  Nice dual 38" replacement

  • Owned for 2 weeks

  I’d been waiting for a panel that could legitimately replace my dual AW3821DW setup without sacrificing horizontal workspace or pixel density. This display finally checks those boxes. The 5K2K resolution is a meaningful upgrade over the 3840×1600 Alienwares. Text rendering is noticeably cleaner, UI scaling behaves better, and the extra pixels and size make a real difference for code, timelines, and multi‑window workflows. Color uniformity, contrast stability, and motion handling are all excellent for a VA panel at this size and curvature. The 180Hz refresh rate paired with low response times keeps latency tight, and the pixel structure is crisp enough that fine‑detail work doesn’t suffer. The only drawbacks are the narrower viewing angles inherent to VA technology and a slightly lower peak brightness compared to top‑tier HDR monitors. Neither is a deal‑breaker, but they’re worth noting if you work off‑axis or in a very bright room. Overall, it’s a substantial technical upgrade and finally lets me consolidate back to a single ultrawide without compromise.

  Excellent 5K2 Gaming display with a curve

  • Incentivized

  • Owned for 2 months

  Amazing color and immersive curve bring you into the game. This display was exactly what I was looking for at the price I wanted to spend. There are quite a few people saying that it isn’t as good as an OLED…. That's because it isn’t an OLED. It also is no where near as expensive as one. The Samsung holds its own with bright vibrant colors and great viewing angles for the user. There were a few people mentioning that it falls short because if you are looking at it from an angle it looks washed out and bland. I'm not sure why would would lean 8-12" to the side while playing a game to get a different view of your screen… but to each his own, I guess =) The generous curve keeps the washed out angle to a non-existent level. The VRR Sync keeps screen tearing gone. I had nothing but positive results when playing. 180 Hz refresh keeps everything smooth onscreen HDR10+ 600 looks great Crazy fast response time (1ms) I can't praise this display enough I can't speak of the stand as I have my display mounted on the wall above my desk.

  Perfect Size and Resolution

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  Pros: 4K resolution Size, especially height Easy assemble Games look beautiful Cons: Viewing angle HDR is a little weak Settings buttons are difficult to use Assembly: The assembly was easy even with the instructions that are only pictures. You basically have a stand in two pieces which you must assemble and attach to the monitor face down in the box. Stand it straight up and attach a panel to the back to hide all the hardware. Very simple. The stand is large so make sure you have enough space on your desk for it. It also moves and angles in all directions. Size and Resolution: This monitor has the perfect size and resolution for your gaming and productivity work. I tried different Call of Duty and Forza games, and they did look beautiful. I had a UWQHD monitor before this and while this monitor is not as wide, it is taller and is 4K which honestly makes everything clearer. It is also compatible with all the games I have tried unlike the ultrawide monitor which some games, especially older ones, didn’t work with the ultra-wide resolution. It also appears to have a big curvature unlike other curved monitors I have seen, but this may be just an illusion. Video Quality: The colors on the monitor are vibrant and a pleasure to look at, especially with modern AAA games. The frame rate works perfectly with my nVidia 4070 Ti Super even though it is lower at 180Hz than a lot of other gaming monitors. I saw no stuttering and especially no screen tearing. This does have FreeSync which a assume helps that, and it does work well. I found that even though the colors look good normally, I saw a little improvement when enabling HDR, but it made a much more noticeable difference on my older monitor. The only real change I noticed is that the screen got a little brighter. The black levels look good although you can see a tiny bit of bleed through if you are really looking out for it. Under normal use, you wouldn’t even notice it. The brightness and contrast is are about average. Now all that being said, the viewing angle is absolutely terrible, the worst I have probably seen. If you are sitting right in front of it, with its curvature, it is fine. If you have someone off to the side looking at it, forget about it. Connections: Now this is one of my favorite parts of this monitor. All the connections are straight out the back making it very easy to plug and unplug cables and find the right connections. I find that on most monitors that have an indentation where the connections are, cables are hard to plug and unplug them, especially if the monitor is in place and you are trying to find the connections with a flashlight. I am so happy this isn’t the case here. It has 1 DP 1.4, 2 HDMI 2.1, USB-A, and headphone. All work as expected and should be enough for what you need. You can always buy an external switchbox if you need more connections. Now the sound is interesting. Even though it doesn’t have any speakers, the computer’s sound device will automatically switch to it even though you won’t hear anything. You must manually switch it to another sound device. This is not obvious or expected when the sound stops working. I assume it has something to do with the headphone connection, which I don’t even understand its purpose. There is an external power brick that I would call medium in size that has a connection to it. It comes with an HDMI and DP cables, however both are very short so you may have to buy longer ones. Fortunately, I had longer ones in my cable collection that everyone probably has. Standby: When the input connection is lost it will go on standby and only after a few seconds. When the input connection is restored, it comes on fairly quickly. When it comes on, there is no text or boxes temporarily obscuring the image. My old monitor has several dialog boxes that explained how to use the monitor when it came out of standby every time, and there was no way I knew of to turn that off. Controls and Settings: The main control is a center directional control, surrounded by directional buttons. Despite being in the middle of the monitor and laid out this way, I find it hard to find the various buttons. To power on the unit, press the center control. To power it off, it is in a menu option; there is no power button for it. Pressing the center control brings up the menu. From this menu, you can select to bring up other menus, select input, eye saver mode, and power off. The menus are very nicely laid out and logical. Strangely, the setting for auto detecting the input is defaulted off which means the first time I used it, I had to select the input. Here are the menu settings: Game: Response time Adaptive sync Black equalizer Virtual aim point Infinity core lighting Screen size Picture: Picture mode Brightness Contrast Sharpness Color Tint Local dimming Contrast enhancer PIP/PBP: PIP/PBP mode Mode type Screen size Screen position Source Sound source Screen ratio On screen display: Language Display time System: SeeColors mode Save energy Volume Off timer plus PC/AV mode Auto source switch Overall: This is a nice monitor, especially the size and resolution. It is a little pricy but that is probably what you are paying for. The image quality is really good, but the viewing angle is terrible so something to consider if that is important to you. The menus provide enough to tinker with, but not too much to make things confusing. The connection positions on the back are excellent. I’d say if you can afford it, it is a go.
