Samsung SyncMaster 740T 17″ LCD Monitor
Samsung SyncMaster 740T 17″ LCD Monitor Review

This uses the same S-PVA panel as the 0 more expensive Eizo L568. After comparing the two, the Eizo certainly does provide more differentiation in similar colors than the 740T, and the L568′s power supply also appears to be superior (the 740T flutters a bit with fast black to white transitions). However, they’re both about equally accurate with the factory ICM profile installed. Where the Eizo shines is when you calibrate with a spectrophotometer, the big LUT and gamma correction provide a finer grain.
The backlights are near perfect, both displays bleed a little in an ‘X’ pattern from corner to corner, but this isn’t even noticeable on anything but a pure black screen, and hardly so then.
This is the monitor to get for a desktop or lower end workstation if you prefer accurate colors to fast displays. But then, the pixel response is as specified. It’s not a cheap TN part with deceptive g2g specifications and outright ignoring of the ISO standards. Many of the TN panels will actually ghost worse than this panel with it’s higher pixel response spec.
