The amazing picture quality cancels my initial concerns Oct 05, 2009 By John E "John E"
I purchased 2 of these monitors to run a dual-monitor setup in my home office. My initial concerns when purchasing were a lack of USB ports in the monitor, no webcam, and a fixed base for a stand. However, a leading name brand, great size, and great specs convinced me to take the plunge.

Assembly took about 25 seconds. It took another 25 seconds to hook up the included DVI cables, and I was up and running. My first thoughts after hooking them up were 1. The picture is crystal clear. 2. The size is awesome. 3. What an elegent look having the glossy black frame with clear glass borders and clear glass stand.

I don't buy monitors for bells and whistles, I buy them for viewing. 1 screen EASILY fits 2 full sized web browsers. I love the dual screen set up with 4 full sized browsers.

With the HDMI connection, I'm going to hook up our Cable box and switch the input so my wife can watch her recorded shows in high definition on the right monitor while editing her photos with the left one. If my son wants to hook up his Xbox, thats an option as well.

Overall, if you want an amazing high resolution experience and a lot of screen real estate to work with for a really fair price, I highly recommend this monitor. If you are in love with the built in webcam/usb ports/adjustability and positioning of the screen, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

The Samsung P2570HD; High Definition TV, Monitor & Video Player, a best value for your buck Nov 04, 2009 By MP
CLARIFICATION: THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONFUSION BETWEEN SAMSUNG'S LCD-TV MONITOR AND THE 2570 HD MONITOR. THE REVIEW DONE BY ME IS FOR THE TV/MONITOR. SOME OF THE MENTIONED FEATURES DO NOT APPLY TO THE STAND ALONE MONITOR BUT SEVERAL SELLERS MIGHT NOT BE ACCURATE AS FOR WHICH DEVICE YOU MIGHT BE BUYING. THUS, BE SPECIFIC ON YOUR PURCHASES.

Samsung's SyncMaster P2570HD offers plenty of inputs, a descent HD-TV monitor, basic speakers, and a remote control with all necessary features. Also, great style and very good performance are included in a panel less than 2" deep. But, no VGA cable included, no height or tilt adjustment and Samsung's website does not have an updated driver for Windows 7. Best for those of us that need (or want) a new big screen monitor that might be also be used as a TV.

It is an LCD Display with 24.6 diagonal inches of screen and I paid $339.00 On Line. After searching on the Internet for reviews on the new Samsungs (not many found), decided on giving a try to this new product. Has multiple inputs; from VGA to HDMI that and an integrated TV tuner, speakers and even the power supply (connects directly to an outlet) in a fairly light device.

An attractive device with lots of shine, transparent surfaces and a matte screen. The base is a glossy black oval with hues of red on the perimeter. A transparent glass bluish neck anchors the monitor [pic1]. The aspect ratio is 16:9 which makes it very modern looking when compared to the Apple products. The borders of the screen have a 5/16" clear area [pic4] and on the rear, all input jacks are recessed about one inch and face backwards, not downwards like other monitors/TVs [pic6]. This can make hard flush wall mounting the device. Two small speakers face downward and there is an 18" area on the rear upper part for heat dissipation (remember that the power supply is inside the device).

I tested the monitor with a 2002 Dell XPS running Windows 7 [pic3]. Tried to get an updated driver for the new OS but none yet available. Refresh rate was awesome, colors were bright, blacks were not seen and no distortion or bleeding of the screen was noted. In order to "stress" the video card to its limits (plus the shared RAM), was able to work with eight screens at the same time and even play a DVD trough the WMP-11 and at the same time, play that same movie stored on an External HDD trough VLC [pic5]; no problems!

Then decided to customize the settings for the display and used the remote control for this (instead of the touch sensing buttons on the lower R front area). The Remote [pic5] is quite intuitive and settings were very easy to adjust for optimum viewing. Brightness and contrast had to be decreased to 67% compared with the factory settings which were 80% for both. Something unexpected, when switching from a regular 17 inch LCD monitor to this big screen, the mouse needs more area to properly work. Otherwise, adjustments need to be made for said device but I'll try that later.

After one month of using my Samsung P2570HD solely as a Computer Monitor, I connected it to the cable TV and DVP player to evaluate its performance. Because neither the DVR nor DVD player had more than one HDMI outputs, the comparison needed to be done by stages. The cable from my Cable TV provider [not the DVR/descrambler] was directly connected to the TV input of the Samsung and auto scan was programmed [pic7]. Then, searched for a TV transmission in High Definition [pic9].

Connected the Philips DVD player to the Samsung and to my 40" Sony Bravia LCD. First trough Composite [pic3] and later trough HDMI [pic 10]. Compared picture quality and trough the "custom" setting, tried to make the image of the Samsung as close as possible to the Bravia [pic 11]. The screen adjustments were made using a specific scene from Zefirelli's Traviatta because the only illumination for Violetta's party scene is by candles. On the second configuration [pic12] adjustments were not necessary since the Samsung had been connected through its HDMI input.

Results:
1. As a stand along TV set, the television picture quality is great with plenty of adjustments for us to customize to specific room/ambience[s].
2. The TV itself took about seven minutes to scan the 900 channels of my Cable TV provider and classify them as High Definition or "normal". Worth to mention that the auto scan did not select any inactive or scrambled channels; great!
3. The audio is not the best on the lower frequencies since the speakers are fairly small and face downwards. But, this device is intended to be used mainly as a TV/Monitor with external speakers and supplemental bass boost. So the bass module or subwoofer of your computer's audio devices compensates those modest integrated speakers.
4. Having so many input alternatives, users can select the one (or the best one) for the source device(s) be HDMI, Composite, S-VHS or even the regular three prongs A/V [pic6].

Compared with the LCD Sony Bravia:
1. The screen of this 25 inch (24.6 actually) monitor/TV is almost 2/3 the size of the 40 inch Bravia.
2. As expected, trough Composite, picture quality of the Samsung is lower than the Sony [pic10]but thanks to the many adjustable settings, I was able to almost have the same display in both devices [pic11].
3. Trough HDMI, the Bravia picture is still better [pic12] because of its size and Sony markets the Bravia as a TV, not a TV/computer monitor.

As a stand along TV, the p2570HD is a great device and will not disappoint anyone as long as they do the proper connections and setting adjustments. As a video playing device it performs excellently especially trough its HDMI input. Composite is almost as good but you have to see what output capabilities your specific equipment has. As a computer monitor has been performing in an excellent way, especially with a new inexpensive EVGA GeForce card that increased the WEP from 3.5 to 4.9.

Having stated all this I would recommend this device to be used for anyone who wants a great Computer Monitor to be used in a home office that occasionally will become a guest room. Have not mentioned but the Remote is quite handy allowing users to switch between devices and even adjusting picture, contrast and so many other features that will take users to the optimum viewing situation. If you are looking for a TV that can be used as a monitor or hooked to your computer, perhaps, there are some other better alternatives but that was not my need. Pic2 shows you a size comparison with a 10" NetBook and the I-Phone.

In September, read that a specific warehouse was selling this device for $350.00. I called all of them within a 50 mile radius of downtown Seattle and none had it. While you decide on which monitor/TV is best for your needs, here are some photos of the monitor so you can see what it looks like since obviously, you are considering it. As a monitor and DVD playback device, I would give it five stars. As a TV, would give it only fur because of the speakers.

Overall, the Samsung p2570HD is a great device and most of the consumers will find a place/setting for its optimum use. And also, works perfectly with Windows 7. Have fun searching for your next Monitor/TV and hope that this review was useful for your selection.

Great 24.6" HD display for the $$ - beware wobbly and not height adjustable Dec 02, 2009 By A. Sadler
For the large size this is a surprisingly thin, small profile LCD monitor with nice construction, materials and beautiful resolution. The screen is bright and the color depth and blacks are top grade.

Two pretty big gripes:

-- the monitor sits far too low on its pedestal and it's not adjustable. The fix is eithering lowering my chair or raising the monitor with a book (not ideal). While marketed as a computer monitor and the aspect ratio works nicely with Windows 7, it's a severe drawback that there's no adjustment.

-- Second the monitor moves as I type due to the nimble base. I have a very sturdy steel and glass desk, but the vibrations from my typing make the monitor wobble in its pedestal. This should have been corrected - an extremely sloppy and disappointing design move

All told, it's a decent deal for 350 bucks and far better image quality than my 22.5" Samsung SyncMaster 225BW. But I sorely miss the adjustable up/down control and sturdy base of that 3 year old monitor.

Its a really decent product Oct 30, 2010 By Kester B
I bought this to go with "new beast", my new computer system and its really nice and clean and clear and attractive. Movies are clear even in 1080p. Its a really sleek monitor. Only thing that was annoying was that it would go through all input methods before finding the correct one, so the monitor would take a while to come back on and display. That problem was easily adjusted by THE GRACE OF GOD, I found the setting in Menu-Setup&reset and set it to manual that did the trick.

Great Monitor, love it. Oct 14, 2010 By Jaygyver "Broke Mac Addict"
P2570- monitor (NOT the P2570HD-TV)
This monitor came the same day as my new Mac Pro and I've had them about 3 weeks now. I'm just a gamer/home user.

By the way the P2570- monitor DOES adjust front to back (tilt), just not up and down or rotate. Just hold down the foot and lift up a little at the bottom of the display and you should be able to tilt it. It's a flat panel, so it's light enough not to be a problem for me. The only time I need to move the monitor is to dust behind it or rearrange my desk top accessories. If I had to share the screen all the time with somebody next to me I would just get a "lazy susan".(A small disk/plate that rotates 360 degrees, big in the '70's).

This is also a NON-glossy screen. It has -NO- VESA mounting points. They do make a "Universal" clip-on one supposedly. Came with two cables, a DVI to DVI and a DVI-A to D-Sub (RGB-HD) cable. No HDMI cable. HDMI connection does not carry sound so you will still need to run an audio cable to the monitor or use external speakers, at least according to the manual. I haven't used the HDMI yet and probably won't. Has a power transformer "brick" as part of the cord instead of it being in the monitor. Similar to a laptop charger. Less heat in the monitor and thinner and you can always get another transformer cable instead of a mega $$ repair bill to access the monitor guts.

The monitor hooked right up to the Mac and ran great from the box, no drivers needed. I haven't really played with the controls yet other then to turn off the "connection seeker" or what ever it's called, from looking at all connectors before it settles on the right one to use after the monitor wakes up.(--every single time!!!-) Colors etc, looked great. Only two pieces for the stand and it just press fits to monitor. One screw. Fantastic!(The only screw/wingnut is built into the "foot" that connects to the "leg", no need for a screw driver)

The monitor does wobble side to side, the "foot" being too thin. I have an Oak Roll-Top desk so it takes quite a bit to make it wobble. It wobbles side to side and not front to back so it's wouldn't bother me that much anyway. I definitely wouldn't use it on a card table or such. If it did bother you, then there is a metal plate on the bottom that you could make your own base and then just screw the plate to it. But, yes you shouldn't have to do it.

There is a little "back light bleeding" at the top and bottom but ONLY when the games or movies are changing scenes or levels. I probably would never have noticed had I not read all the reviews from the 'net talking about it on this one and others. On some scene/level changes it does go black but most just go to a deep dark blue. From what I've read though 90 percent of all TFT panels do it to some extent.

-MY- nit/pics,
The outer edge of the Samsung P2570- has about a quarter inch of clear plastic "trim". (Which could be used for a "Mcgyvered" VESA mounting point if needed) Purely as a aesthetic thing but put's it about a half inch too big to open my drawers behind the edge of the display. Oh well, I don't use them that often anyway, I couldn't pass up the display. This one is actually about the same overall dimensions as some of the 23'and 24" displays I had looked at.
You "may" notice also that the inner part of the glossy trim where the LED screen meets the trim there is a reflection. I only noticed it on my light colored OSX menu. It first looked like I would need to rearrange the screen orientation but it's just a reflection on the glossy trim. I really only noticed it at the top, I slouch in my chair. About 14 different languages on the manual,(fold-out piece of paper) for -each- description, what a waste of paper.

If you have a Mac and don't want to down load the online manual go to the CD and drag the "manual" folder to the desktop, (it's a 164 meg folder, but your only going to erase 11 megs worth of language files when you are done) or just make a "Manual" folder on the desktop and drag these files to it,_css/_flash/_IMG/_index/_js/_PDF/Thumbs.db, and whatever language you want.(English is "eng") Then go to your language folder and open the 01_htm folder and click on -any- file and it will open the Manuals pdf window. I just made an "alias" of the first file and renamed it and put it in the main "Manual" folder and it worked fine.
Or just click on any of the files in the 01_htm folder on the CD, read it, and then your done, no need to down load it. I'm just lazy and don't want to keep looking for the CD every time I have a question.
