Samsung S27B971D review - Lots of screen space to enjoy

 

Go premium with high quality, gorgeous styling

Great build quality, stylish looks, touch-sensitive menu controls, all main interfaces, high 2560x1440 resolution, lots of screen space at 27”, bundled leads, excellent colour accuracy, great colour and brightness uniformity

Expensive, contrast and brightness aren’t anything to write home about, stand doesn’t offer much flexibility, rather large bevel

The street price for this Samsung is £730+ but it’s still expensive. You can’t argue with build quality or colour consistency and accuracy as both are excellent. For photographers and designers who want something stylish and don’t mind paying for it,...

Samsung Series 9 S27B971D review

 

Though big, beautiful, and capable of very accurate color, Samsung's excellent Series 9 monitor costs far too much.

The Samsung Series 9 is a display that feels wedged between two different categories. On the one hand, this stylish display looks and feels at first glance like a high-end consumer product; but on the other hand, the display is calibrated with...

Samsung Series 9 S27B971D

 

The Samsung Series 9 S27B971D is an attractive 27-inch PLS monitor that delivers bold color reproduction and very dark blacks.

Rich, accurate colors. Wide viewing angles. Stylish design. Lots of ports.

Expensive. Weak dark grayscale performance. No USB 3.0 ports.

Rich, accurate colors and a striking design make the Samsung Series 9 S27B971D a good choice for users seeking a PLS monitor that looks as good as it performs. Its three digital inputs and built-in USB hub offer a variety of connectivity options, and...

Samsung S27B971D Monitor Review

 

At the 2013 CES Samsung made a point to demonstrate the excellent accuracy of their monitors. They had an example of the automated calibration routine they go through at the factory. Using a Konica Minolta CA-310 meter, 25 points on the screen are...

My expectations for the Samsung S27B971D were high after seeing their demo at CES and how they calibrate displays. They increased when I opened the box and saw the calibration report with some pretty incredible numbers on it. While the initial...

Samsung S27B971D 27-Inch QHD Monitor, Reviewed

 

Samsung's S27B971D is a refreshed flagship 27-inch QHD monitor selling for $200 less than last-gen's model. It certainly looks impressive on paper, with its factory calibration and internal look-up table capability. Does it measure up in our lab, though?

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Good display, incorrect specs/ description

 

This display is described as having a GLOSSY display, edge to edge glass. The unit is NOT glossy but rather has a thin layer of anti-glare on it which is a bit surprising after all I've read on it. The brightness and color accuracy / vividness make up...

Higher resolution that standard 1080, BRIGHT, very colorful, vivid picture, big, modern, classy looking

Anti-glare display coating, plastiky parts on back and base. Wobbly, a little too cheap for the price
