC monitor, I'm sorry but you just gave up on one solid product that can be both a TV and a damn good PC monitor. Those who complained about dead pixels or backlight leaks (that is of course another story and you may have gotten a bad unit). Sound is reasonable for me. Just get a good external speaker (cheap) and you're done! You have 2 choices for audio out anyway (3.5mm and optical out). For it's price, this simply gives you more bang for the buck.
