SAMSUNG S27A950D - Alternatives?

Vegeta · 30 May 2012 at 12:08

I bought this from another e-tailer who hasn't delivered and doesn't respond to any form of contact I have so I'm going to claim back the money from my credit card company.

I was wondering if there are any alternatives to this monitor? Something that has the same performance of LED/120HZ but look's just as good with the ultra thin profile of the monitor. I would get the 750D but it would mean I need to change my graphics card and I can't be bothered dealing with any displayport issues.

I'm thinking I may have to just get the Samsung and pay a little more. The website I found it had it listed at £400! Their online store reviews were hit and miss so I decided to take the chance and go for it. Guess I was one of the unlucky ones. I'll get my moneyback through the credit card company anyways i'll just have to pay a bit extra for the monitor.

But I'd have said the Samsung was marginally the better monitor.

That Benq is nothing like the Samsung

24" instead of 27" and no where near the same styling. Thanks anyways.

Perfect spec monitor but just doesn't look anywhere near as good as the Samsung. Was just wondering if there were any other ultra thin monitors around but I guess not.

Is this monitor now not being sold/made anymore? I have contacted a few different shops OCUK themselves have randomly taken it off their website and others who are out of stock when prompted say the manufacturer are no longer making this product anymore. I'm very confused.

That won't be illegal ha. Guess I'll have to just wait for the next working range.

Thanks PCM2 answered everything really. Looking forward to these revisions. Making 750D only displayport was a bad move. I myself am after the 950 anyways purely due to the design and I wouldn't even mind if it had displayport issues as I'd use the DVI.
