Samsung LS24C770TS Pro Reviews

The Samsung S24C770T is a 24-inch touch-screen monitor that delivers solid performance and eye-catching aesthetics. It doesn't provide much in the way of I/O ports though, and it's expensive.

Responsive touchscreen, but it needs a calibrator to produce the best image quality

Overall, the Samsung Series 7 770 S24C770T has a good-looking display, with much deeper blacks than Dell’s P2714T, good viewing angles, and the ability to display slightly more of the color gamut than Dell’s offering. On the flip side, the Dell screen is brighter and displays more accurate color, especially when calibrated. You’ll need a special tool for calibrating, though. On top of that, most adjustments to the image will need to be made with software. The S24C770T’s on-screen controls are extremely limited, permitting only brightness and volume adjustments, as well as switching between HDMI inputs, and a timer for switching the display off. Color accuracy won’t really be an issue for general users who just want to use apps and watch movies, at least not as much as the display’s disappointing maximum brightness. In direct sunlight, the S24C770T appears washed out, and overhead lighting can cause glare and reflections which can overpower the image. Pricing, is the S24C770T’s real problem. Its display is arguably better than Dell’s S24C770T overall, and we’d choose Samsung’s stand/reclining mechanism over what you’ll find on Dell’s touch monitors any day. The 24-inch Samsung Series 7 770 S24C770T is currently selling for $599—the same price that Dell’s much larger 27-inch P2714T is selling for on Amazon. The 23-inch version of Dell’s touchscreen display, the P2314T, is currently selling for as little as $420 online, and all three of these screens have the same 1080p resolution. If price isn’t an issue and you prioritize design aesthetics, deep blacks, and a nice reclining stand over color accuracy and brightness, then Samsung’s S24C770T is a good choice. As much as we prefer Samsung’s panel and stand, unless prices change, most buyers who do their research will probably opt for Dell’s 23-inch P2314T, due to its much lower price. Given the current $180 difference, we can’t say we’d blame them, even if the Dell monitor is an inch smaller.
