My Honest Samsung LF27T700QQNXZA Monitor Review

The Samsung F27T70 is a superb monitor in most ways, however it comes with a handful of questionable factory default settings that must be altered. Further information are below, but simply put: Be careful to deselect “Off Timer” and “Color Gamma” unless you want a monitor that switches itself off and/or exhibits overdone colors.

With those two settings turned off, the Samsung LF27T700QQNXZA monitor delivers a terrific mix of exceptional picture quality and fully-adjustable stand, at a reasonable price. The WQHD resolution (2560×1440) is an excellent fit for this 27″ screen, giving crisp text that’s simple to read without further scaling. Brightness and viewing angles are great, and the device I got was clear of faulty pixels and without substantial backlight leakage. The monitor’s stand merits particular notice, as its full-featured height/tilt/rotate/swivel features are excellent in this price category.

Out-of-box color reproduction is exaggerated and over-saturated, but I ultimately obtained correct results by setting Gamma to “Off” in the Color menu. This feature is scarcely mentioned in the documentation, but it’s necessary for anybody who works with graphics/photos/videos to deactivate it. After turning off Color Gamma, the monitor’s settings deliver nice colors, including an accurate D65 white.

Another essential option is the “Off Timer” (illogically situated in the monitor’s Game menu), which is engaged by default. The handbook states it’s to comply with an undisclosed country’s “power supply rules”, however anybody who uses their computer beyond 4 hours at a time (i.e., most people) should deactivate this option. Otherwise, the Samsung LF27T700QQNXZA monitor automatically shuts off after 4 hours, independent of any continuous activity. Several minutes before shutting down, a pop-up states merely “The monitor is ready to switch off. Press OK to continue.” It never mentions the Off Timer option, and the prompt times-out and vanishes long before the screen really goes off, without additional notice.

One additional note concerning the monitor’s uneven interface: Slider-style adjustments (brightness, etc.) take effect instantly, but discrete menu selections (like those stated above) activate only when you “Enter” the highlighted selection by moving the joystick to the right. If settings aren’t saved as anticipated, it’s probable because “Enter” was skipped.

Overall, Samsung LF27T700QQNXZA monitor doesn’t have speakers or provide any specialized features (such ultra-high refresh rate or wide-gamut color), but it’s a decent alternative for ordinary home/office computing and for gaming at a non-professional level. Recommended, but only after turning off the Color Gamma and Off Timer settings.
