Pros: Attractive, tasteful appearance (sleek black case, narrow bezel, removable cover for cable connections). Reasonably lightweight, not at all bulky for a 17" display. Great picture quality, as long as you're using DVI--see below. Wide horizontal and vertical viewing angles. Very, VERY bright (currently running at 60% brightness--anything higher is like having a miniature sun sitting on my desk). Control via MagicTune software is nifty (see below)--I can't believe I didn't start using it sooner!
Cons: Using the analog input, the 730B looks considerably worse than my analog-only Samsung 712N. Seems that Samsung skimped a bit on analog signal conversion in this model, figuring that most users will use the digital input anyway. Stick with DVI, and you'll have a beautiful picture. / No DVI cable is included. Free tip: Don't be tempted by inexpensive 3-foot cables. They work fine, but that's barely enough cable to work with, even when your monitor is right next to the computer. Choose a 6-foot or longer cable. / One stuck pixel, almost dead-center of the lower left quadrant of the display. Disappointing, but not a deal-breaker; the defect is so small that it's hard to tell what color it's stuck on (red, I think) without a magnifying glass. For the price I paid, I can deal with it--as long as more pixels don't follow suit. / Driver/software CD needs major work, but anyone who knows their stuff will eventually get it to behave.
Overall Review: If you're buying monitors for a dual-head setup, you'd do well to buy units of the same model; even monitors of the same brand can have significantly different attributes. For example, the "color temperature" of the 730B is significantly "cooler" than that of the 712N. Even with the 712N set to "Normal" and the 730B set to "Warm", the 730B appears "cooler". (For an understanding of these admittedly silly terms, direct experimentation and Google are both your friends.) If you're trying to match two different Samsung models, MagicTune is indispensable--much better than fiddling with OSDs on two monitors. Speaking of which, MagicTune is not limited to the primary monitor on a multiple-monitor setup. All one needs to do is move MagicTune's window so that it is displayed on the monitor that one wishes to control. This information is in MagicTune's help file (aka The Fine Manual, which one should always Read).
