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.

Slight darkening at edges with monitor about 18 inches from viewer. Viewing angle issue due to monitor size. Still a good view of work in progress. Would recommend for most uses.

A great monitor for the price.

I wish that the bottom bezel was thinner, but this is a great monitor otherwise. The FreeSync works well and the detail is great. Also, if you're using a Mac, get Retina Display Manager to scale the UI properly. It works great for my 2010 Mac Pro.

Great monitor for the price (4K)

Really good looking monitor for the price. The image looks great, just did a 4K test on it and it looked out of this world. I mainly got it for my new Xbox Series X and the new Cyberpunk game.

Just purchased and really like the monitor but the stand is ridiculous! It is not adjustable in any way. No up or down and no tilt side to side or up or down. Very Very disappointing and not what I would expect from Samsung! I was able to find a stand on amazon because best buy didn't seem to have one which is the only reason we are keeping the monitor. Hopefully it will work out. If we didn't like the monitor so much we wouldn't consider keeping it.

Samsung laptop computer monitor problems.
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The monitor worked from the very beginning.
However, occasionally I have had to jump through hoops to get the monitor to recognize that both electrical cords are, in fact, properly connected, even though it is showing they are not.
Other times only the HTML 1 box will display along with the adjustment screen. More hoops to jump through. The adjustment knob on the center bottom of the screen is a joke! The aforementioned knob is worthless in trying to navigate/overcome these challenges, and frequently other features are inadvertently turned on or off while trying to use the button to navigate/correct the initial problem.
Plus, the screen goes into sleep mode frequently, requiring the aforementioned monitor knob to be pushed in until the blue light turns off.
I had other more serious problems with an ACER monitor and grew tired of dealing with them. Even though the Acer Monito was still under warranty, I gave up in frustration and purchased what I thought to be a better-quality monitor. I was obviously mistaken.

Do not buy. I have now bought 2 of these monitors and returned both. The first one only had 1 working HDMI port (display port did not work either). The second, ONLY the display port worked, both HDMIs were out.
And yes, I did verify that it wasn't my cables, or the ports on the other end.

Good price for this spec.. color is OFF

Good price and easy to setup
There is a yellow color instead of white. The other monitor is my Dell 27inch FHD IPS LED (not even 4k) and the color white is actual white... I will be returning this. Tried all sorts of settings and could not make the yellow go away. Searched online and everyone who has this problem could not find a solution

Samsung's customer support line is a failed joke
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Monitor came already set up in German. Called customer support line to change the language to English. Phone's voice recognition failed to recognize voices of different people. Literally had to press the needed option continuously 10 + times to get to a department only to be transferred to wrong depts 3x times. Finally got a car insurance dept!!!! This customer service is a total failure.

Blue Specks, Flickering, Static

When coming out of sleep mode, It flickers with blue specks, blacks out, and struggles to display anything. That was on HDMI. Display Port does not work occasionally. The single button control is terribly awkward.
