The
Samsung 570S TFT has a very understated bezel with a total of six controls. The
control consists of the following buttons; Auto, Exit, Power, Brightness (plus
and minus) and menu.
The rear of the display only has an analog video input D-sub jack and a power
jack.
Being that this TFT display is about 6 kilos, it is a bit heavier
than previous LCD displays we've looked at. The stand which was shipped with our unit
is a special pivoting type. The Syncmaster 570S TFT comes with Pivot Software Ver1.2 which allows
the monitor to operate in Landscape or Portrait mode. The choice is up
to you, but I have to admit that with the screen rotated to portrait it is
much easier to surf these long pages of ours ;-)
If that's not your style, then the
landscape mode (the default way you look at you display) is just as effective. The base
allows the panel to tilt forward and backward only a few degrees (say
less than 10...), but has an integrated base which lets you rotate the entire unit 360
degrees with ease, and without lifting up the entire flatscreen.
The up and down adjustment of the display is
limited by its 2" inches of travel, but it should be sufficient for
most desks. This is a spring loaded feature which counter acts the weight of the display
itself so adjustments can literally be made with a finger.
