Best monitor for work!

Been using this monitor for 6 years for my work. Easy to use for two separate windows side by side and still get the best view. The size is perfect so that I do not need 2 or more monitors. Screen resolution was great but now see a little bit of dullness with blue screen.

Free Radical

Growing up with gaming systems such as pong, tank battle, and space shooter using the television was the only connectivity. But, in this gaming era monitors are the essential with games requiring faster resolution even todays UHD tv's puts the players experience in the back seat. This monitor has changed my playing experience exponentially giving me the break from switching between the two media's and allowing the freedom to play while networking.

Monitor Review

After a while of having this monitor I would say it's not bad but not necessarily good. It highly depends on what you're using it for. For everyday tasks, work, writing, etc. It would be a nice to have. However, I do not highly recommend it for gaming. Unless you play casually. Some things I personally like about this monitor, is the eye protection mode. And how you can change it's resolution and many other things related to it. My final review on this monitor it would be a 6.5/10, a little above average in the monitor world.

Best monitors ever

I used my monitors for work. I have several tasks and applications that co-work together information from one to another having multiple screens to look at the big picture instead of going back-and-forth and organizing my work a lot faster. The clarity and the colors of the monitors always make it enjoyable to do my work when I'm looking at a nice clear pretty sharp crisp picture.

Easy setup with VESA plates

I use two 27" curved monitors for timeline and preview of edited videos. Also comes in handy when flight simming and I want an instrument panel I can glance at instead of moving my view in the cockpit.

This monitor is awesome.

I love this monitor it's crispness in how vibrant all the colors are isbspectacular. It is so clear that it feels like I am there. I use this monitor for gaming and i truly wouldn't want any other monitor. And I have had a few other brands like vizio a roku and even onn and samsung is the best. I'll never go with another tv company. I got all of them at Walmart and samsung definitely was my favorite. It really shows the high Def screen and the curve is spectacular.

Great budget monitor

This monitor isn't going to get mentioned for color accuracy or impressive resolution, but as a basic inexpensive monitor it's reliable and works great. The curve of the screen does indeed help me reduce eye strain and I like that it has a night mode to reduce blue light. The control setup is easy to use and it supports automatically turning on and off with my computer. With an adapter it also works great with my phone or my galaxy tablet for using Samsung Dex with a keyboard and mouse. Left my bag at work and only have my phone? No problem, plug that into the monitor and I can do schedules and invoices like it's nothing

FOCUSED GAMEING , QUALITY FILMS

I use this monitor with my Playstation 5, and it is well in it's performance, I upgraded from a 45 in flat smartscreen to this monitor, and seen major improvements on games all throughout. Using services like Netflix and paramount+ are of quality viewing. Easy menu control and even tho it doesn't have built in speakers I am comfortable with using a ozone speaker I've wired to the monitor. I can't wait to get an upgrade from this monitor with the ps5 pro geting ready to release here. Over all 10/10 budget 8/10 experience.

Display Turns Off After Less Than A Year

After less than a year, I've had the same issue other people are having with the monitor entering sleep mode with HDMI (not all the time, but every other day it seems). There is little to no support online on how to fix this. I've updated the drivers, made sure the refresh rate matches, power supply works, etc. When I connect to another monitor, my computer works fine. When I disconnect the HDMI from the monitor, it says awating signal (which is what it's supposed to do). It's better off buying a new monitor rather than dealing with this headache or paying for shipping and repairs.

I don't know anything about this monitor.

But I do know about Samsung and I have owned and operated many of their cellular devices and the services affiliated with me as a customer and I have always been completely satisfied. A 10 in all areas of their product performance, customer satisfaction after the sale, even in areas where I never had any idea that I was considered to be important enough to consider and address with their overall the top professionalism. Because of the past experiences with Samsung I can only imagine the capabilities that this cool curve of a monitor would have in store for me. I'm always anxious to get impressed and awed.
