Superb colour, contrast and sharpness
Impossible to get even decent screen geometry. A major problem with this model.... Too many bad points more than negate the richness of the image.
The problems mentioned with the SyncMaster 753s are NOT unique. They exist in ALL of them. My unit showed a terrible vertical wave-like distortion throughout the screen straight out of the box! Also, the 753s has too much of a downward "pull" in the image exactly at the top centre. I was told that this is "normal" for a conventional CRT monitor. It does exist in the 750 also, but it is negligible. In the 753s it is nearly 1mm downward!!
I received no reply from Samsung Corporate office even after contacting them in writing through the web site. The local service centre was not sure what the problem was. I spent several hours with them at the service centre comparing different 753s pieces. I pointed out that the centre pull existed in all 753s monitors.
However, the wave distortion was unique to my brand new purchase. It was was resolved only after replacing the entire picture tube. All this within 4 days of purchase. Absolutely pitiful for Samsung.
From what I have experienced, it seems as though Samsung has found a way of forcing users to go in for the expensive flat screen CRT monitors.
On the whole, I am horrified with the whole experience. Samsung MUST replace recall all 753s monitors and replace them unconditionally.
