All in all, I think it is a pretty nice monitor, besides got a bit of a deal on it on Boxing Day when I was reading about while logged into my account, the price droped right in front of my eyes :-), so I said to myself "self, hell ye" :-).

Excellent monitor. Some people think that 27" is too big for 1080p, but it actually looks great. If you have a computer capable of running games at 120fps you'll never want to go back to 60hz.
This monitor is one of the best looking monitors i have ever seen in my life. Apart from its sexy design, its picture quality is absolutely stunning. Tridef software for 3d games comes with this monitor which is pretty descent. It is not nvidia 3d vision certified but there is a workaround to do that. 120hz gaming is soo smooth and fun. Remember that only way you can get 120hz on this monitor is using the Dvi dual link cable which comes with the monitor or display port. Hdmi doesnt support 120hz. 2d to 3d conversion feature is pretty good too. Satisfied with the purchase.

This is a fantastic monitor, despite the high price I still find it to be good value. A lot of people have had some issues with the 3D ghosting in certain games, I've tried most of the same games and have found no issues yet. Clarity of the screen is great, and my panel pretty much has no bleed although that seems to be luck of the draw. The only downside is my panel does sag a bit on the left, I was afraid that was going to happen with the design. Despite that the hinge does seem sturdy, so it's a shame they didn't count for that to happen. While the design is really nice, I still would have bought it and maybe preferred if it had a more traditional base. Would buy another one though, great monitor.

Bought this monitor primarily to play games and it fulfills this role very well. At first I thought 27" might be too big, not so, its the perfect size IMO. The 1920x1080 res on the 27" looks great and won't overwhelm your video card. Glare hasn't been an issue for me. The 3d works and is cool but I didn't buy this monitor for the 3d so it was purely a bonus. The 120hz defenitely makes a noticeable difference in games especially shooters. BF3 and SC2 look amazing on this montor. Yes this monitor costs more but you get what you pay for and if your looking for one of the best gaming TN displays, this is it.

I purchased this monitor a few weeks ago from a local computer chain, the first had a dead pixel and terrible visible backlighting so it was exchanged for a defect free monitor. The difference between the two was phenomenal so keep that in mind should yours have backlighting issues; it's not meant to be like that!
Samsung promises 100% Photo Accuracy, fast response times and a 3D solution for AMD GPU users and delivers. The S27A950D has no ghosting, fantastic default color accuracy and almost no input lag while also sporting a fantastic look. It leaves little to be desired.
