PC World has a review of the Samsung SyncMaster 971p rated it 78/100 and writes;
“Aside from those unique qualities, however, the Samsung is a straightforward display that excelled at displaying text in our image quality tests. Jurors noted that the 971p showed extremely sharp text in both a Microsoft Word document and a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. In our multisize font screen, 6-point text was crisp and easy to read. The 971p didn’t wow our judges with its graphics prowess, but it did show bright, realistic colors in photos and on a Web site.”

Overclockers Online has a review of the Samsung SyncMaster 971p;
“The highlights are the Contrast ratio of 1500:1 and the 6ms response time (Grey to Grey). Samsung builds quality panels and these specifications we just looked at are painting a picture of a very nice screen to use…The first part of testing with this monitor involves having a look at the endless amount of positions the 971p can pose in. The first thing I noticed from this model to the 970p was that the hinge system is a lot better. The loose, wobbly feel to the 970p is gone. Auto rotate works like a champ and with the flick of a wrist I am reading entire web pages without using a scroll wheel. “

Cadalyst has a first look review of the Samsung SyncMaster 971p;
“The SyncMaster 971P features a very attractive design with a high-gloss black acrylic bezel and a unique triple-hinged stand that lets users fold the monitor flat or into a variety of positions…We used DisplayMate to run the Samsung SyncMaster 971P through its paces at Cadalyst Labs, and found that it produced excellent scores in brightness, focus, convergence, geometric distortion and raster rotation. The contrast of the SyncMaster 971P is outstanding, well above what I would normally rate as excellent.”

TweakNews has a first look review of the Samsung SyncMaster 971p;
“Let me say this, a high contrast ratio LCD monitor makes an already great look game look even better. The vibrant colors, the sharp picture quality and the overall brightness is borderline staggering. Amazing is a word that comes to mind. This is a photograph of the screen and it even looks great. Now up that by 30% and that is what you will see while gaming…Pros:Availability, Build Quality, Glossy Piano Finish, High Contrast Ratio, Integrated USB2.0 hub, Beautiful Styling. Cons:A little expensive, Ghosts during gaming tests, No rotational base, 1500:1 is overkill and will never be utilized.”
