I purchased this monitor to go along with the gaming pc that I purchased for my granddaughter for her birthday. The reasons I purchased this monitor is because its a Samsung (my favorite brand) and its curved. The visual appearance of the monitor is excellent. It was definitely worth the purchase.

Serves its purpose but g sync dosnt work. I’ve tried EVERYTHING to get it to show up on nvidia control panel. No luck.
Backlight bleed is pretty bad but it comes with the panel type. No flickering like reported pre-update on the g7’s and up. The 1500r is apparent and takes some getting used to but after using regularly it’s not an eye sore and kinda nice. The color correctness is nice for RGB and SRGB spectrum, allowing the monitor to perform well in content creation and other color critical tasks.
One problem I ran in to is the vesa mount screws on the back of the monitor don’t allow a very large vesa mount surface due to the surface plastic on the back of the monitor. Meaning that I could only mount my monitor to the arm with 2 screw instead of the 4. It didn’t mess anything up for me because I barely adjust my monitor. But it was still annoying to find out upon purchasing.
The price for the monitor is fair being a 1080p 240hz with top notch build quality. The bezels are slim and the materials look and feel nice.
Would recommend if purchased as an open box like I did at a reduced price. Otherwise I’d look else where for a 240hz 1080p monitor.

Purchased two of these monitors. I’m using for a work from home setup. So far the have been awesome. I landed on these monitors after a horrible experience with two HPs that wouldn’t functional properly. If you like a curve and looking for a mountable option this monitor is a solid choice.

Excellent color. Excellent response time. 10/10 would buy again.
Assembly was a tad tricky. But it’s been a while since I’ve done a monitor, and frankly, a 27” screen makes for a little bit of an awkward positioning issue, unless you’ve got a large flat surface to work on.

I got this to upgrade my setup at home and it honestly changed the game for me. Going from 24" screen to 27" doesn't sound like it'd be that different but it's a whole new world, especially if the monitor is over 144hz! Still in the process of getting used to it but definitely do not regret making this change.

Although I am sure that the monitor is great for gaming, I don't use it for that. I use it because I frequently have tons of windows open. I also do video and 3D content creation. It has been wonderful for both purposes. It is a solid performer, with a great refresh rate.

Really nice monitor for avid gamers. colors are great and refresh rate is on the better end. resolution is ok since its 1080p but who can complain at this price. the curve is subtle yet helps with eye strain on long gaming sessions and its at perfect height

This is honestly the perfect storm of a monitor; it has G-sync, is curved, and 240Hz refresh rate. The monitor itself has a minimalist frame and even takes cord management seriously for those who desire such features. I purchased two and they work amazing side by side.

Built for gaming, but not bad at all for work too. I use this as my extended monitor at work and I like the immersive experience that the curved monitor brings. Great monitor, certainly overkill for what I need, but it is so good on my eyes I'm loving it.

I can’t comment on the specs but I originally purchased my son a nice Samsung Smart TV and he kept complaining about the TV lagging. So I purchased this gaming monitor and it’s been peaceful. The monitor came as described and fits a compact sized desk with space for a laptop.
