"Fantasic monitor for Xbox X/PS Pro"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Just plugged this monitor in and WOW. The Xbox X looks amazing.

Tried Forza 7 and Wow, no adjust to colour yet and very nice colour out of the box.

Was going to get the AOC monitor but in reviews this one was slightly better colour, viewing angles and an eyesaver feature.

Plugged it into HDMI port 2 and picked up 4k stright away.

You need to plug it into the HDMI 2 port to get 60hrz else if you plug it into port 1 will be only 30hrz.

Just thought to mention this to any other buyers.

This monitor is highly recommended for Xbox X and PS Pro.

Great for a budget monitor and reviews out ot slightly better than the other listed AOC monitor.

The only drawback is only has 2 HDMI and 1 Display port, plus headphone jack as no speakers.

If using this for xbox or ps only, then this is not an issue.

You can also wall mount this or a better stand.

Rather than buttons has a joystick to adjust settings or turn it on and off and another reason I got this over the AOC as the buttons on that are poor according to reviews, were tge joystick on the Samsung works better.

"Best monitor I've owned."
5 stars"

I've been using this monitor for just over 3~ years now, I would never go back to 1920×1080. This monitor has been used mainly for gaming and I have been very very happy with it. Now that the large curved widescreens are out I would seriously look at those these days, but if you're after a decent 28" monitor then this is perfect for work. (Make your boss buy one for the office!)

"Excellent value, superb resolution, accurate colours"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I use this for photo editing, and it's a huge improvement on my old HD LG monitors, though not quite up to the standard of pro monitors costing 4 or 5 times as much!

"DO NOT BUY. Flickery awful garbage."
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape
The good
I didn't pay full price.
Alright for gaming, I guess-
The bad

– TERRIBLE flickering, particularly egregious on mid/dark greys and solid colours.
- Has a VESA mount, but it's so high on the monitor that most VESA stands won't be tall enough, the weight balance caused by the off-centre mounting location will cause tilt adjustments to sag down, and portrait mode is unusable for the same reason.
- Built in stand has very little adjustment
- No speakers. Has a headphone jack on the back but when I tested the volume control made almost no difference. At 0 it was muted, at 1 it was medium loud, and at full it was only slightly louder.
- Input switching is awkward
- The Samsung utility for editing the custom presets for some of the features doesn't work on modern versions of Windows.

The Flickering Problem: This monitor gives me eyestrain and it took me a while to figure out why: it flickers! Look at some of the negative reviews on Amazon and you'll see people complaining about the same thing. It's not just me, I've had other people look at my monitor and say the same thing. We've got 5 of these at work and they all do it.

Set your wallpaper to a solid colour. Mid-grey seems the worst. Observe horrible flickering. It's less noticeable on pure black or white, but it's still uncomfortable to look at so I'm sure it's there.

If you're a programmer, or use professional tools with dark colour themes, the flickering and eyestrain might drive you mad. Not all 4K monitors are like this! Buy an AOC or a Dell or anything but this piece of garbage.

I expected better from Samsung.

"I love it"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

So I've seen some less than great reviews for this product and I just don't get it, it's a great gaming monitor and really good value for money. Looks really nice, clean black lines and really good colour quality, what more can you want-
