Our take on the Samsung 27 S3 S30GD IPS LED FHD Monitor 27-inch

The Samsung S3 S30GD is a 27-inch Full HD monitor with an IPS panel, a 100Hz refresh rate and a 5ms response time. It is a basic, budget-minded screen for everyday desktop work, web browsing and light gaming, not a high-refresh gaming display. Its IPS panel gives wider viewing angles and better color than the cheap TN panels common at this size, but 1080p stretched over 27 inches looks soft next to 1440p rivals. Reviewers of this class of Samsung monitor tend to praise the picture and slim design and note the limited stand adjustment.

Questions and answers

Is 1080p sharp enough on a 27-inch screen?: It is fine for documents, web and video at normal desk distance, but text looks softer than on a 1440p 27-inch screen. If sharpness matters most, a higher-resolution panel is the better choice.
Is this monitor good for gaming?: It handles casual and console gaming well thanks to the 100Hz refresh. Competitive players will want a faster panel with a higher refresh rate and lower response time.
Does it have built-in speakers?: No. You need external speakers or headphones, and there is a headphone jack on the monitor.
Can I adjust the height of the stand?: The included stand tilts only. For height and pivot adjustment you need a VESA arm or a different stand.
What is in the box?: The monitor, its stand, a power cable and an HDMI cable are typically included. Check the listing for the exact bundle.
Does it work with a Mac laptop?: Yes, through HDMI with a suitable adapter or cable. The 1080p resolution is easy for most laptops to drive.
Where is the Samsung 27 S3 S30GD IPS LED FHD Monitor 27-inch cheapest?: At Best Buy, for $129.99, as of our latest check.
