Purchased on 3/15/2006 at Newegg.com
I bought this over three years ago at Newegg for about $200, and I’ve noticed that the prices for this monitor on Amazon are around that figure.

50% failure rate in sample space of 4 within 2-years
Two 740N failed out of four within two-years. The first one died in less than a year. Therefore, 50% failure rate in our experience.

Completely stopped working after 2 yrs!!
My monitor also went black after 2 years. We only used this for our computer so it wasn’t getting constant use.

My First – A Good Deal!
Yeah yeah, I had an old tube monitor until now, so this was my very first LCD screen. I did my homework before buying and it paid off. This monitor is great and a good buy.

Poor stand design trumps good picture quality
I was excited to get this monitor, then was very disappointed when I set it up. The stand is very wobbly and any little vibration sets it rocking wildly.

The monitor itself is fine; I would buy one again. Two small concerns, though.
1. The outer box (Amazon’s) arrived in bad condition; tape coming off, box partially open.

Stops working
I’ve used the 710N model for 2 years now. This monitor recently stopped working. My computer would be on and then the monitor would go black, the monitor would still be on but…

My whole office uses these and they’re great!
My entire office of 300+ people uses these monitors and no one has ever had one break and no one complains about them.

Great!
Fantastic monitor. We were looking for a Samsung because their quality is awesome… get a knock-off and you’ll end up buying again in about 2 years… which is what I did.

I was disappointed
I have been using a 15″ dell flat screen monitor at my home. I needed a new monitor for my office, and decided to upgrade my home monitor with this 17″ Samsung, and take the Dell…
