Customers are saying
Customers admire the 28” ViewFinity UHD IPS AMD FreeSync with HDR Monitor's picture quality, color vibrancy, and value for its price, frequently praising the HDR capabilities and ease of use. However, some users express concerns regarding the refresh rate and the monitor stand's sturdiness. Additionally, the lack of built-in speakers and the placement of the VESA mount have drawn criticism, as has the input switching mechanism.

Not great.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not enough settings, using as a second monitor to my iMac and can’t get it calibrated to match my iMac monitor exactly. This is not good for photography processing. Overall, the size for the price was the best value—especially open-box.

Solid 4K Monitor for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid display with great response time for a business-grade monitor. Stand is slightly wobble when used with my standing desk so swapping in a VESA mount arm was required.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great monitor! I pair it with my small Macbook pro and it's incredible. I love the size and so far it's proved to be worth it's money.
I would recommend this to a friendWish it worked as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The magicbright function didn't work at all. Samsung support tried to tell me that it wasn't offered on this model even though their product page said it was. The brightness just wasn't enough without it. I ended up returning it for a different brand.

Best value 4k monitor
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an awesome monitor, especially considering it’s price. Great resolution, bold contrast, and HDR that still holds up to this day.

Garbage
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned these. Didnt even plug them in. The stands are garbage. No adjustments what so ever. Dont know what they were thinking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Nice monitor but with cheap joystick control
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a good monitor but the joystick control failed after an year when it was out of warranty. There's only one joystick control for every monitor control. I am able to change brightness and other display settings but changing input doesn't work. When searched online, that is the most common issue with these monitors. Hope Samsung fixes that, but for now, I can't use monitors unless I plug out inputs to switch between them.

bad experience on product quality, BBY experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 20 days of use, wake up and found out monitor stuck in power saving mode, spent a few hours with Samsung support and could not fix the issue, have to ship back to them. Also found out BBY changed their return policy, now it's 15 days. The reason I bought from local store is to support them. Now I guess I will just buy online. Overall bad experience from product quality to store return experience

Upgrade to the 32 in version. Trust me.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor sucks in my opinion. It has some major back glow problems. I upgraded to the 32 in Samsung version. I spent an extra 100 dollar plus - but it was well worth it. It had no glow and darks were beautiful.

Great Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent monitor. I thought this was a USB-C monitor when i search but it wasn't. The monitor is great honestly.
I would recommend this to a friendGood quality monitor
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great picture quality at great price. Good for photo and video editing. Recommended to my friend and he bought two
I would recommend this to a friend4K
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just like watching a 4k TV. Sound’s quality is great but definitely needs some external speakers. Love it so far.
I would recommend this to a friendBad quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got two bad pixels (constant in red) after a few days of usage. Then returned and got a new one. However, this one has one bad pixel after 2 months of usage! Not sure if it will get more bad pixels over time. One time of the problem, I'm bad luck; two times of this problem, definitely a bad quality! Such a shame to Sansung to produce this low-quality monitors. Avoid this one!

Nice monitor when it works
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.worked fine for a while now goes into sleep mode and will not wake up unless I power cycle or disconnect then reconnect the cable
No, I would not recommend this to a friendTerrible Picture All Around
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Color accuracy is terrible, even after calibration and driver download it is incredibly dark whether you are using HDR or not. If you plan on using HDR, then plan on losing all of the monitor features short of brightness, contrast and sharpness. Even with brightness and contrast maxed out it still looks darker and less clear than my laptop screen. Extremely disappointed with this purchase and strongly do not recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOne BIG fault
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Image is good BUT If you wall mount, the mounting on back is just for 75. Most wall mounts have 75-100 so ithe bracket wont fit on back. Super weak. You can still put it on but it will be at a slight angle.
