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.

About perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good Monitor. Gets 4 K resolution with HDR with You Tube. Can probably do the same with Netflix if I had the right video card. But, it does do 4 K with Netflix when I added a 4 K Roku Express to the HDMI 2 port. My monitor has an issue with the toggle switch. It easily moves to all directions except to the right. It works to the right, but I need to push really hard. Not much of a problem since I pretty much never need it to go to the right. Maybe it needs me to trim some plastic away from the opening. But, since it's not really needed, I'll leave it as is. It's not worth bothering over the issue as it is otherwise perfect.

Excellent choice
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent monitor used for work & browsing. 60 hz refresh not best for gaming. Excellent colors for IPS panel & input. Good for both mac & PC. IPS panel & 4k capability makes this more expensive than other cheaper models, but imo is worth the extra $$

Great picture
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this monitor. The resolution and colors are very good. Very nice monitor, the only thing that would make it better would be an altitude adjustment. The tilt doesn’t give enough Ty range of motion.

It's 4k and it has A LOT of quality settings
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just plugged it for the first time and getting familiar with it. Bought it to use for media creation. Still haven't calibrated it with the spider. It has tons of color settings and quality settings. Colors are very abundant, not lacking any at all. If you have ever owned anything Samsung with a color display, then you'll be already familiar with the color quality here. I do notice the highest brightness setting may not be bright enough for some people. The brightness is perfect enough for media creation since calibrated monitors are not super bright. Gamers may not find this monitor bright enough, but I'm not a gamer. Definitely recommended for media creation. Gamers may want something brighter. The best here is that it has a lot of color and picture quality settings making it the most flexible monitor I've seen.

Excellent quality for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As with most of Samsungs products, a very good quality monitor at a reasonable price. Keep in mind 4K monitors always work better with decent graphics cards but it will work as a 2nd monitor for any laptop with an HDMI out, you might have to run it at lower resolution.

Super Sharp, Crisp 4K Monitor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bright, vivid screen. Text looks so crisp on a 4k monitor. Multiple settings to play with for picture quality and brightness settings. Super sharp and defined picture with great color. If you are in the market for a 4K monitor, grab this one while it's on the black Friday sale. For around $250 including tax, you have a beautiful and crisp screen to enjoy computer media. The size is perfect too and the nearly borderless design makes it really great for watching videos. It's also crisp/sharp to a fault where it's a bit of an adjustment for me to the softer more fuzzy images that I am used to seeing on a screen. That lower resolution almost seems easier on the eyes. But I can't knock it for that!

Great for work and play
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor is very large and the quality very high. As someone mostly using it for work and video viewing it does a fantastic job of displaying the picture clearly and allowing my to spreadsheet successfully. My only critique would be that it doesn’t have built in speakers.

Great UHD monitor for our laptop.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We use this monitor as a mobile set up for our laptop. The only thing I wish it had were internal speakers, but aside from that it is a solid monitor capable of vibrant colors and deep blacks. There are better options, but for someone who edits commercial photography and video on the go. This is a great option.

Excellent monitor for WFH
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My company reimbursed me for this purchase, and I picked this monitor only because it has the earliest delivery date. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the 4K IPS display is when I paired it with my Macbook Pro at work - the brightness, color quality and contrast are excellent.

The monitor I've been waiting for!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As the owner of a 4K UHD TV for the past three years, I've been spoiled by how amazing Full HD Blu-rays look on it; the visuals/colors just really pops when watching. It got to a point where I was no longer satisfied with a Full HD monitor for the PC. I don't have the shelf space for anything bigger than 28" so a TV wasn't going to work. The initial 4K monitors that were coming out started pricing close to the four figure range so that wasn't going to work, either. Eventually I stumbled onto this monitor: majority positive reviews, priced fairly decent, perfect screen size. Setup was relatively easy: installing monitor to base, connecting terminals to outputs, adjusting settings took about 30 min. Colors are rather accurate out the box but, for those of you who're insistent to tinkering, the color setting is disabled when set to Cinema mode; you can use the Custom setting instead if you want to play around with color & gamma. Catching up on the last few seasons of Hawaii Five-O & also watching Picard on CBS all-access and the colors are vibrant: lush greens, eye-popping reds, etc. Same goes for watching Batman (the 60's tv series) on remastered 1080p Blu-Ray via PS3 connected to an HDMI receiver. And blacks are just that, black, not a dark gray; they're often times rich & deep (almost OLED black). Don't let the screen size fool you- there's plenty of amazing detail on display here: I can make out all sorts of freckles, pores, liver spots, wrinkles, etc. Particularly watching Batman the 60's series, I can see the delineation of blacks in the suits that are being worn (lapels, designs, fabric, etc.); I can even make out the seams in the Dynamic Duo's tights where they begin & end (wasn't seeking it out; just hard not to miss, lol). Can't speak on the HDR aspect nor FreeSync since the graphics card in my PC doesn't support it (not really an issue for me since I use my big-screen TV for those matters). Toggled around with the PIP function (don't have a need for it, personally); the different screen sizes seem more than adequate. My only real quibble is the lack of individual memory presets for EACH terminal: having to constantly adjust picture settings when switching between the 2 HDMI inputs can be a bit annoying. Oh well; I'd still highly recommend this monitor to any/everyone who's interested.

Great!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this monitor to pair with my Mac mini. It’s gorgeous, and very easy to use. Some users complained about the tilt options, but I did not find out to be a problem at all. I like the multiple inputs, although I used primarily as a computer monitor.

Superb 4K Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I finally decided to make the jump to a 4K monitor. Been wanting to do so for awhile, but just never got around to it for various reasons (mainly the cost). Since I've been using my computer more during the pandemic, I thought now was a good time to upgrade. So when I found a good deal for this on the Best Buy website, I made my purchase. I don't regret it at all. The colors, clarity, and overall performance is leaps and bounds better than my old 2K monitor. I've been missing out for far too long. No complaints whatsoever about this monitor so far. I would definitely recommend this monitor to anyone looking for/thinking about buying a nice 4K monitor for their PCs.

Perfect 4k Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Review date 2/5/2021: Bought 2 of these in April 2020 that I use daily working from home. Bought another one in November 2020 with the great black friday deals. Wife is using that one. These are perfect for working from home and recommend to everyone. No need to go any fancier. Make sure though that your computer can support these. My main work computer is an i7 Lenovo that is 5 years old. The mini Display port can do 60hz, but the HDMI port can only do 30hz. So while using that computer one monitor is 60hz and the other 30hz. Not a huge deal and barely noticeable in most cases. My other has thunderbolt c, so just got a splitter to dual display port. Make sure you buy a spiltter that can do 4k at 60hz to BOTH ports and then cables that support 60hz. You can find cheap ones on Amazon, but its also flooded with 4k at 30hz crap. 30hz vs 60hz is just refresh...you get 4k with both.

Great monitor, big stand
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Monitor, the picture quality is great for work, not so much for gaming but good. My only gripe is the stand, it takes up a lot of desk space. I replaced the stand with a monitor arm and it fits perfectly on my desk

Highly recommended
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A step up from my 8 years old 1080p Samsung monitor. This one is also 5 inches larger than my old monitor and fits just right on my desk. For the money, you likely won't find a better 4K HDR computer monitor.

Great Value
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stand is lame (not adjustable in any way), but I mounted it to a better stand I had. Great quality and got it for a great price. My wife's first monitor for her laptop and she LOVES it.

Great HDR display! Price still awesome after 3 yrs
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this monitor, it's great for the price. I initially purchased it for a ps5 when they released but it has been used for so much more. The 60hz refresh is great for casual gaming, screen is wonderful in hdr mode. The only reason I had to remove 1 star is because of the mount it comes with, I had to purchase a different base to be able to comfortably move and resposition. Also, when the source is turned off (let's say pc goes into sleep mode) you can't just wake up by moving the mouse or keyboard especially if this is a multi-display set up. You need to hold the power button for 3-4 seconds, then turn back on to force the monitor back on.
