    I don't see what all the hype is about. If you think you need a super fast 1ms monitor with all this nonsense to be a better gamer, it's a skill issue bro, not a tech issue. This looks nice but that's about it. Also started acting weird just a week after buying it. Won't always turn on when the computer comes out of sleep mode, but my other monitor will.

    Doesn’t work well with the PS5. It would boot up in an over saturated and over dark mode. I would press eye saver on and off for it to go to normal and pick up the correct color profile. I had to return it but when the colors were rig it it looked nice.

    Sounds great, but it constantly disconnects from the tv. To fix, you have to unplug the soundbar, turn off the tv, plug it back in and wait for it to connect. Something of this price shouldn’t have to be messed with that much. Not a good purchase.

    Find a Better Budget Monitor - This Is Not It

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    There are some great budget monitors out there. This is not one of them. Although the monitor has a 2k resolution and high refresh rate, the monitor was simply not clear and the colors were dull. I returned (2) of these monitors because my Dell G Series monitors from 2021 are simply better looking with a slightly lower refresh rate. I was not willing to give up clarity for refresh rate. I will wait for a better option in my budget at another time.

    Don't Buy It. Save Yourself The Trouble

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My issue with it is that I'll be using it and every 5-10 minutes the screen will turn off and go black for 2 seconds and it will boot up again and you'll see the Samsung logo appear. It's very annoying and I can't return it anymore. I've tried different cables and it does the same thing. Save yourself the trouble and go for a different monitor.

    Dead pixel and auto input connectivity doesn’t work. Also, too few buttons. I want a single button for changing input without having to drill into the menu and scroll around. Idk why monitors are moving away from this. Picture is fine, but dead pixel and can’t auto switch inputs (even when feature is enabled), not sure if I’ll try another Samsung.

    Great monitor for console gaming.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This monitor is advertised as 180Hz but is actually 144Hz if you use HDMI. You can get 180Hz is you use DisplayPort. I’m using this for a gaming console that is only capable of 120Hz so it’s no big deal. For console this monitor is beautiful. 2K is sharp. I’ve been enjoying this monitor for console gaming and will probably never go back to gaming on a TV. I’m gaming on an Xbox Series S.
