The features that this monitor comes packed with should be standard for all monitors. After all, no matter how much you pay nowadays, monitors are just dumb screens, but they can easily be so much more, and this monitor shows that. I knocked a star off because three reasons. 1. I noticed a small gap between the bottom bezel and the screen, which caused some of the backlight to bleed. I'm going to exchange this unit and hope the new one isn't damaged. 2. I could not get the Tap View feature to work. It sounds really neat, but it would not work on mine no matter which part of the bezel I tapped. Maybe there's a problem with the NFC on this monitor that hopefully the replacement will fix. 3. The viewing angles aren't the best, but it's not terrible. Overall, the features that this monitor offers are like no other. For the price, this thing is a steal. For someone like me, who wanted a TV come monitor in one solution without having to hookup my laptop to it each time, this is the perfect. Pair with that inbuilt speakers that sound good and get decently loud, power delivery over USB-C, and Samsung DeX, this is a great buy.

Wanted to treat myself to a newer screen and saw this item on sale and I went for it. I expected the size to be ridiculous for a computer screen howere it isnt. The screen size is just right and will not be oversized at all. The colors are fine and you have the ability to change the playing modes/brightness. I like that the USB C allows you to charge and display the screen of your laptop. I no longer need a power cord and hdmi cable i have less clutter now. The screen also allows for wireless display and it works as expected allowing me to sit further away from the screen and get work done. Apps are already pre loaded like hulu, etc you can download more with the various options in the samsung store. My only dissatisfaction so far is the apparent exclusion of Samsung TV Plus app which gives you some additional viewing options. The monitor can play similar apps it just seems weird this wasn't included or available for download. (I'M LOOKING AT YOU SAMSUNG! I DARE YOU TO INCREASE THE USER EXPERIENCE AND ADD ADDITIONAL VALUE TO THIS ALREADY GREAT PRODUCT AND ADD THE ALREADY FREE APP). I would highly recommend this item especially if you're looking to upgrade your home office experience. The remote allows you to verbally communicate with the screen and get your actions completed quicker.

SUMMARY: This is an interesting monitor as it brings all the smart features of your Samsung TV's but to a monitor. Seriously, it’s packed full of them. But if I could sum up this entire monitor with a single saying it would be this. It’s a jack of all trades but master of none. And I think that is why this monitor is very hit or miss for people. AETHETICS/BUILD QUALITY: Starting off with aesthetics. This monitor is gorgeous and quite slim. It allows you to either use the stand, which is quite slim without any adjustments, or you can use a VESA mount. It even comes with a remote. Which is a new experience for me since this is considered a monitor. The remote is very nice, the same as you get with a Samsung TV. It has good weight and the buttons feel premium. However, they are limited and I would have preferred to have a few more. Unfortunately, due to this the onboard controls are lacking. There is a single button that you use to navigate by pressing it and then you hold to select. This button also serves as the power on/off. Overall build quality is great. I noticed no creaking or issues. PORTS: The ports are a bit unique as well since this is A. considered a monitor and B. a 4k device. It comes with two HDMI ports (2.0 capable of 4k 60 Hz 8 bits which was tested on a premium HDMI cable and RTX 2070) and a single 60-watt USB C port. But NO display port. The USB C connection is neat. As I was able to plug in my iPad Pro along with my Laptop and it not only showed the content but also charged the device. Which I thought was awesome. One thing that bothered me though is that when I put my computer to sleep it would say it couldn’t register a source and then would take 60 seconds to go into hibernation. Where my other monitor would do it immediately. So, I just turn it off instead. Which is neat because the on/off animation is cool looking. FEATURES: It supports Wireless DeX which appears to be a cool feature. But since I don’t own any Samsung phones or Android peripherals it doesn’t work for me. However, it does support Apple Airplay which did work just fine but I found the resolution and color depth to be lacking. It also uses the Tizen interface which I would assume supports all the same apps as their (Samsung’s) TV’s do. I found the interface to be slightly sluggish. But for the price consider it to be exactly where it should be. PICTURE QUALITY: Overall picture quality is good. Colors are accurate and skin tones look good. Despite it being an 8-bit panel. With it being 4K I expected it to be 10-bit. Blacks are pretty black due to the VA panel. But contrast doesn’t appear to be as good as I would expect for a VA panel. Also, since it’s a VA panel it doesn’t have the best viewing angles. I just said VA way too many times. Additionally, I find the brightness to be adequate but not what I want. In comes in at 250 nits. Which by today’s standards isn’t very bright. I consider my minimum to be 350 nits. With high tier monitors (costing at least 2 - 3x as much as this one) coming in around 1000 nits. But this is NOT an HDR monitor so I’m not that surprised. There is a setting under the system setting that automatically adjusts the brightness based on room light. This is On by default and I think is the reason why most complain about the brightness of this monitor because it doesn’t do a great job at adjusting. Once I turned this off and adjusted the brightness in the regular screen settings I no longer had an issue with the brightness as long as I wasn’t in a bright room. Last, when it comes to the overall sharpness of this screen I find it to be not be great and it can look blurry at times. Which shouldn’t happen with a 4k monitor. I also found the latency to be a bit higher than I personally like for gaming. I’m not saying you couldn’t use it for gaming but it’s on the slow side when it comes to that sort of thing. CONCLUSION: I really like that I can use this monitor for a bunch of different things. Such as connecting it to my main PC, then also being able to quickly connect it to my tablet or laptop via USB C. And if I want to watch any streaming media I can just access the smart features. I also found the speakers to sound really good for a monitor. So, if you are looking for a single monitor that can do a bunch of different things this thing is brilliant. If you are wanting fantastic picture quality and not going to use the other features then I’d recommend going with another panel. As the only thing that doesn’t make this an automatic recommendation is that the picture quality while being very solid isn’t great which is a bummer. It feels like I’m buying an entry level panel but getting charged a mid-tier panel price due to the other features. For me personally, and my setup I’d prefer a better panel and sacrifice the other aspects. But if I were back in college or a high school student I’d be all over this guy.

What a display! This is an extremely versatile high resolution device. I put this in a guest/office room so that the majority of the time it is being used as a computer monitor, but if a guest stays in the room, it can be used as a smart TV With the included remote control, genius!

Overall have grown to like this monitor as its a different style altogether. The mixture of monitor and smart tv seemed like you were getting a mediocre version of either and not the case. I needed a USB-C for a MacBook 16 and an HDMI for a Macbook 13 and this fit the spec. Teh remote is handy as constantly changing the screens and stack the macs to save desk space. Added a brio 4K camera and all good for teams, zoom, etc. The cons - screen is rather large and would I prefer a lower, wide version. Also the monitor only has one USB-C port which is limiting but for the price you can’t beat the flexibility to change the input and watch Hulu! Take a chance on this one as each day you get used to it more and more!
