I recently purchased the Samsung 27" S3 (S30GD) IPS LED FHD 100Hz Monitor from Best Buy, and I’m extremely happy with it. The picture quality is crisp, vibrant, and clear thanks to the IPS panel, which makes colors look natural from any angle. The 100Hz refresh rate is a big step up from standard 60Hz — scrolling feels smoother, and games run more fluidly with less motion blur.
Setup was quick and easy, with both HDMI and D-sub connections available. The slim, modern design with thin bezels looks great on my desk, and it doesn’t take up too much space. I also appreciate that it has good eye comfort features for longer use, which makes it comfortable for both work and entertainment.
For the price, this monitor delivers excellent performance and value. Whether you’re using it for everyday tasks, streaming, or light gaming, it’s a solid choice. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish monitor. Take notice that this monitor does not have speakers

This Samsung monitor matches the top quality we’re used to with their tvs. The setup couldn’t be easier with hdmi connection, stand, cables small bezel and lightweight design.

I used this as a flush wall mounted monitor for my home recording studio, needed particularly due to Cubase. It works really well. Cubase has an over abundance of tiny little screen areas that, on a smaller monitor, are simply too tiny to see, let alone mouse over and click on. I also love that quiescent power consumption is SUPER LOW.
One improvement for wall mounting would be to have downward facing jacks for ALL connectors (power and video). The HDMI is down facing, but the power jack points at the wall. Not a show stopper. Overall, this monitor is great !!

It is extremely easy to set up- If you have basic knowledge of how these things work, it is very easy. This is as an extension of my tiny work laptop. Sleek, slim & for my purposes, very good.

This monitor is impressive. The display is sharp, colors are vibrant, and the refresh rate makes everything feel smooth and responsive. Setup was straightforward, and the sleek design fits neatly into my workspace. With versatile connectivity and dependable performance, it strikes an excellent balance between quality and practicality.

Incredibly happy with this one. The display is clearer than most other options at this price point, but you do sacrifice speakers. Admittedly, sound isn't a huge deal when you spend your days on spreadsheets and writing emails. I'm considering a second one.

Great monitor! PluI purchased the Samsung 27-inch IPS LED monitor a few week ago, and it has absolutely exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a monitor that delivers superb image quality without any setup headaches, this is the one to get.
"Plug and Play" Perfection
My setup experience was literally instantaneous. I took it out of the box, plugged in the power and the HDMI cable, and my computer immediately recognized it—no drivers needed, no fiddling with settings. This genuinely is the definition of "plug and play." The sleek, almost bezel-less design also makes it look fantastic on my desk, and the compact stand is sturdy without taking up too much real estate.
Exceptional Picture Quality
The IPS panel is the star of the show. The colors are incredibly rich, vibrant, and accurate right out of the box. As someone who spends hours working on graphic design and editing photos, the color consistency—even when viewing the screen from extreme angles—is essential, and this monitor delivers. Streaming movies and videos is also a joy; the clarity is crystal clear, and the brightness level is perfect for both day and night use. The 27-inch size provides ample screen real estate for multitasking without being overwhelming.
A Reliable All-Rounder
Whether I’m using it for heavy-duty work tasks (spreadsheets and documents), catching up on streaming content, or doing some light gaming, the performance is smooth and responsive. The eye-saver mode is a great feature for long work sessions, reducing strain without overly distorting the colors.
Final Verdict
This monitor is an excellent investment and a fantastic value. The combination of beautiful visuals, reliable performance, and zero-stress setup makes it an easy 5-star recommendation. You won't regret this purchase!g and play

My last monitor was 21" and this one is 27". Things are so much bigger and articles are easier to read. The screen itself is sharp and crisp. The only thing I found to be annoying is the instructions. There's an 'on' 'off' button but it took a week to figure out how to use the button to turn the unit off. Geeezzzz.

The power button on the back is a bit awkward/confusing to use, so I subtracted a star for that. Otherwise, the display itself is great. If you are looking to replace a computer monitor, you should note that this is a monitor only (no camera or audio speakers) if that is something you really need.

I've been using the Samsung 27" S3 (S30GD) for about a month now. it’s a fantastic upgrade for our home office. It is greatfor daily scrolling and light gaming. We really love the panel. The colors stay vibrant and accurate even if I'm not sitting directly in front of the screen.It has a really clean, modern look on my desk. It is exceptionally nice for the price. The colors pop, and the viewing angles are wide enough for sharing the screen with someone else. I highly recommend this monitor!

Works great better than the computer I bought and had to return to Best Buy. I kept the monitor and I am using it right now as I write this. The refurbished pc was JUNK and had to returned as they REFUSED to honor the Total Tech support or warranty

Perfect for what I needed! I use my computer for schoolwork and casual gaming, and was looking for a 24-27 inch monitor to replace my old 720p monitor.
Assembly instructions were easy to understand, and the overall picture quality is great.
