 GREAT PC MONITOR --- Please READ!!! Jun 20, 2010
By Tech Junkie
Ok, I'm one of those who always want to get a product that can be used for different purposes and Samsung P2770HD LCD TV sparked my interest. This review is for those who keep saying this is not a good PC monitor (I can tell you right now that you are WRONG). I bought this and hooked it up using HDMI. I was initially surprised the reviews are right. Text seemed blurry but I DID NOT GIVE UP because I saw tons of MENU adjustments so I played around with it. I'm telling you once you do this, you will love this monitor and get it over its 2770H (no TV tuner) brother or any other dedicated LCD monitor.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I repeat, this unit is perfect as a PC Monitor using HDMI cable!
----------------------------------------------------------------
*** Before you read on, I'm assuming you have connected this to your PC using HDMI cable and you have the LATEST video card drivers for your PC. Don't even bother with the SAMSUNG drivers yet. You don't need those at the moment. Set your resolution to 1920x1080 before starting (if your video card can support it, most does!)
Here's what you do: (and you can do this while you're PC is ON up so you can see the display change right before your eyes!)
1. Open MENU
2. Go to "Input"
3. Select "Edit Name" to open up the "Edit Name" sub menu.
4. Scroll down to "HDMI" and select it, (watch carefully)
5. Now assign "PC" or "DVI PC" to the HDMI setting and voila!!!
*** I'm not sure what this setting is for, I thought it was just to give it some "name" assignment. But somehow changing this corrected the blurry/blocky text effect.
After this, your PC display should be perfect. If text is still blurry, check if the display/resolution fills the entire screen. If not, this has to do with video card scaling option which can be easily adjusted from the video driver configuration. If you are using an ATI based video card, do these additional steps. (NVidia based video cards should also have an equivalent for this).
For WinXP
*********
1. Open up Catalyst (video card configuration tool)
2. Go to DTV or DTV (DVI) menu on the left.
3. Select sub menu "Scaling Options" and set slider to "0%" towards "Overscan"
4. Done! PICTURE IS PERFECT!!!
For Windows7/Vista
******************
1. Open up Catalyst (video card configuration tool)
2. Pull down Graphics menu
3. Select "Desktop & Displays"
4. Right click on the monitor icon at the bottom of the screen that appears.
5. Select "Configure..."
6. Change the scaling options same as the above.
Note: I'm not a MAC user so I don't know how the video configuration looks like for ATI in MAC. Probably any one of the 2 above.
Enjoy this monitor!
I can switch input sources PC/TV, turn the unit on and off and the picture is ALWAYS PERFECT.
For those who gave this unit poor reviews as a PC monitor, I'm sorry but you just gave up on one solid product that can be both a TV and a damn good PC monitor. Those who complained about dead pixels or backlight leaks (that is of course another story and you may have gotten a bad unit). Sound is reasonable for me. Just get a good external speaker (cheap) and you're done! You have 2 choices for audio out anyway (3.5mm and optical out). For it's price, this simply gives you more bang for the buck.
---------
UPDATE: I noticed that for ATI video card drivers, installing the "driver only" will not show scaling option in the settings. I recommend downloading/installing the entire catalyst software to enable this option. Because I don't have any NVidia hardware at the moment, I'm not sure if NVidia's custom driver installation will have any effect on scaling options.
Also be mindful if you're using an external HDMI switch/box. Low quality HDMI switches may show some screen artifacts so be sure to test the monitor first using a direct HDMI connection, then return the HDMI switch after you've finalized your driver settings.

Very pleased Feb 15, 2010
By Molly
I just set this TV up and am very pleased with it. I was a little worried after reading the reviews, and debated whether or not to return it to Costco for something different. I'm glad I kept this one. It is set up in a room about 15' X 15' and I find the sound to be more than adequate. I only have it turned up about half as loud as it can go. The picture quality is great--very clear. The previous reviewer said the remote did not have a "picture size" button, but my remote has one making it very easy to change the size. I also read that the tv cannot be removed from the stand once placed in there, but we removed it several times just to test it. Overall, I'm very happy with this product.

Nice middle ground Jan 30, 2010
By RJL
This Samsung is a nice hybrid. It works great as a computer monitor and serves admirably as an HDTV. I had purchased a 26" Samsung HDTV before this, but it did not cut it as a computer monitor. I did have a chance to compare them side-by-side, and the the 26" Samsung HDTV may have had a slight advantage as an HDTV, but not much. Both TVs have the exact same remote and the exact same on-screen menus. This unit has fewer input choices and has a stand that allows you to angle the TV. Speakers are decent and include the Samsung TruSurround, even if the box doesn't say so (it's a selectable choice in the audio options).
The only thing this TV/monitor is missing is picture-in-picture. That would make it a true hybrid, but at this price point, the features and quality are more than acceptable.

Excellent Monitor and HDTV Jul 18, 2010
By W. R. Gormley
"BobbyG"
After researching alternatives, I purchased the P2770HD to replace dual four-year old HP 19" LCD (4 x 3 aspect ratio) monitors running at 1280 X 1024 resolution.
I calculated that 27" (at 1080P) was the maximum screen size that would retain the resolution quality of my previous monitors.
I'm exceptionally pleased with this unit. The size is just right for displaying two full-size windows simultaneously, side-by-side. Graphics and text are sharp and colors are great.
I was a bit apprehensive about some of the negative review comments. However, I think that negative comments (that are mixed with many positive comments), are often a result of an individual user's incorrect set-up or other factors relating to his/her unique situation.
So I moved ahead because of the many highly positive reviews and my confidence in Samsung based on previous experience. I'm glad I did.
Noting the comments about adverse effects from using HDMI connection for monitor use, I used a DVI cable. The resulting images could not be better.
My use is almost entirely as a monitor, but I concluded that the flexibility of having a hybrid unit such as this was well worth the small additional cost.
The TV function is as good as the monitor function. I can receive the local network channels in HD, without another cable box that would be required for HD reception of all other channels.
I also have a TV tuner card (standard definition) in my PC that enables me to have a small window open with, e.g., CNN playing in the corner of the screen, while in PC mode. Using the same graphics card as previously, and even in standard def, the picture is superior to what it was on my previous monitors.
The sound from the integrated, invisible speakers is just fine for both PC and TV use in my home office. There's even an equalizer function built into the monitor. I'd long been using external desktop speakers and a subwoofer with the PC. I'm happy to now be able to remove that clutter from my desk. (I didn't expect the sound to be similar to that from the multi-speaker surround system in another room, and it doesn't need to be.)
So, if you're considering this unit but are concerned about some of the negative comments, give the positive reviews more weight. You'll be glad you did.

Wonderful as a PC Monitor - Using VGA or HDMI! Dec 30, 2010
By Patrick W. Lavey
"littlefrancis"
I just purchased this monitor from Costco for use primarily as a PC monitor. It is replacing an Acer 24" monitor. I really wanted the larger size to accommodate working on multiple documents/applications at the same time. I had read the reviews on this monitor before I purchased it. Costco also had the P2770H, which is the newer version of this monitor. What sold me on this monitor was the following:
- Intended use: a PC monitor (not a HD tv).
- Diversity of signal hookups on this monitor: VGA, DVI, HDMI, Component Video, RCA, RCA & Digital audio
- Size: 27"
- Recommendation: the Costco floor personnel in the TV department told me that they use to have this monitor displayed in the TV aisle rather than the PC monitor aisle. In the TV aisle, they would broadcast signal and Dvd pictures through it. It was not uncommon that customers would rate this monitor's picture as better than many of the other monitors. This satisfied my need to occasionally watch DVDs or videos on my computer.
I initially hooked this monitor up using the VGA connection to see how it would look. It was actually very good - much better than my 24" Acer that it was replacing. Text was brilliant, smooth, and clear. Very impressive.
I decided to add a dedicated video card to my Windows 7 PC to add HDMI support (my integrated video card on my motherboard did not support a HDMI connection). I added the Galaxy GeForce GT 430 in my PCI-Express slot. I then hooked up this monitor to the HDMI connection on my new video card. After installation, I observed what many have seen using the HDMI connection: text was not clear and smooth like on the VGA connection. I then proceeded to implement the following suggestion from one of the Amazon reviewers to improve the appearance of text on this monitor when hooked up to HDMI. It worked like a charm! It was also easy and quick: you can see the change occur right before your eyes - no need to Log Off or reboot. I am including these instructions for your reference and convenience at the bottom of my post in quotation marks.
Enjoy this monitor -- it is a real beauty! I have been using it for 4-5 days now and I am very impressed by its brilliance, clarity, & color. Also, if you have not yet noticed the difference between a 24" and 27" monitor, it is significant. Even my 9-year old daughter said, "This is much bigger!" It really is much bigger. I love it!
Oh, if you did not know...this monitor includes its own remote control -- a nice bonus. Using the Menu key on the remote, you can access all of the monitor's settings and adjustments from the comfort of your chair without having to touch the monitor itself.
Instructions from other Amazon reviewer regarding monitor adjustments to improve text appearance using HDMI:
