Design and Finish

The build quality is good, but the plastic used isn't very attractive. The base has the characteristic shape of Samsung's old BF monitors. But let's not be too hard on Samsung. This is far from being an ugly monitor - it's just that clearly not enough design effort has gone into the build, especially if you look at what Samsung has done with monitors like their 970P.
