Samsung 17" 700IFT DynaFlat SyncMaster Monitor

Product Description

It's easy to see why the SyncMaster 700 IFT is the most advanced screen in the world. A lot of manufacturers claim to have flat display screens, but let's separate flat from fiction. The SyncMaster IFT 17-inch monitor has the flattest tube in the world. It's perfectly flat. Not an alleged flat screen with a slight curvature that not only distorts the facts but distorts your picture as well. The SyncMaster 700IFT is the top of the line monitor among the 17" monitors, designed by engineers who believe in true precision.Revolutionary flat screen technology of DynaFlat delivers razor-sharp pictures with extraordinary clarity and true lifelike colors with no visible curvature when viewed from any angle. It's infinitely, perfectly flat. SyncMaster IFT Monitor's advanced Super Pigment Phospours are color concentrated phospours of uniform particle size. They deliver a broader spectrum of colors, therefore projecting vivid, amazingly lifelike colors. Samsung's advanced Real Color Control technology simplifies mixing three RGB colors for graphics applications. Now at the touch of a button, you can adjust color using just two variables Hue and Color Saturation. Samsung's unique on-screen Digital Display Director provides easy color temperature control.

Not as described. Never buy from Samsung Again.......2002-11-25

I got my Samsung 17" 700IFT for about 3 months and have been using it since. The reason I bought this monitor was the price and the performance. I needed a big enough monitor with hi resolution and good refresh rate for working with AutoCAD and 3d studio. A .20mm dot pitch, resolution up to 2,045 x 1,536 flat 17" for $...(shipping included)was too good of a price for performance(& it was).

The monitor shown above here on amazon[.com] is a little different from what I got. The ajustment button is not cover as shown above. That was a minor problem mainly Amazon[.com]'s fault. Now the problem with the monitor itself. You'll get what you pay for is perfect for describing this moniter. It's too bright even with a UV filter. It's hard to adjust. When you adjust it lower it would turn too dark. Adusting the display area to align with the screen is impossible. The left side is curve and not straight. I had tried every possible adjustment and still not straight. This monitor does not look like a .20mm monitor. A regular 2 yr old 17" CRT at work looks clearer than this one. Also you can NEVER set the resolution pass 1280x1024@85MHZ because anything higher and you will see some major flickering and by lowering the refresh rated to 75mhz at this resoluton and the whole screen would flicker. Even at 1280x1024@85MHZ you notice some minor flicker on the upper right corner.

One word "AVOID" I wanted to believe in the Samsung's product quality but after this one I would have to think twice or never think about buying their product again

Product not same as the one in photo BUT still happy with it.......2002-08-22

I wanted a 17" monitor not too expensive(like LCD) and not too cheap(like no name brand) to replace my existing Komodo 17" monitor(AVIOD THIS BRAND) which is becoming not too easy on my eyes. I pick this over all other mainly of it perfermance. No other monitor in this price range even come close to having. .2mm and 1,280 x 1,024 resolution at 85 Hz. I got the monitor in 3 days. The monitor is same as the one in the photo show on Amazon except mine has the color adjust button on the monitors facde and not like the one in the photo which sticks out. The quality and material is OK. The screen need some adjusting time to fix the corner. When I had it on 60Hz it just like the Komodo but once I had it on 85Hz my eyes feel much more comfortable. Overall it a OK monitor. Still not as good as a regular 17" DIGITAL CRT monitor I use in my office for more than 2 years

You will love it as much as I do!!.......2002-05-24

I just got my monitor yesterday and I absolutely love it! I was worried being that I have a small computer cart that I wouldn't have a lot of space with a 17-inch monitor. It doesn't take up much more space then my old 15-inch monitor did. This monitor is very sleek and takes up minimal space. I love the scoop design in the back it makes it look very stylish and not just like a plain looking monitor.

It was easy to adjust the settings. So far I just have my resolution set on 1152 x 864. I was used to 1024 x 768 before, but I am sure I will gradually increase the resolution after adjusting to it more. I love all the choices it gives you to change your resolution to. I checked out a lot of other 17-inch monitors and I did not see any that was able to match this ones ability to go up to 2048 x 1536.

I am very happy with the quality of this monitor. I am glad I made the decision to spend a little more for a high quality monitor. I debated over and over with this monitor and the cheaper monitors which had fewer features. I do freelance webdesign and this monitor is perfect for it. Graphics and text look amazing. It was very easy to set up and took only a matter of minutes. This is definately a monitor for everyone from beginners to the professionals.

Get this monitor you will love it as much as I do :)

Samsung Dynaflat 700IFT.......2002-03-15

Samsung has 2 lines of Dynaflat monitors, the DF's and the IFT you see here. Dynaflat is probrably the best flat screen technology in the industry. The .20 dotch pitch gives this monitor the clearest picture I have ever seen. Dynaflats are used by Graphics professionals, but are affordable enough for the home!

The 700IFT boasts an awsome resolution for a 17 inch monitor: 2048 x 1536 maximum resolution at 60 Hz. That means, it can run a godly 1600x1200 picture with perfection!

The IFT series is also very high quality, includes all the new technologies. It's also very healthy as far as monitors go, with the anti glare, anti static coatings.

Some may say a 17 inch monitor is too small, but honestly, it isn't. It's the perfect size. Getting anything bigger is totally unnesessary and hurts your eyes.

For the price Amazon.com charges, and the free shipping, you CANNOT beat this monitor at the price. I seriously doubt you will find another monitor as good as this one .... Unless you get a different model Samsung Dynaflat of course. But I assure you, this one is the best bargain, I have compared them all :)
