Great video quality overall 8.5/10 for competitive gameplay curved usually isn't the best option but overall great monitor.

Couldn't be tilted and came with missing components, a bit upsetting. But monitor wise it is very nice and no issues so far.

NOT VESA MOUNT COMPATIBLE

I would give this 5 stars, but the holes they have in the back for the vesa mounts do not fit properly. The top holes are too close to the top curve of the indented circle, thus making it impossible to mount. Could you go to the hardware store and buy longer screws, washers, and bolts to make it work? Absolutely. But, the back needs to be re-designed to actually give enough room for the vesa mount to fit.
Maybe there's another "size" vesa mount out there that would work, but the blanket statement of "vesa mount compatible" is very misleading.
Overall, if you don't need it mounted, it has very good picture and refresh. I normally go with a 1ms refresh, but the 4ms is hardly noticeable to me - but I'm not using it for a gaming profession - more just casually playing/streaming PvP and solo campaign games.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Monitor, Poor VESA Mount Design

I bought this monitor to be prepared for my new gaming PC when it arrives in the mail and so far, it seems really great. As of now, I’ve only used it with my work computer so I can’t really comment on how well the G-Sync works but from watching videos and doing my normal work tasks, the features work how they’re supposed to. Just be careful when you’re buying this if you’re planning to use a VESA mount with it. It’s perfectly VESA compatible with 75x75 mounts, but I guess the engineers at Samsung were never told that virtually every readily available VESA mount on the market designed for monitors is both 75x75 AND 100x100 compatible. The problem there is that the part that sticks out past the 75x75 portion of the mount won’t fit properly due to the mounting area on the back of the monitor being recessed. I tried reaching out to Samsung to see if they had a recommended VESA mount for this monitor and they gave me nothing. I tried looking for an adapter for this monitor and there’s nothing for it. I tried to find a VESA mount that is only 75x75 without the 100x100 portion and couldn’t find anything on that front either. The only solutions I could find for this issue were to either use long spacers to allow clearance of the raised lip which could be a viable option but it seems a bit sketchy and looks like it would put excess pressure on the mounting screws rather than distributing the weight across the whole backplate OR take an angle grinder to the VESA mount and cut off the 100x100 portion to basically create your own 75x75 mounting bracket which seems like the better option of the two in the long run but I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and don’t have access to and angle grinder. All of that being said, if you are fine using the stand or have your own mounting solution, this monitor should work well for you.

The curved screens are great, but where the VESA mount gets installed it gets caught on the top area due to mounting surface is in a rounded recess. Even with adding spacers the top of the bracket still hit, I have three of these monitors connected to a triple desk mount and it sets up just right. The clarity of the screens is really good.

I found this monitor about a month ago and I have loved it. The refresh rate is solid and the screen adjustments you can make provide an easy-to-work-with experience. The only issue I've had was that the monitor stand was larger than I was expecting, taking up considerable space on my desk. This is no fault of the products however, just something I would have liked to know beforehand.

For being a Samsung 240hz monitor I wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this monitor I am very happy with it I’ve tried them all, ASUS, aoc, BenQ, predator, and I have to say this monitor is up there in a blind test you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, this is a good purchase
