I’m very happy with this monitor. The image quality is sharp, colors look great, and it was easy to set up. It works perfectly for work, multitasking, and everyday use. Great value for the price and very reliable so far.

Great Gaming Monitor for PC gamers not looking to break the bank. The 100Hz refresh rate is a nice upgrade from the average 60hz of cheaper monitors. Make sure you set your pc refresh rate in your Windows settings to 100hz to get the maximum performance out of this monitor. It has a great curved feature and is able to be adjusted forwards and backwards for your perfect set up

The screen itself is amazing & the size is really nice. It’s a clear image and I love the curve. However, the speakers suck. For some odd reason the sounds skips badly as if it’s too loud and it also skips through videos as if the connection is bad. Within seconds a video at 21 min will be at 32 min

No issues absolutely a fantastic buy! I have been so much more productive with this monitor and it’s the perfect size the curvature makes it even more nicer and it sits very well on my desk I love it

I bought this monitor with high expectations because it’s curved. However, the visual clarity is a bit lacking, likely due to the resolution being around 100. That said, it’s still fine for general tasks and watching videos. But for gaming or high-end graphic work, it may not be sufficient. I’d recommend this only for those looking for a budget-friendly curved monitor for light use.

The Samsung S39GD is a good monitor that has a little something for everyone.
Work:
This is a great monitor for work because it has a good anti-reflective coating, glare from lights is greatly reduced. There is also 2 eye saver modes that will reduce eye fatigue for those that are on the screen for a prolonged time. One of the best things about the monitor is that is has a 100 mhz refresh rate, once you go over 60 htz there is no going back. Everything just looks smooth when scrolling and switching applications. There is little to no screen flickering which was great for my eyes. The text look good however if you get super close you can see some distortion but this isn’t a 4k display so that’s a given. The included stand has a tilt function, but you cannot adjust the height.
Personal:
Even though the panel does not have HDR it handles colors exceptionally well. The blacks look dark and the colors pop. Even though its stated to have a max brightness of 250 the contrast is so good that you’re not struggling to turn up the brightness, I have noticed this with many Samsung monitors the 250 nits is better than most companies 300 nit screens. The colors do look a lot better when viewing it directly centered, because of the anti-reflective coating you get a white glaze if you look at it from the side. The curve on the monitor is very slight, personally it does not add or take away from the monitor. The monitor has built in speakers but they are not very loud so you will need external speakers if you want to good sound.
Gaming:
The monitor is decent for gaming, being able to have 100 mhz refresh rate is great. The lack of HDR is rough as you don’t get the full experience when it comes to gaming or movies however as mentioned above the contrast is really good so the colors still pop enough.
Samsung has made a great all around monitor. I used it with my Mac and Windows machines and it worked as needed. The monitor is light and easy to setup, one of the best things about the S39GD is how responsive the control button is. Every click registers quickly, this is a huge issue with so many monitors that are 3 times the price.
Pros: Cons
-Refresh rate -No USB C or USB connectors
-Works great with windows and Mac -Speakers are low quality
-Anti-glare screen -Of center viewing isn’t the best
-Responsive controls
-All the ports are in the back which reduces clutter.
-Tilting screen
