The Samsung SA950 monitor has a lot going for it. It stands there in a paragon-esque stature; you can tell from its design that it’s outright designed to make a point, that this is a premium monitor that sails the flagship proudly and ostentatiously. And for all that’s worth, it deserves the praise and our applause to go with it.
The beauty of the SA950 shows up immediately in its aesthetics. When have seen a monitor designed as such to immediately shun away from monitor design conventions, culminating into a single carving of elegance and grace? It’s a beautiful monitor, with wonderful curves forming a Tate-Art style piece. The screen is amazingly slim, and it flows gently into a flat base stand.
Still, despite its slim stature, the monitor takes up more space than it seems, and aside from slight tilts to the screen, you can’t position it as flexibly as any monitor would. Price of beauty, we suppose.
Which puts us now to its display quality, and that’s the SA950’s second beauty. You’ll be getting crisp, sharp and bright display here, with good response time and nice dark-image performances. The screen is only slightly reflective, but overall, it’s one display quality to match some of the nicest in the market.
The SA950 is a 3D monitor, and it comes bundled with its own 3D glasses. The best part about the SA950’s 3D is that it doesn’t require 3rd party software to do its 3D – this also applies to its 2D to 3D conversion feature. Everything can be selected and configured using the touch-sensitive buttons and menus, and you don’t need an external emitter. We suppose this is how you make a true 3D monitor.
The 3D in itself is great, showing good depth and clarity. The conversion, on the other hand, works pretty good; it doesn’t look as natural as actual 3D content (naturally), but it does a good job giving it depth without making as much error in alignment. You can even set the value of depth, too!
The Samsung SA950 3D monitor is a great piece of creation – aesthetically pleasing design aside, the display quality and great 3D features make this monitor essentially a TRUE 3D monitor, and one not afraid to step away from its own boundaries.
