Multifunctional Monitor Samsung S27B750V Review

Up-to-date technology is called to facilitate the lives of people and diversify their leisure time. Its additional task is to create a special atmosphere at home and speak about a person’s status and preferences. One can hardly find an individual who wouldn’t have PC or laptop at home and wouldn’t use it for business and entertaining purposes. The era of plain, inexpressive devices sank into oblivion and gave way to innovative, impressive solutions. The choice of PC components is much relied on their design and ‘compatibility with the surrounding’. Thus, Samsung joined the contemporary trends and released a multifunctional monitor S27B750V with a note of uniqueness in design.

Specifications

Samsung S27B750V is, undoubtedly, a multi-purpose monitor which can be connected not only with desktops but also with laptops, pads and mobile devices. This monitor is equipped with the progressive LED highlight that positively affects the rate of power consumption. The monitor consumes up to 40 W in operational mode, and only 0.5 W in standby mode. Besides, power consumption might be dramatically diminished at 25%-50% due to the integrated Eco Saving option; this option is enabled manually by means of on-screen menu settings. Other technical peculiarities of Samsung S27B750V:
— array type: TN;
— resolution: 1920x1080;
— response time: 2 ms;
— viewing angles: 170°/160°;
— loudspeakers: 2x5 W;
— audio: analog input/output.

Design and Ergonomics

Samsung S27B750V is distinguished by an unusual design. The monitor casing is developed in classical black and white color gamut but its framework is atypical: thin frame is joined with a thin asymmetrical leg which, in its turn, is joined with a solid curved stand. This creates an impression of fantasy and futurism. Sensor control panel underlines the design uniqueness and belonging to the hi-tech innovations. Wide solid stand is called to keep the large display and change its tiling.
The rear backboard is equipped with the multi-purpose sockets: a couple of HDMI sockets (one of them supports MHL connection with the smartphones), a single BGA socket, audio analog input and output slots, and a slot for the external network adapter. External localization of network adapter is considered to be a peculiar feature in S27B750V design. However, such design approach provided for the monitor compact dimensions and improved heat removal.

Monitor settings buttons have found their places in the bottom-right part of the clipboard. Button icons have got sufficient exposure and visibility which facilitate the access to them. The on-screen menu is rich in various settings and options so that the user could easily adapt the monitor to his specific needs. The available settings allow enabling the dynamic contrast, changing the loudspeaker volume, changing the color gamut, brightness and contrast, adjusting the optimal image on analog VGA connection, etc.

In Use

Samsung S27B750V can boast a couple of stereo loudspeakers of 5 W each. This way, the monitor produces rather accurate and efficient sounding which can be compared with TV-set sound. Thereby, a person is able to enjoy all the privileges of game playing or video watching even without the connection with external loudspeakers. The sound volume is adjusted by means of sensor buttons on the clipboard.
As it was mentioned above, this monitor can be connected with different devices due to the availability of HDMI, DVI and VGA sockets. Smartphone users will find MHD Link function a great benefit as it enables the hassle-free connection with the monitor due to the dedicated MHL cable.

To continue, color rendering proved to be quite efficient: all colors and tints are displayed with the particular accuracy and intensity. Moreover, the user can easily adjust the monitor to the surrounding lighting with the help of sensor buttons. The imaging keeps well-defined even on dynamic change of shots thanks to the fast array responsiveness.

Horizontal viewing angles do not rouse censures, but the vertical viewing angles, however, require some improvement. This is a common problem of all monitors that use TN technology. Despite this fact, it’s still possible to get a high-end imaging: the integrated MagicAngle option enables the adaptation of the most appropriate viewing angles when in use.
