    For the price point I have zero complaints. It's a monitor and it monitors well. Connections are easy to make and picture clarity is good.

    Great Second Monitor for a Dual-Monitor MacBook

    Perfect Second Screen for Dual-Monitor Setup with MacBook Pro ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) I recently purchased the Samsung 27" S3 (S36GD) LED FHD 100Hz Curved Monitor to use alongside another monitor with my MacBook Pro, and overall I’m pleased with it. Why I Bought It I already had one similar Samsung monitor and wanted to create a dual-monitor setup for improved productivity. This monitor fit well with my existing setup and has blended in nicely with my workflow. What I Like: Great match for dual setup: The design and size complement my other monitor perfectly, making the extended desktop across both screens feel seamless. Smooth visuals: The 100Hz refresh rate makes a noticeable difference for everyday use — scrolling, dragging windows, and light gaming feel fluid and responsive. Curved screen adds immersion: The subtle curve is comfortable on the eyes and helps draw you into work or content without being distracting. Easy connectivity: It’s simple to hook up via HDMI, and macOS detects it quickly — no fussing with settings required. Crisp display at this price point: The FHD panel looks clear for documents, browsing, coding, and watching videos, which is exactly what I need for general productivity. What Could Be Better: Not ideal for color-critical work: If you do professional photo/video editing with strict color requirements, this monitor won’t match higher-end color-accurate displays — but for everyday productivity it’s solid. Stand adjustability is limited: The tilt is fine, but there’s no height or pivot adjustment. I solved this with a dual-monitor mount, which worked great. Overall Experience: This Samsung S3 monitor has been a great addition to my dual-monitor setup with my MacBook Pro. It delivers smooth performance, a comfortable viewing experience, and pairs nicely with my existing screen. If you want a reliable, good-looking curved monitor for productivity and everyday use, this is a strong choice. Final Verdict: A reliable second monitor for dual-monitor workflows — especially good for productivity, casual media, and general use with macOS. If color-accuracy isn’t a priority and you’re okay with basic stand adjustments, it’s well worth the purchase.

    The picture quallity is great and the curve is really nice. The only thing I don't like is the toggle switch to power it down. I cant get it to turn off completely so the standby light flashes when the computer is off. Also wish that it had a display port connection.

    Absolutely the Best Purchase I’ve Ever Made

    This curved monitor completely blew me away. The picture quality is crystal-clear, colors are vibrant, and the curve makes everything feel more immersive—whether I’m working, watching movies, or gaming. It’s honestly the best thing I’ve ever bought from Best Buy. The setup was quick and easy, and the design looks sleek and modern on my desk. The curve reduces glare and keeps everything comfortably in view without straining my eyes. I didn’t realize how much it would improve my daily computer use until I started using it—now I can’t imagine going back to a flat screen. If you’re even thinking about getting one, do it. This monitor is a total game-changer!

    Easy to setup, literally done in 30, minus unboxing. Performance is outstanding. Would likely purchase another. Screen quality could be better but it’s still really crisp and fast

    We bought two of the Samsung 27″ Essential S3 (S36GD) curved monitors and couldn’t be happier. They offer surprisingly good image quality and performance for the price—crisp 100 Hz visuals, smooth motion, and the immersive 1800R curve really enhances the viewing experience. Great value overall.

    My wife upgraded her home office with this monitor and the difference is night and day. The wrap-around effect really helps with focus and reduces peripheral distractions. Setup was a breeze, and the ultra-slim design keeps her workspace looking modern. It’s the best investment we've made for my productivity this year. She can't stop raving about it.

    Screen is ok, Best Buy is not

    The screen is fine. I needed some help from a tech (not Best Buy) to set it up and I am generally satisfied. What I am not happy about is Best Buy service in general. I have Geek Squad. I brought in a malfunctioning printer I bought from Best Buy. "We don't fix printers," they said. More recently I brought in a cellphone whose mail was not working. A Best Buy salesperson worked on it for about 30 minutes and the gave up saying, "i've done everything I can. Look for help elsewhere." I need a new dryer. Will I buy it from Best Buy? What do you think?
