Abstract: £799.99 (inc VAT) $999.99 (ex Tax)It can be easy to overlook a monitor when going through an upgrade cycle – after all, you won’t get more frames per second by simply changing out your display. However, considering it’s what you’ll spend most of yo...
Abstract: Whenever a new sort of TFT panels appears on the market, that’s good news. However, such models tend to be in the premium design segment, which in turn puts a hefty price tag on them. Samsung’s S27B970D with a PLS panel is no exception, so that may hin...

Some light leak, expensive, glossy screen hinders viewing on bright days, average brightness and contrast

An expensive piece of hardware, Display has a reflective coating, Lacks a dedicated audio input
