The screen is very nice and works very well with 240 hertz, but is very delicate. G-sync is a little shaky on the monitor as well, but it is not the best. I only bought the monitor because of the black Friday sale. $400 is a bit too much for a monitor of this quality.

Frustrated to find out it's not gsync built in. After enabling adaptive sync it lowers the timing and games get a weird outline. When it's such a pain to buy a monitor, I really wish these listing were more accurate.

I was never able to get the settings right for this monitor for my pc so I sold it. I also tried it on my Xbox series x and everything was faded. I would save money and get a better monitor. I upgraded to a asus predator Xb3 and love it.

Non-mountable monitor

After weeks of researching how to mount this gaming monitor, we found out that this monitor can only be mounted with a special plate because the hollow section in back of the monitor is only compatible with what Samsung wants you to buy, beware! Samsung will ask you to buy a metal plate through a 3rd-party supplier. This metal plate is not available in any store and its only available for Samsung monitors. If you read the reviews in Google, you will find many customers facing the same challenge of mounting it. Terrible design by Samsung.

Like the title says. It cant connect to the internet. Ive had it for a few days and it worked perfectly fine for a bit and then it suddenly just stopped working properly. Ive tried everything i can think of to fix it but it just isnt working. Other than this issue i really like the graphics of the computer which is the reason i got it. But if i cant use it then the graphics do me no good if all im going to do is stare at my wallpaper.

This monitor absolutely blows. I have an older, 21" monitor side by side with it and the resolution of the samsung is grainy and pixelated (yes it's set to 1920x1080), checked all the settings, made sure it's set to 240hz etc. Even had me looking online for drivers to see if I was missing anything but nope, this monitor is just dog. For $400 this is honestly infuriating. Will be returning in the morning.

It is very unfortunate that I bought this item. First, the cable come with it doesn't fit any of the ports in any of my computers. Second, the sound is not working since day one. My mistake is that I didn't try this item when I received it because I was moving to another house. So, I found out that it has manufacturing problems after more than one month when I started using it.
It is not worth its value.

This Samsung monitor of 27inches is a good size for any project you have in mind, Excel sheets, Word Processors, SW design and the curve design give you a sense of privacy. Tthe video resolution for movies is awesome, it is very difficult while working not to watch a movie on this monitor. The colors, realism is fantastic. For the price the high refresh rate, 240hz, over 120pfs and color accuracy, it is good investment.
