It works, got it for cheap, does it’s function and so far did not break

kinda good if you are looking for a good monitor with cheap price

Looks great wish the built in speakers work, great for Call of Duty

Really nice quality and brightness. Overall good, it serves its purpose.

Good monitor, nothing too special, it’s a little slow to turn on and switch input but it’s good

Not quite what I was looking for. It was not 4K which was disappointing

Not to bad. Nice stand Will return and get the 4k version.

Good monitor use it for my gaming pc with a Ryzen 7 5800x and 3060

I love this monitor for this price 240hz for fps and movies

I’ve never bought an “Open Box” item and I now see why. Products was caked in finger prints and smear marks and this is a gaming monitor. Never once did it mention it was a display model any where in the description it only listed it as excellent condition. Also I would have just bought a brand new one but this was the only one they had available as they canceled my original order stating it was out of stock. I may have been able to get past it and clean it off but when I happily got home and was ready to open the product I received a monitor, and stand. That’s it. No power cord no display cord no hdmi. So now what I’m supposed to go and buy one? Someone please let me know if this is typical because I’m so annoyed right now at this whole thing and a monitor does not run off of battery so I feel like it should have been included. Also I feel like you guys should mention it’s a display model instead of ripping people off and listing it under excellent. Guess I will just be using Amazon from now on. Way to waste my time and $300.

You get what you pay for. Best monitor for the cheapest price

Solidly built monitor with some nice features. THE GOOD ~ Bright ~ Good size ~ 240Hz Refresh ~ Easy Buttons ~ Sturdy stand ~ Adjustable stand ~ Comes with HDMI and Display Port cables ~ IPS ~ Colors THE BAD ~ Sound? ~ Proprietary power ~ Bezel bigger than how it appears THE MEH (Could go either way) ~ Proprietary power ~ 1080p OVERALL Overall, the monitor is very good. It's 1080p and I knew that before I got it. I'm running a dual monitor system with a 2K 144Hz LED monitor and a 1080 IPS monitor. I got this originally to use with another computer, but I decided to set it up on this one first in order to compare it with the all the same hardware. Opening the box, I was impressed with how neatly it was packed. That may sound crazy, but a lot of things I open seem like they are jammed in there at strange angles or like they had someone try to create a brain teaser for the best way to get it into the box. This was neat and simple. The next thing that I appreciated is the inclusion of both an HDMI *and* Display Port cables. Unfortunately, I left the power for my old monitor plugged in because every monitor I've had since 1995 has used the same type power cord. This is totally different. I'm not a fan of proprietary cords because if you have something like a Rottweiler puppy living with you, things get chewed. It's so much easier (and cheaper) to be able to repurpose that old cord in the drawer. This seems to be a common practice now, manufacturers put a thin plastic bezel around the monitor and then use some of the screen itself as a bezel. In all, it creates about a 1/4" bezel. Putting the monitor together was simple. The vertical part of the base feels like something you could use to defend your house or hit a home run. It feels rock solid. The monitor fired right up as soon as I turned on my computer. It actually came to life faster than my main monitor. I got into my game and realized I had no sound. When I investigated, I saw the system changed my sound to the Samsung monitor. To be honest, I wonder why anyone puts sound in a monitor. The sound didn't work. I went into the settings, found "Volume" and turned it all the way up. Nothing. Doublechecking the website, it says there are no integrated speakers. That leads to another question, why is "Volume" in the GUI if it doesn't exist? There are some nice presets for the monitor to help you get the best use out of it. I checked them out until I settled on one. This monitor is bright! You can see in the pics the difference between the two. Gameplay was fast and fun. In 2k I normally average about 105-120 FPS. With the Samsung Odyssey, I have seen the counter go to about 200 FPS. Playing World of Tanks I saw no tearing whether I was playing a wheelie, brawling or observing someone else and spinning the free camera as fast as possible. I REALLY like the button placement and ease of use on this monitor. It is in the middle at the bottom and is very user friendly. My other monitor has them in a weird place and they aren't as easy to get to or navigate. ******** The Most Important Part: Would I recommend this top someone? Absolutely. It is a sharp looking monitor with a very good image quality and brightness. I have zero dead/stuck pixels and haven't seen any banding on black/dark videos like I do on my 2K monitor. The caveat, of course, is I would recommend it to someone who likes to game at 1080 or who doesn't need higher than HD. Definitely good enough for most people. In reality I would give this 4.5/5 stars because of the power cord and the volume issue. I think it's more fair to round up here because I really don't want sound and for many people the proprietary power won't even come into question.

Haven’t had a monitor for while since my cat broke line and this is the best choice especially on Black Friday

I like it completely its simply beautiful i have no complaints

Lack of memory to download apps o even to do upgrades.. Power button controlling is nonsense

Great refresh rate but I wish it had ba better resolution.

Will be returning this monitor due to the fact of the stuck pixels. For some reason I have extremely bad luck with monitors as the last two I’ve bought have came with dead pixels. I don’t get it and don’t understand how 400$ monitors even on sale have these consistent issues. Aside from that, when in dark settings in games, my monitors flashes terribly from gray to black. Don’t know if this can be fixed at all but have been tweaking the settings.

Samsung has done an excellent job producing a display with beautiful picture quality, fast refresh rate, and lightning fast response time. I paired this monitor with my HP Omen gaming PC, and I'm really enjoying it so far. The unit comes securely and thoughtfully packaged, and includes the monitor, the stand, the power cord/power supply, an HDMI cable, and a display port cable. The stand is highly adjustable and is tall enough that the display can be easily used in portrait mode as well as the traditional landscape mode. The included cables feel very heavy-duty, and are of sufficient length for the average desktop setup. The power cable is proprietary, which is disappointing, since almost every PC and monitor (and printer, etc.) use the same type power plug, but this isn't my first Samsung monitor, and the other had a similar power cord/supply arrangement. Assembling the stand and attaching the monitor took just a few seconds and involved a single Phillips screw. I had the monitor setup and powered on in less than fie minutes. Initially, I watched some HD content from Netflix just to get an idea of the picture quality and I watched some college football footage to see how the monitor handles motion. I really love both the bright, colorful and very natural picture, and the almost blur-free and judder-less motion. Next I opened the Xbox app and played Fallout 76 to get a look at the contrast quality with the dark scenes at the beginning of the game. Again, I was impressed. Microsoft Flight Simulator also looked stunning and motion was smooth and natural. If you don't need a UHD display, and 1080p HD with a blazing fast refresh rate and instantaneous response time meets your needs, this will be a fabulous monitor. I think it will also be great for power users who need to have two windows open side by side, but don't have room for a multi-monitor setup, or those who work on legal-sized documents and need the portrait display capability.

Not for gaming at all unless your on a very tight budget i guess... only 1080p and horrible quality on fast movement images/video on your screen. I posted pictures comparing the monitor with my 4k laptop screen, my laptop wins hands down and its over 5 years old.

This monitor delivers everything a gamer could want. The 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make gameplay incredibly smooth and responsive, with no noticeable lag or ghosting. Colors are vibrant and accurate thanks to the IPS panel, and G-Sync keeps everything tear-free. The 27-inch screen size is perfect for immersive gaming, and the slim design looks great on the desk. An excellent upgrade for anyone seeking top-tier performance.
