I was expecting a little better quality as I have a dead pixel already. I have not had a dead pixel from any brand prior to this so I was surprised since this is a higher end model.

Samsung is my trusted brand, this was a great monitor but 27" was too big for Work from Home and we ended up returning it for 2 Samsung 24" monitors.
Good Quality, and very nice display.

Bought this for my wife for work. She loves it. Helped her production and efficiency greatly. She was completely against adding a monitor to her laptop because she thought it would be too much, now she'll never go back.

Very happy with this purchase. I bought it while it was on discount. Works great with PS4, however, it only pushes out 60hz. I want to see what it really can achieve. It have a fantastic menu setup.

I purchased two of these monitors, and they work fantastic. I have been using them for a while now, and I am even ordering a 3rd one now since my cat broke my other one. Great purchase, I recommend these to anyone.

A good monitor - but dislike the VS Panel type.

I was very unsatisified with this monitor. I bought this before I decided to return it and get the 32" LG UltraGear IPS monitor instead.
The quality of it seemed good. But the VS screen... I could see individual pixels during certain color saturation on the screen. It was very distracting. And once I noticed it in yellows, I could start to see it more and more under other conditions. I know it's a drawback of the monitor screen type. And there are other reviews on here warning people about it. I read though before I bought this thinking I could just get use to it. But for me, it was just too distracting.
Nothing against Samsung at all, the monitor itself is awesome! But the VS display just isn't for me.

Monitor met expectations for display quality, but stand does not have the ability to tilt / rise. Ended up returning monitor as a result.
When disassembling the monitor, you need to pull VERY hard on the monitor stand for it to separate.

Clear and crisp image. Very responsive frame rate. Games look great! Controls for settings are a little finicky. Tiny little button under the screen. Takes some practice but works well once you get it sorted.

Excellent Monitor with Great capabilities and features. Does exactly as advertised. There are some small gaps between pixels which may lead to some minor quality reduction due to the size of the monitor. (1920x1080)

Great monitor! Very good picture quality and the size is perfect for the games that my son plays. We got this monitor because of the 240Hz refresh rate.

Have not used it much so far but the 3 star rating is caused by the first one being a dud right out of the box, It would run for a few seconds then drop signal, re-acquire it, drop it, etc. Had to return It for an exchange and haggle a little bit with Best Buy to exchange the whole unit instead of giving me a new HDMI cable. I had already swapped that out at home. Luckily Apple had a rep at the store so he got involved and hooked it to a display MacBook Pro which is what I had and almost immediately told them the monitor was faulty. Then I got a new one, which I made them unbox and check in the store. So after all this typing I feel like changing the review to a 2 star.
