The Samsung S27C750 is a fairly basic 27-inch monitor that features that rare, but oh-so-appreciated 90-degree pivot option, allowing you to work in both portrait and landscape modes.

The monitor features a cylinder-shaped metal stand with a WVA panel, an LED backlight, and a 1920x1080 resolution. According to Samsung, it achieves a brightness of 300 candelas per meters squared. However, expect to find a lone HDMi port as the sole connection option.

Look for the S27C750 in the first quarter of 2013. Also, look for actual pictures of the device soon.

Currently, the 5.5-inch phone/tablet hybrid (or "phablet") is available here in Marble White and Titanium Gray.
