Theres just something about a nice big curved monitor that always just makes you feel more immersed in your screen. This being a 27” monitor, it is perfect for a home office and even for gaming. It fits perfectly on your desk without taking up too much real estate because it is so thin and the base is nice and flat. Out of the box all you really have to do is attach the base to the monitor. It literally takes just a few seconds to do and you will be up and running. On the back there is 2 HDMI and a digital input as well as a headphone jack and what they call a service port. I’m assuming that’s for doing software updates and things if you need to. The computer also has a pretty nice set of built in speakers. This will save you even more real estate on your desk by not having a separate set of speakers as well! Sure, they aren’t the most amazing speakers with a subwoofer or anything. But for day-to-day tasks and watching streaming videos and music you will be just fine. They actually sound pretty good! As far as performance, this monitor is kind of touted as a gaming monitor on a budget kind of thing. Which it absolutely is. It is a 75hz monitor, so nothing spectacular, but definitely good enough for gaming. It does only go up to 1920x1080, so you won’t get a 4K experience, but at the same time you wont be spending a thousand dollars on a monitor, so I think it’s a fair trade off. Serious gamers might want to look elsewhere though. I think the niche for this monitor is for someone who wants to use it as a everyday monitor in a home office type situation, or maybe a college student. It is perfect for surfing around on the web, watching streaming videos and music, doing office tasks like email and things, and then doing occasional gaming. For its price, you cant go wrong, I would definitely check it out if you are looking for a budget monitor that can do everything!

Throughout the first month we had this monitor, it worked fairly well. Speakers were okay, display was pretty decent. Low refresh rate, but not a huge concern. After a month of having this monitor, and with no physical stress, the display cracked down the middle out of the blue. It was not in use when the display cracked. It is no longer usable, and purchasing a new monitor would be more cost efficient than fixing it. Internal components seem to be questionable. Would not recommend.

Great Product: Design is very good, so are clarity and colors. Highly recommend it!!!

Love it! First time buying a curved one and I really like it a lot.

I’m a fan of Samsung displays. I have no qualms with the image quality of this monitor, but it doesn’t feel worth the cost. Even with the speakers, which can only be described as “basic” don’t make up for the lack of mounting options and height/angle adjustments. And while I don’t dislike curved screens, it seems unnecessary for screens smaller than 34 inch. In essence, I feel like the curve brings with it a premium price that’s not really worth it. IN THE BOX AND SETUP The contents of the box is like any other monitor. There’s the stand, the display, power cable, and HDMI and display port cable. There’s also the back cover of the monitor that hides the ports. Attaching the stand to the monitor was simple, but it requires a screwdriver. I really wish it came with a thumb screw, but this is a minor annoyance as you’re not likely to unscrew the base. There’s 2 HDMI 1.2 ports and 1 display port and a 3.5 mm audio port. The screen is obviously curved which supposedly reduces eye strain at the outer edges of the screen. DISPLAY It’s full HD which is perfectly acceptable and maybe even preferred by some. But when my work monitor at my office is QHD, the downgrade in resolution is definitely noticeable. However, the FHD resolution is perfectly fine. Its default refresh rate is 60 HZ, but you can change the settings in Windows to get it up to 75 HZ. Again, going off past experiences, 75 HZ refresh rate isn’t something that you’re likely to notice. To me, you really need to get to 144 HZ to really tell a difference in the refresh rate (a higher refresh rate basically means smoother animations). It has FreeSync, which is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. By default it was off, and you have to turn it on via the monitor’s menu (it was simple). My computer has a dedicated NVIDIA GPU. In playing Far Cry I didn’t notice any screen tearing with it on. I didn’t test it with it off, but I was satisfied with the performance, nonetheless. My other go to game is Lego Builder, which is less graphically demanding, and again, experienced smooth gameplay. I had some issues playing Cyberpunk, but I’m still struggling with getting my settings just right with my graphics card, so I don’t blame that on the monitor. It’s plenty bright, and has basic screen adjustment options. There’s a game mode, but it’s tough to say what it does. You just toggle it on and off. It has an eye saver mode, and while I like the idea of having a picture mode that helps with eye strain, it turns the screen amber, which I don’t like. I guess I’d rather suffer eye strain than look at an amber screen. But the point is, the option’s there. DESIGN AND OTHER FEATURES It comes with two 5 watt speakers built in. They are fine. If you’re serious about gaming or watching videos, you won’t want to rely on them. But if you’re using this for work and just need ANY speakers, they are plenty adequate. I found them adequate enough for a Zoom call, and playing background music. And while they certainly work playing games, I definitely plugged in my 2.1 Logitech speakers instead for more bass. The speakers are a nice addition to simplify your setup, but depending on your needs, you might want more power. I also have a 42 inch curved Samsung monitor. It’s awesome. It’s so wide, the curvature of the screen feels necessary. I just don’t feel the same way with a smaller 27 inch display. Sure, it’s fine and I do like it, but I feel like you’re paying a premium for this curved monitor without it being entirely necessary - like a 42 inch monitor. That being said, I like the design of the monitor. It looks nice and professional, the base is pretty small and the bezels are minimalist (although I’ve seen smaller bezels). The back of the monitor, which frankly, you’ll probably never find yourself staring at, looks like cheap plastic because it is. The design of the monitor and how it looks is fine, but for one big caveat: There’s no option to mount the monitor. You’d have to buy something else if you wanted to mount it to the wall or an arm attached to your desk (which I like to do to give me more space on my desk). On top of that, you can’t adjust the height. I like the middle of my monitor to be at eye height. It sits way too low for me, and there’s no adjustment. I can’t even tilt it back to face me. The only option is to prop it on something. CONCLUSION There’s certainly nothing wrong with this monitor. True to Samsung, the picture quality is terrific. I have no qualms with that. I like the inclusion of speakers which are nice depending on your needs and eliminates having speakers on your desk if you can live with the quality of the built in speakers. The curved screen is also nice, but I have my doubts on how much benefit to preventing eye strain it provides at 27 inches. But the inability to adjust the height or tilt is a big deal to me; not to mention the inability to mount it out of the box. At the end of the day it feels like a budget monitor at a more premium price. I can’t speak to the value/cost of all monitors but it just feels like for what it is, you can get a similarly featured monitor at a better price. The 75 HZ refresh rate doesn’t do much for me as the benefits over 60 HZ are negligible.
