Samsung SyncMaster 27IN 2560x1440 LED PLS LCD Monitor Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

I think (in my mind at least) it's official. PLS is better than IPS. This is hands down the best monitor I've ever used including my VA 30" beast at home.

Still not as good as my 11" CRT.

This monitor has a TERRIBLE glow effect (backlight bleeding). It is very noticeable even during the day. The blacks and dark colors are also terrible. It's pretty much just nothing but grey in the bottom screen corners.

After one week I retured it.

Like it is written on the box, this is a BUSINESS monitor (for office work). It's not a monitor made for home gaming or graphics art.

@productionvideobb - Thanks for letting me know. I was a little unsure about PLS, and very wary of Samsung (not had good experiences).
