Customer Ratings & Reviews

I just love the quality of Samsung products. Most importantly their warranty. I had one of my 24” go bad after 3.5 years of long term usage and was paid current retail value of the monitor. I used the funds to purchase the 28”. I went from 24” curved to 28” 4K IPS for home/work use. Great picture quailty. Movies run flawless (though I have a gaming video card) with the 60hz refresh rate. 4K movies are stunning. Only gripe is that the blacks are too black, dark scenes are very near total black and looks like I only hear sound. Perhaps I need to play with the video settings. However, I’m not watching movies regularly on a 28” monitor so I really don’t care.

No on board speakers and limited IO but otherwise a great monitor for the price. I use it for PS4 games in HDR and it's quite good. Not a huge fan of the single button menu controls or the limited input selection but it's got a great picture and finish, well worth it.

Good for the price, but I didn't like the big stand footprint. The panel itself is very good and produces a great picture. But outside of that, this monitor lacks features. It is already an quite old model also

Really great monitor! The colors are very vivid and the screen size is perfect for what I need. It’s taken my photo editing to the next level.

A great monitor at a fantastic price. Bright and beautiful. I moved from an iMac with 5K and I don’t notmuch difference in image quality.

I like this monitor overall and I did buy two of them. It a great value for the money. I got the color dialed in, but out took awhile to get it to where I wanted it. I wish there were a way to raise it up and down. I also wish there were a couple of USB ports.

Great monitor for video editing and photoshop. The 4k looks amazing and would definitely recommend to anyone.

For the price, you're getting a great deal on a 4k monitor with bright, vibrant colors, solid HDR support, a relatively easy to navigate menu system (I'm not a huge fan of single button navigation, but it does the job), and more than enough ports. I use mine for work and gaming, and am more than satisfied with both. I should note that this is a 60hz monitor, so if you are an RPG/Adventure gamer (you don't need high refresh for those), then you'll be happy with this monitor.

Bough this for my son for his gaming setup. Great picture quality and easy to set up.

So this was another one of my "Open Box Excellent" exploits. The first unit was delivered, and I installed it on my desk to replace my aging 24" Lenovo QHD monitor. Unfortunately, the plastic on the back of the monitor was unsnapped on one side - no big deal, it snapped right back in. However, even though the unit connected to my computer right away, the joystick/power button was completely inoperative. Back to my local BB. They did not have another open box unit, fortunately while in the store I was able to order another identical unit online. It was $10 more for whatever reason, so be it. This one arrived a few days later and is excellent. Pros: - (2) HDMI inputs to allow switching from my work computer to work laptop without an A/B switch - Well-designed cord management system integrated into the base really cleans up the looks - Outstanding picture quality and has an EyeSaver more if you want to work in dim light Cons: - The "joystick/power button" combo is a bit wonky. I am sure I will get used to it, I only have had the monitor a few days as I type this. I know, showing my age a bit here! - Compared to the metal base on my retired Lenovo monitor, the plastic base seems a bit flimsy, but I suppose it's adequate - Thickness of the unit at the top means my webcam does not sit as securely as before - may need to enhance with a piece of Velcro If you can get this in the mid $100's as I did, it's a no-brainer!

The panel its self is very good, Color accuracy is pretty good, lighting is very good. Over all a very good 4k panel for the price. The stand however has no height adjust, and is near fully static. I strongly recommend getting a monitor arm with this monitor.

Very nice monitor. 4K display works great. The only cons are that this has only a 60Hz refresh rate and the height of the monitor cannot be changed. So far, works great!

The ppi is so high and is great for my small space sual moniter setup. Colors look very pretty compared to VA panel. The price is the strongest point.

Amazing monitor with awesome picture quality. The only thing that bothers me is, it has no built in speakers but thats fine. Just have to pick up some speakers.

Beautiful picture, 4K looks incredible on the new Xbox one, although this monitor has a slower response time, for the price it’s honestly the best budget 4K monitor.

brilliant color, but ended up returning and exchanging for 32" model when Best Buy had a sale making the 32" cheaper than 28". If you are going to run native 4K resolution at 100% zoom, go for the bigger display.

Good monitor for it's price. Image is crispy and sharp.

I have to say that I LOVE this monitor!!! I bought it because my old 24" 1080p monitor was having problems with waking up from the PC sleeping (I'd have to turn it Off and back ON after 10 seconds) and I thought it was about to die, so I saved what's left of it for PC and Laptop repair work. However, if you don't know, 4K UHD is NOT the same as 4K or a 4K Blu-Ray Player with a 4K Blu-Ray movie disc. 4K UHD is a lesser version of the two UHD versions, but it's not the same as a 4K Blu-Ray disc, which is actually 4K. I researched it before buying... From www.extremetech.com/extreme/174221-no-tv-makers-4k-and-uhd-are-not-the-same-thing Posted on December 14, 2020 at 11:49 am "4K vs. UHD” “The simplest way of defining the difference between 4K and UHD is this: 4K is a professional production and cinema standard, while UHD is a consumer display and broadcast standard. To discover how they became so confused, let’s look at the history of the two terms.” “The term "4K" originally derives from the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), a consortium of motion picture studios that standardized a spec for the production and digital projection of 4K content. In this case, 4K is 4,096 by 2,160 and is exactly four times the previous standard for digital editing and projection (2K, or 2,048 by 1,080). 4K refers to the fact that the horizontal pixel count (4,096) is roughly four thousand. The 4K standard is not just a resolution, either: It also defines how 4K content is encoded. A DCI 4K stream is compressed using JPEG2000, can have a bitrate of up to 250Mbps, and employs 12-bit 4:4:4 color depth.” “Ultra High Definition, or UHD for short, is the next step up from what’s called full HD, the official name for the display resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 [or 1080p]. UHD quadruples that resolution to 3,840 by 2,160. It’s not the same as the 4K resolution made above — and yet almost every TV or monitor you see advertised as 4K is actually UHD. Sure, there are some panels out there that are 4,096 by 2,160, which adds up to an aspect ratio of 1.9:1. But the vast majority are 3,840 by 2,160, for a 1.78:1 aspect ratio.” “Why Not 2160p?” “Now, it’s not as if TV manufacturers aren’t aware of the differences between 4K and UHD. But presumably for marketing reasons, they seem to be sticking with 4K. So as to not conflict with the DCI’s actual 4K standard, some TV makers seem to be using the phrase "4K UHD," though some are just using "4K."” “To make matters more confusing, UHD is actually split in two — there’s 3,840 by 2,160 [this monitor], and then there’s a big step up, to 7,680 by 4,320, which is also called UHD. It’s reasonable to refer to these two UHD variants as 4K UHD and 8K UHD — but, to be more precise, the 8K UHD spec should probably be renamed QUHD (Quad Ultra HD).” [edited to read] “"One store" lists three displays as supporting 4K (4096×2160) explicitly as opposed to UHD, but they’ll cost you. Clearly, these sorts of displays are aimed at the professional set.” There's more, but you can read all of it for yourself, if you want to. So true 4K is 4096x2160 while this lower version of UHD (4K UHD in this monitor) is 3840x2160, and this "4K UHD" monitor has 256 fewer horizontal lines than true 4K. This monitor is fine for my purposes, my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti supports this 4K UHD (and 4K), and Windows 10 set the resolution to the monitor's full 3840x2160, so I'm ready for UHD when/if I come across it. I "assume" that, if I had a Blu-Ray Drive in my PC, a 4K Blu-Ray disc would display as centered with 128 pixel wide black gaps at the top and bottom. I also cannot watch a YouTube video shot at true 4K correctly. However, I also love how the Taskbar has room for more shortcuts and their jump lists than 1080p. And I got it for a great deal in an open box, but then had to buy a $58 12 foot 4K HDMI cable for it, because my PC is further than 6 feet right now. Even still, I highly recommend this monitor!!! You can't beat the Samsung brand and name for quality and long life!!! And 3840x2160 "4K UHD" is the best you'll get in a monitor at a reasonable price.

Nice Monitor with good crisp display and excellent color. Definite upgrade from previous monitor. Excellent value at around $200.

Great picture and love the size of the screen. Only qualm is the mhz max it will allow me to run it at isn't what it states, won't let me go above 30.
