This gaming monitor is excellent. The 4k gaming looks beautiful from my Xbox Series X. The response time also is very quick! You also get fantastic viewing angles because the monitor is IPS. Very high quality monitor. I’m extremely impressed

Future ready with USB-C input. Great to be able to power Apple products while viewing PC based apps. Resolution is great. Worked right out of the box. Excellent value for the price.

Be warned, this monitor out of the box does not look the best. Do some tweaking to the color settings, bump up the brightness, and turn off the eco mode. Once those adjustments are made the monitor looks better than the dell S2722QC. Colors are vibrant and it has a crisp picture. In addition, the power pass through is fantastic for macbook pros. I was very skeptical of this monitor but I am happy I tried it out.

Audio input spotty

I got it for two days so far, connects to everything pretty well; tested it with my PC and my laptop
I do notice the humming in the background, now that I have read other people's reviews, but I don't think it is too noticeable in my opinion.
My main complaint I have to say, would be the audio input; my PC does not have a place to put audio as of right now, so I was testing my earbuds and my speaker to the audio input, and it is noticeably spotty. I'm not sure if people just don't use the audio input a lot or if this is my case specifically, but it is something to note, and as a person who likes to watch a lot of media, I can't say I particularly enjoy it.

Hight pitch noise, loosing USB attached devices.

Picked up the open box unit. The monitor started to emit high pitch noise so uncomfortable, that it cause a headache. Was trying all possible combinations of cables and most of the possible configurations in OSD. Monitor noise is present even in standby all that changes with different cables/modes is the tone of noise, higher or lower. Constantly loosing USB attached mouse with type C connection.
I decided to return it but was too late because of 14 days return window for open box items.
According to the Samsung support website, this unit was registered first time in 07/2021 so that is what could be expected of the monitor after 3 months of use.
No word about noise in the open box description.
Overall, pretty dim panel, however good colors and image quality.

I use this monitor with a MacBook Pro. The USB-C capabilities sufficiently power my computer. I've also got a USB webcam plugged into the back of the monitor, which also works great. So, just one power cable to the monitor, a USB webcam plugged into the monitor, and one USB-C cable from the monitor to the MacBook.

I was a bit skeptical (based on the reviews that I read) but honestly I am pleasantly surprised. Out of the box the monitor is not the brightest but that is because of the adaptive picture setting. Just turn that off and you should be good to go. Although the monitor spec wise has 250 nits brightness - it does get pretty bright (at least enough for me).

Works great with Macbook pro plugged in via usb-c. No issues so far but will update this as I encounter them.
No high-pitched sounds coming from my monitor like many of these other reviewers. Brightness is great once you turn off the eco mode. Matches my laptop well. Steal!

Not 4k and 60 Hz

I wanted to upgrade my monitor and I saw this. I was very excited but the first thing that I noticed when I opened the box was that the stand does allow the monitor to be lowered much. I got an adjustable monitor becuause I like being able to raise and lower my monitor but this is to high up at its lowest level. Continuing, I plugged it into my pc and it does not run at 60 Hz. I spent over an hour and a half and contected geek squad trying to figure out what was wrong. From checking to see if my computer was compatible (which it is) to downloading every possible update for my drivers. This thing does not output 4k at 60 Hz even with the help of geek squad and countless forums. It is a pain to deal with, I was so excited but ended extremely disappointed.

Once some of the default settings are changed, the monitor looks excellent. No complaints even after reading some of the reviews here. However, wait for this to go on sale - $400 is a bit steep.

Nice Screen But Did Not Work Out For Me

I was really excited when I purchase this monitor. It was a low cost 4K monitor with USB C connector. It also has a usb hub option. The screen looked good for the price. The draw backs for me is connecting two computers. I connect a Dell PC via HDMI and a MacBook Pro M1 via USB C. The USB C only worked when I jiggled the connector. When I switched back and forth from each computer, they stayed connect. The usb c hub with a connected hard drive only worked when I turn off the screen and used it as a hub only.

It has a really pretty picture. The monitor itself is very nice to look at. I wish the controls were better; the dial to change the settings should be on the back. It would make it easier to see when trying to make changes.
I would recommend it and would buy it again.
