Had to have it repaired once for distorted lines when turning on the monitor, started again conviently after warranty ended, this time with dead pixels.

top half of the screen is normal, but the bottom half of the screen is filled with horizontal lines. not worth the price at all.

blocky and pixelated dark areas: since i got the monitor it either keeps being very pixelated and blocky in dark scenes and transitions. i tried to reset it on both the monitors settings and my gpu-settings but i often ended up with the same dark color problems. it just not looking good when streaming movies. settings: some settings keeps changing and doesn't have a explanation on why, like in some situations it just won't let me change the black equalizer, even after resetting it. i know if it has to be like that, atleast it should come with an explanation. conclusion: dark areas are not good, for that price for 27" 144hz - 1440p gaming is ok i guess, if you don't care about the colors and lightning. it's not good for color work like graphic design or content production.

i've now owned a total of 3 of these monitors. the first one works great, but the second one's power button stopped clicking. i sent it back and the power button worked again. but now there are particles directly in the middle of the screen. i sent it back and they somehow don't even see the particles.i took reference pictures before i so i sent them to the refurb place and they move them from the middle to the side. i'm tired of dealing with sending my monitor back and forth so i deal with it until the power button stops clicking again. so i send it back to and they just offer to refurbish me so i buy a new one. my new one works great, just long enough for the warranty to run out then the power button starts acting up again. safe to say i will not be buying samsung monitors ever again.

15 days after the 1 year manufacturer warranty ended, my screen is now filled with yellow lines everywhere making the whole thing unusable until it's kept on for approx. 2 hours. this is an indication of a failing monitor, and i'm very upset about this. this has happened to others who have purchased samsung monitors with 2-3x the value. find another brand, i'm telling you now.

i own both the jg56 and jg50 and i have some feedback after owning both for about four years. jg50: it has been resilient over the years and continues to work to this day. i notice no diminishing quality of the display, other than a noticeable high pitched noise when the monitor is asleep and the blue light is flashing. jg56: no issues whatsoever other than there being a small crack in the bottom frame, probably due to it being bumped into at one point. it is a high quality monitor and i could not have made a better purchase.

the monitor randomly powers off for 4-10 seconds then comes back on. it does this 2-3 per minute. sometimes it powers off and won't come back on unless i unplug, and plug it back it. if i shut my pc off, the screen still stays lit in purple. i've sent it in 3 times to be fixed but nothing. 1st they said it was a defective part, but no change. i sent it in the second time, and they said there was no problem found. i called it in a 3rd time, they said they would replace the monitor, and gave me a qr code for ups. ups would scan it, package it, and ship it for me. i just got a call and they told me it was damaged in transit and wanted to quote a price to fix it. i explained the qr code/ups deal. now i have to wait 5-8 business days while they conduct an investigation. i?m out of characters

this 144hz monitor is great. i love how fast the response is and i use it to play games, edit video, and photos with and i never have an issue with the monitor. while this monitor is not the perfect monitor for all that for the price it works great for that.

this is the best curved monitor i have ever had. the clear, crisp display is great for my eyes as someone whom works tech support.

i bought two of these monitors 3 months ago. one has plastic particles inside of the panel, and the other seems unusable with the amount of artifacting that occurs. the screen does this every time. see photos!

this is just a great, well rounded, monitor. super happy with it that eventually i'm going to buy a 2nd one to have dual screens. i especially love the curvature for dual screens so this will work well and they're 27" so that works out too. the resolution quality is gorgeous. it doesn't take up a lot of space, i bought speakers for it and ended up just placing them under/behind the monitor. the legs are simplistic so you aren't burdened by it taking up a lot of area. for the price you cant go wrong for this model. if you want more specific things like mounting accessories or rotating stand, or more high end resolution stuff, you're just looking for a higher priced monitor. 5 stars.

this monitor is beautiful in all aspects. the performance is astonishing. the action is clear and i have experienced no ghosting, artifacting or blurring. the contrast ratio is the best i have seen. colors are stunning and the anti-glare finish on the panel complete a great monitor package. only negatives are lack of height adjustment on the stand and no way to turn off the status led.

i bought 2 of these monitors and rated them a 5-star on the website i originally purchased from. perfect on arrival, great colors, no ghosting, and no dead pixels. however, after about a month, i started seeing significant backlight bleed. after talking to customer support and sending pictures, they confirmed there was "an issue with the internal hardware of the monitor." the only available option to me was to ship them back for samsung repairs, which is about a 2-week inconvenience. overall great product with great specs, but after further research it seems my issue is actually fairly common. i would not recommend using these for something like graphic design or photo editing, but if you need a 2k, 144hz specifically for gaming this is a great option.

i wouldn't purchase this monitor if i could go back and i'll tell you why. the display itself is being slightly cut off at the bottom the screen, not allowing you to see what windows you have open on your taskbar. there is also motion blur and a ghosting effect when scrolling through anything or moving a window around. samsung makes good products, but this one in particular has some crucial flaws in my opinion.

i had to research long and hard to find a quality monitor for my first ever pc build. this monitor is absolutely stunning! the 27 inches is such an upgrade from my laptop. one thing i noticed is that the stand shakes whenever i type on my desk, the stand may be a little flimsy maybe but i'll have to look into finding a way to strengthen it or maybe put something underneath in order to make less shake. all in all, i absolutely love this monitor and know i made a good choice!

Great Monitor, I used it everyday since I got it and no problems. Only thing I didn’t like is that the stand for the screen is in a fixed position so you cannot adjust the screen. Other than that it’s a great monitor

I bought this at the end of October with my Verizon FiOS promotion and it arrived with damage on the bottom right and I was okay with that because the monitor was fine fast forward a couple months not even, I have horizontal lines on the screen, I called support a few times and it was temporarily resolved, not because I called support just by chance they went away and now they will not go away it is so annoying and support has been less than helpful I want them to send me a new monitor or a fixed monitor that does not have these issues I will be calling them again tomorrow to see if they resolve this issue and then I can update this review

this thing is perfect for 1440p 144hz gaming. the curve is barely noticeable but effective. its light as a feather and doesnt waste space with bad speakers. the bezel is small enough and colors are great. highly recommend for a budget and quality monitor.

This is great for PC and for Xbox. I would get this monitor if you are just getting into gaming.

A great monitor for the price i think. But some of the "gamemodes" are a little weird for example fps mode.

I have enjoyed this monitor. I am amazed with crisp and high resolution. I enjoy the color for the photo editing with Lightroom. I engage in quilt and embroidery design, and needed area to increase the size of design for accurate points and lines. Very little to no reflection. 12 point text is very readable. I am pleased with my purchase. No ability to position the screen... you have what you have. Manual .. if that is what you want to call it... is something to be desired.

Like the title says, hooked it up, got all set up....Downloaded latest AMD drivers. FreeSync is listed as "unsupported" in options. This monitor does NOT work with FreeSync.
