Every couple of months Samsung likes to send me a monitor to get my opinion on how it functions and works. Perhaps some insight into the design is anticipated as well. The last monitor I looked at was the fluid 970p and my only complaint was the hinge system needed work. So what did Samsung do? What they always do...they made it better and came right back with an answer for me.



Samsung is no stranger to anyone buying a computer monitor, whether it be a CRT or LCD. They are an industry leader in performance, design, and quality so when I saw the announcement for the 971p I was not surprised. Samsung is not a company that will be happy with the comment of "very nice but..." when it comes to their products. The 971p is intended to remove those "buts" from that earlier quote.



Designed very much like the 970p, the Samsung 971p appears to have tweaked the hinge system they used on the 970p. From initial photos I have seen, I also think they have managed to make it look even better if it was possible. The specifications look good and the monitor looks good, so let’s get to work and see just how good the 971p gets.
