New Samsung S23A700D 120Hz

They are very nice monitors, however I will wait longer for thin/bezeless designs. I presume they will create the superthin bezel tech (or seemingly no bezel) sometime soon.

The frequency of reported dead pixels is no doubt high because were selling 100 per day of these monitors. By far it's quite possibly our best ever selling monitor which is because for the money nothing comes close.

I purchased 3 at the gadget show thank u overclockers and can confirm no dead pixels here. very happy and my god u cant get better for the money.

Jebus thats a lot of stock shifting. I'm tempted to buy one but to be honest I can't justify it. I would like a 120hz monitor but right now I don't have the GPU to properly use one and my current monitor is fine. I will probably only upgrade once OLED monitors are the norm. ~£166 for this monitor coming from nothing is fantastic value. Coming from a perfectly good working monitor, not so much.

ah so 2 and 3 packs jump back to 166/199~ per monitor price, and the single one goes back to 250 or whatever it was?

pingu666 · 14 Apr 2012 at 16:16

rough math

single monitor, buy it now
duel and tripple, wait and buy with 10% code

Can the 10% discount code be used with the single monitor when we eventually receive them on Wednesday?

pingu666 · 14 Apr 2012 at 17:29

yes, but if they go back to there pre gadget show prices, itll cost more
it was 206 without vat before, and atm its 166 without

My screen is set to 1920x1080 but it doesn't fit the whole screen to the bezel, i have about a 3mm gap all the way around.

Is that normal or should i get it replaced?

you sure its not a reflection caused by the glossy bezel.

So for about £160, would people say this is really worth going for?

pingu666 · 14 Apr 2012 at 19:22

yep
mines a little away from the bezel, but everything looks pin sharp

Set the scaling in CCC panel:

Lt Goody · 14 Apr 2012 at 20:22

That seems to be better after adjusting scaling thanks

sudden rise in sa700 owners yay!, that ocuk gadget show deal was a bargain. Fantastic monitor.

I had problems with catalyst after initial instal so I uninstalled everything and installed latest drivers, then all was ok.
Edit. this was due to new drivers being installed at the same time, so I am putting it down to not uninstalling old drivers 1st.

Just took delivery of one of these (no invoice on the side of the box btw).

The 3D on the couple of games I tried didn't particularly blow me away and I can't see me using this for much. However the smoothness of the 120hz display is awesome. TN panels have come a long way since I got my Samsung 226W 5 & bit years ago. Overall for £166, really pleased with it.

EDIT - having played around with the 3D more, I was a bit unfair on it - it's really quite impressive at times.
