This thread is a lot better than the other one anyway. It includes all four new Samsung Monitors. Plus the OP actually has substance to it.

Edit: I also find it hilarious that the OP of the other thread requires a picture in order to be 'Included' but he doesn't even have the monitor himself. Classy.

I purchased the SA950 on Sunday at a PC expo it was going on special for $150 less then store retail. So my mate and I each got one. I will be receiving mine on Wednesday and I have a couple questions.

1. Which is the best input to use? I saw that this monitor has a DisplayPort. What exactly is that? I will be using this monitor for my XBOX 360 and PC so the HDMI would go to the XBOX but which input is better for my PC?
2. Are there any good windows colour profiles available to get the best picture quality out of this screen?

1.) Use either displayport or the DVI-D cable that comes with the monitor. Since the monitor comes with the right dvi-D cable you should just use that. There won't be any difference between those two.

2.) These are the settings i use:
  • Set the monitor to the Samsung Magic Bright: Standard preset (this will change to custom once you make changes, but it's a good starting point)
  • The other two Samsung Magic settings set to off
  • Brightness 18
  • Contrast 79
  • Sharpness 60
  • Response Time: Fastest
  • HMDI black level: Normal
  • Red 37
  • Green 42
  • Blue 50
  • Gamma Mode 3
  • All Eco settings Off

You may want to reduce/increase brightness depending on lighting. 18 seems perfect for a moderately-lit room. You might need to reduce red to 33-36 depending on your viewing angle, if you see a slight pink tone to some whites then reduce the red a bit.

what is the input lag for these monitors? I remember someone posted it in another thread but I can't seem to find it again.

Just received the cable. Does NOT work. A DisplayPort (source) to DVI-D (receiver) cable/adapter WILL NOT work with the Samsung SA750 monitor.
I've just ordered another GTX580 with a DisplayPort, so I guess I'm going SLI. ^^

Not quite, you say the opposite. I did get a DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter (the one you state "will work"), it does not.
But for people with Graphic Cards without DP I suggest going for the 950 edition.
And yea. Getting another GTX580 was always the plan, but wasn't really the perfect time, but w/e.

Those settings from SeanPoe also work pretty damn well for me. Last weekend I took my new shiny to a LAN with friends. Somehow they were hogging my seat for quite a while. One of them went shopping the next day and another one somehow doesn't want to play Quake at 60hz anymore now...

Please don't confuse people your wrong your source is not your monitor.

I stated in FAQ that it would work Displayport to DVI-D. This is DisplayPort as source from a GPU to DVI-D link on Monitor. GPU is a Source and Monitors never are a Source.
I will change the FAQ to be more understandable.
