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.

Does NOT Support 120 fps, but a very nice monitor still for the price and it is nice 4K and UHD using my Xbox series s. Most people will have no issue with this display, it is excellent.

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.

The monitor was very easy to install and it works well with both my MacBook Pro and my Lenovo. The images are uniformly sharp and the colors are clear and bright. It is one of the best monitors I have used.

I own a LOT of Samsung consumer electronics including a Refrigerator, Dishwasher, numerous cell phones and no less than 4 Samsung 4K monitors including this Viewfinity 28" 4K. I purchased this monitor to use for my work computer that previously had a 19" HD monitor on a monitor arm. Well the hope was to get some more screen resolution and mount this Samsung on the VESA monitor arm. Unfortunately Samsung was asleep at the wheel on this particular monitor, especially (as others have stated) the VESA mount. It requires special screws (M4 L14mm?) with spacers (or skill with a grinder!) since all commercial VESA mounts accommodate both 75 and 100mm mounting holes. The 100mm mounting holes interfere with the casing on the monitor, which is extremely annoying. Even if you solve that conundrum with longer M4 screws and spacers or the aforementioned grinder, the VESA mounting holes are offset from the center of the bank of the monitor itself which makes the monitor hang lower than most others. This is also pretty annoying when the whole purpose of a monitor arm is to get the monitor up off your desk and at a higher level. Samsung really dropped the ball on this one. This is not an insignificant design flaw and the biggest reason for the 3 out of 5 rating.

Love this monitor. Colors are fantastic. Easily fits several windows at the same time. 4k videos are crisp. Most of my monitor/tv's are Samsung for a reason.

Pocked up one of these 28 inch monitors on sale. Great display for the money! My tip is make sure you use a cable that can handle 4k bandwidth. I found out the fun way. If you have a display port to display port cable, you're good. I had a dp to hdmi converter that limited the bandwith to 1080p. It does come with a hdmi 2.1 cable that works great as long as you dont use an adapter.

Got a good price on this 4K monitor and using it in my video editing setup. Nice images and no complaints. Wish it were 120Hz.

As I had to use my two monitors for the new laptop for work at home, I needed new monitor for home computer. I've been a fan of LG IPS monitors for 10+ years, but I could not find a LG with 27+ inch 4K IPS monitor within the budget at that time. This Samsung was an alternative. However, I love it so far. It is large enough for split screen. It provides high quality view for watching Netflix.

Great UHD resolution with Mac or Windows from a valued manufacturer. Great quality from start and easy setup.

I love this screen. It's huge and very high resolution. I set to small font and use it as 3 or 4 screens. I bought it more than one year ago, I still become excited every time I use it.

Great Monitor for great price. Would like even better if it had adjustable height stand but great picture.

Great monitor for work. Not recommended for gaming but I use 2 of these in my setup and they are great for typical office work and somewhat good for creative work like photo editing.

Samsung make awesome monitors and TV’s Picture quality is stunning Can be wall-mounted Easy to add speakers via Bluetooth Works with Mac and PC Note: Doesn’t have built in speakers but easy to add.

I like the high-quality picture that this monitor has. It was easy to set up.

Bought this on sale to use as a second monitor for my MacBook. 4K is crisp and pretty and for the sale price, I felt it was a great buy. The *only* things I dislike about the monitor is the circle back and the large stand. I don't understand why they chose this design. Because the large stand took up so much room on my desk, I wanted to mount it. However, due to the circle back, it's a 75x75 vesa only and mounting it is difficult- not impossible, but difficult. I bought a 75x75/100x100 desk mount and it's not a perfect fit but it did work. For these two reasons, I took a star off- otherwise, it would've easily been 5 stars. Nonetheless, the picture is beautiful and I'm pleased with my purchase overall.

I LOVE THID DISPLAY!! Easy connection with a modern machine. All items for use are included. This is a large, clear display dripping in accurate color. So pleased with this 28 inch monitor. I solidly recommend this monitor to photo editing, and to any other use. Text is SHARP and near surprising to what I had been using. Only con, and this is with all mentors, the tiny adjustment toggles make it a bit hard to adjust (if needed, it's very good out of the box). I recommend this

Very clear sharp picture. Easy to setup and use. Very pleased with purchase.

I wanted a higher resolution monitor for my MacMini M1 but didn't want to spend the crazy $$ for an Apple display. Researched quite a few 4k monitors for a couple weeks and landed on this one. Hemmed and hawwed a bit until the discount popped up and then bit the lure. Anyway, I was a bit concerned about how well the Mac would scale the text and such, but this turned out to be baseless. The scaling is near perfect and I can't see any issues with font blurring, etc. Having this much real-estate for a computer monitor is AMAZING. I can have so many different apps and windows open now.
