Affordable monitor. Nothing special, for my son who doesnt care about fancy monitors yet it works great.

Exxellent monitor especially for the price I absolutely love it

I have had this monitor for only 2 weeks, so that is the time span of use I can address. I bought this Samsung monitor because of Samsung’s great reputation with visuals. That definitely stands true. However, the placement of the on/off switch for this screen would be awkward for everyone. It’s located on the far back of the monitor, which makes it hard to reach and impossible to see. Know that the screen does not rotate on the pedestal, and this further complicates this problem. In my case, the monitor sits on a raised ledge at the back of my desk. This does not allow me to shut it off. Poor console design. The switch should be in the front, or if possible, on one side.

My boyfriend got me this monitor so I can have more space to edit my videos. I like how easy it is to use with my MacBook.

I use my Samsung monitor for Karaoke presentations. This is the second Samsung monitor that I have purchased from Best Buy. The first one is going strong after 6 years use with no problems. The second "new" monitor is used with my laptop. The first one is used with a CDG player.

Avery good qaulity monitor for the price. Clear imaging and easy assembly.

Bought for an office NCU works great and is a good bang for your buck.

If you need a quality monitor for basic tasks, or for work, this Samsung S3 model is a great option I’d recommend. While it’s certainly a serviceable gaming monitor, there are better monitors out there to fill your needs. GETTING STARTED Like most monitors, you’ll need to install the stand to attach the monitor (or use the screw holes in the back to mount it). There is no mounting hardware. There is no tiny screwdriver either to help you screw the base stand to the monitor. Inside the box is the monitor, two pieces of the stand, a power cord, an HDMI cord, and an instruction manual. The manual clearly lays out how to install the base stand, but honestly, it’s dead simple as there’s really only one way to do it. After that, you simply plug in the power cable and the HDMI cable and you’re off and running. DESIGN The design is boring, yet at the same time elegant. There are minimal bezels, so the 24 inches of the screen extends all the way to the monitor’s edges. It’s black plastic, which makes it extremely light and thin (other than some metal to weigh the monitor down inside the base stand). It’s distraction free. At its thinnest point, it gets close to OLED thin, which is quite impressive. But I doubt this was designed to “stick out.” I will add I was very pleased with the small size of the power brick. I very much dislike large power bricks for any device and appreciate Samsung creating such a small one. My guess is the power brick exists to make the monitor smaller/lighter, but this one is small. SPECS It’s 1080p LED with 100hz refresh rate. For most tasks and things the average person does on a computer it’s more than adequate. There’s no RGB lights, no syncing with GPUs, and the refresh rate is nothing to write home about. Again, this is your basic working, productivity device. It only has one HDMI port. I don’t need more than one, but I would have preferred DisplayPort (although I can’t really articulate why, as my GPU has HDMI port in addition to DisplayPort). But it works out well when using my laptop which uses HDMI. It does have a VGA cable, which seems odd to me, but I guess that’s for legacy devices. The biggest downside to me is the limited movement adjustments the base allows of you. I had hoped to convert this to portrait landscape as a secondary monitor, but that plan was foiled. It’s landscape only (absent some sort of “arm” to attach to the mounting holes in the back). And it only tilts up and down. It has a surprising amount of range in that regard. And it also, oddly, swivels a hair left and right (as if you could rotate it to portrait mode) but that’s not the case. PERFORMANCE The colors are plenty vibrant and accurate, so no worries there, it’s a Samsung display after all. If you’ve ever had the benefit of using a computer with a high refresh rate, it’s pretty cool. It makes everything look and run smoother. It’s hard going back to 60hz. The 100hz is a happy medium, a little better than “normal” monitors but not quite as nice as some newer laptops for example which pump out really high refresh rates. Watching videos was OK, but not something I’d personally do as my laptop (13 inch) has a higher resolution screen and it’s clearly not as good as my 4K TV. But it’s serviceable. Same goes for gaming. The gaming performance was good. I noticed little to no “tearing” of the visuals, but again, my laptop’s built in screen has a much higher resolution and refresh rate. I prefer the larger screen when I need multiple windows/tabs open to get work done but when I want to play games or watch movies, I much prefer the higher resolution of my smaller screen. But it really all depends on the user and your needs. If I was a dedicated gamer, I wouldn’t recommend this screen, but if you just need a bigger monitor and you will occasionally game, etc., then this will work just fine. The IPS panel means you have great viewing angles. Granted you're mostly going to be looking at it straight on, it's bright, legible and clear from many different viewing angles CONCLUSION I’ve said it several times, but this is a no frills business monitor. Or for someone on a budget. Perfectly acceptable 23 inch monitor for 95% of people out there. Great color, easy to use and setup, little fuss, but don’t expect all the bells and whistles and customization of bigger and more expensive monitors out there.
