5.0 out of 5 stars Nice and sharp
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024
Purchased this monitor chiefly for editing sound recordings on my DAW. With 4k and large screen, the monitor allows me to fine tune timing and cutting of audio tracks. I'm not a gamer, but installed an EA Star Wars game and it seems to work good on this monitor even without a dedicated video card. At a price of just over $200, it's a great value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing at this price
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2024
Been shopping for an upgrade for some time and looking at this specific model. It was well worth the wait and at this price a steal.

Screen quality is amazing. Excellent responsiveness for video although I use it mostly for work. With the extra real estate I can have videos on in the background as I'm working.

If you are running a Windows machine, and upgrading to 4K for the first time as I am, use the recommended DPI scaling, and make sure you restart before making any judgements/further adjustments. It may take some getting used to but well worth it once everything is scaled and configured. If any older apps are blurry, use the "Troubleshoot compatibility" wizard (find the program, right-click, follow prompts).

There are two things I think could be improved on this monitor but at this price, can't really complain...

1. The stand is flimsy and the slightest desk movement causes the monitor to shake side-to-side. This is remedied with a monitor mount which can be had for cheap here. I think some of this is due to the stand connecting with the monitor at the bottom. A mount uses the VESA bolt holes in the middle and adds a lot of stability.

2. The monitor case (not the screen) is a little roughly assembled. There is glue on some edges. But it's black/dark gray and I really can't tell unless looking close.

These are two things that don't really bother me at this price and the screen quality makes up for all of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it ! Can't go wrong with Samsung !
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023
I purchased this 4k monitor after my curved Viewsonic 32in 144hz went belly up. Seller shipped monitor within a week. It arrived securely and without any issues. It came with a Display Port and HDMI cables. I love how big and bright it is. The clear and crisp picture quality is excellent. The colors are deep, true, and vibrant, with zero motion lag. I expected some lag since it's only 60hz, but I was surprisingly impressed. I'm averaging 50fps in MSFS 2020, with zero issues, while connected to my RTX 3070. Don't forget you have to utilize the DP cable to get 60hz refresh rate. BTW: Zero dead pixels !

Con: The monitor itself is adjustable, but the monitor stand cannot be lowered or raised. But it's not an issue.

Overall, I rate this monitor 5 out of 5 stars. Thanks Amazon for offering such a great product and deal. A+

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Home Monitor with Some Trade Offs
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2022
Overall this is a good monitor for home use.

There are better ones out there, but the price point makes this one worth considering. I bought it because I wanted to display text files in larger sizes -- so far, it's doing an excellent job. Text is crisp, and the larger size allows me to both read more easily and multitask. Arguably a similar arrangement could be done through two smaller monitors, as is the case in my business office, but I don't like the screen being divided.

My old monitor was 27 inches. It, too, worked well for many years, but as my eyes have changed, I was feeling more strain to read text. Because I write and edit a lot, among other things, I often have more than one full-sized page open at a time. The problem was larger monitors without higher resolution were not necessarily an improvement. Yes, they enlarged the images, but then the text wasn't as readable. This higher resolution, 4K monitor bridges that gap.

The good:

1) Crisp images and text -- I can run a 4K movie in a window and still have plenty of real estate for other applications.
2) A decent refresh rate -- videogamers no doubt will have quibbles, but for ordinary business use and all but the most sophisticated graphics, it's fine.
3) No dead pixels or screen bleed -- I've been using the monitor a while now, but, of course, these flaws often don't show up right away.

The bad:

1) Color reproduction seems a bit off compared to my old, non-Samsung monitor. The colors lean toward the blue portion of the spectrum. I may play around with the settings more to see if I can warm things up.
2) The display stand is not adjustable and does not swivel. This is a bigger issue than it sounds because it's actually in an computer cabinet with fixed shelving. Yes, I can raise the office chair, but this is the first monitor I've ever owned that can't simply be raised or lowered at the stand.
3) Physical buttons are awkward. There's a circular control in the back that's tough to reach (especially since the monitor also does not swivel). The HDMI and power plugs are on the opposite side . . . which is awkward since the feed for cables in my display cabinet as well as the wall socket are opposite of that. Because the power cable is short, I actually have to use an extension cord to plug it in.

So, if you can live with these limitations -- some of which are specific to my furniture and den set up -- this is a good value for the price.

Time will tell how long it lasts. For the past 10 years or so, I've sworn by Samsung televisions, but a more recent one developed significant display problems because of a long, purple "cloud" across the top of the screen. I'm guessing because the television is so razor thin, the screen buckled from it's own weight, warping that portion.

It's too early to tell if this monitor, which is similar in proportion, will do the same. In more recent years, Samsung seems to be using cheaper parts and components, so I may need to update this review in a few months.
