Great "Monitor" for Computer Use
I went through a good number of screens before I found this one, including many purpose built computer monitors to no avail. I tried UHD and QHD, nothing I tried felt like a significant upgrade from my old LG 27" 1080p screens that I had three of in a triple screen setup. I was working with a good deal of real estate already, so I wanted something that could provide more. I tried out a few 27" 4K screens, everything was too small. I tried some 1440p screens, I wasn't impressed. I tried out an LG 4K IPS TV and I couldn't seem to find a happy place with the color settings. Then, I decide to try out this Samsung 40" 4K... and IT'S AMAZING! Of all the screens I tried (at least 6) this one has the best color reproduction and clarity with my Windows 10 system. I am running it from my ASUS Dual GTX1060 and it achieves 60Hz which is fine for me since I don't do a lot of gaming, mostly production. 40" is a really nice size for running 4K on your PC, a lot of real estate and the pixel density is great. The HDR mode on this TV give a very nice depth to your picture and the contrast is also very very good on this VA panel. I absolutely love the voice control remote, it's simple and now I don't like using the other remotes in my house because this one has spoiled me with it's ease of use and the button feel. Even the way this screen looks when it's off, that is to say the aesthetics, is great... it's a good looking TV both on and around the screen, looks very high end as compared to many other screens at comparable prices. I cannot recommend this screen enough for computer use, but of course it's excellent as a smart TV too. I just wanted to review it as a computer screen first and foremost because that will be my primary use of this 4K TV. There are some excellent reviews of the model on YouTube, in fact watching the review a friend of mine did on this TV is what made me decide to give it try, glad I did because I don't think I could go back to using anything under 40" @ 4K. Try it out, see what you think if you want a great screen for productivity... gamers might want something over 60Hz, but games still look amazing on this screen and are very playable @ 60Hz for me personally.

Nice TV!!!
My first smart tv. Easy to set up. Good picture. Bought a Samsung sound bar to go with it. Remote control sound button confusing until I figured out toggle. Optical cable - remove white protectors first. All the things I learned by trial and error with this tv are more common place now. Beats the heck out of my 15 year old 20 inch tv!

Great entry-level 4k HDR set
Upgraded from a Samsung 32" 1080p (2015). I like the increased contrast and color quality. Seeing as most UHD blu-Ray players are at least as expensive as this set, I am holding out on 4k content. So far I have enjoyed screen sharing with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Hulu and Youtube look great! For anyone looking to start exploring 4k and all it has to offer, this TV is a great fit. I use my old Samsung remote from the aforementioned 2015 set. I did not like the smart remote.

Great picture, great sound
My previous unit (another brand) was affected by lightning and I needed to buy another. Prices are down considerably from a few years ago for the same size set. Each of my other 2 TVs are 4K smart units, and have excellent pictures. This new one is no exception, and the big plus point for me is the sound. Partly because I spent many years in the broadcast radio industry listening through very good studio speakers, and partly because I'm now an older American (hearing not as sharp as years ago) I find the listening very enjoyable; I did not have to go into settings and fiddle with the treble and bass settings. Straight from the factory it sounds just right !!! Almost forgot to mention the small, easy to use remote.
