Very happy with my purchase, for the price of the monitor it has great picture quality and brightness, and the bigger screen size does wonders in photography.

As a designer who needed a 4k monitor, it works great. Connected my 2017 macbook pro seamlessly. You can either get a converter for hdmi or get a direct hdmi to usb c.. i did the second until i knew there was a converter for hdmi that has more usb c ports! (All my ports are used now) but anyways love it, have had it for a couple months now. I have to use a bluetooth speaker for sound but idc. Also keep in mind i have not used a monitor prior but im satisfied. Love the bigger screen to see my designs.

I love it. Super bright and crystal clear. I use it as a gaming monitor as well as a larger display for my MacBook Pro. I also love it because I was lucky and caught it on a deal when it was only $219.00.

Great monitors, especially for the price. I was worried about the matte finish and the monitors not being bright enough. However they turned out to be so bright that I had to turn the brightness down. Super responsive. Highly recommend.

Superb Monitor, my fav. I now have 5 omg and I'd like to have a couple more. I use them for my stock trading setups at multiple locations. Most times I see these go on sale at Best Buy I try to pick one up. No issues yet to be seen and my first one was several years ago, maybe 4 or 5. 4K crisp clarity. Hmm, I need 1 more
First photo its the bottom left, second photo its the bottom 3. Didn't get a pic of the 5th but its being used in the center as main monitor.

How-to: 60Hz on M1 MacBook Air (see below)

It took me a while, but I could not get 60Hz with the provided HDMI cable to USB on my M1 MacBook Air, but as a last resort, I finally tried using a third-party DisplayPort cable to USB-C. Other than that, I did have to slightly bend my universal VESA mount to clear the weird humps on the back of the monitor's shell. Super good screen quality.

Paired with my series x and ps5. Really good colors. I’m cool w 60hz vs 120hz. HDR has been really nice. Glad it has an aux port too to hook up to a mini sound bar. All in all really great monitor

I Bought a Second One to Use at the Office

So good value I bought two - one for home and one to leave at the office.
Is this a bright gaming monitor? No! But the value is incredible.
The ONLY drawback: the brightness is far lower than a MacBook’s display. If the sun is streaming from behind you onto the monitor, you’ll struggle to see what you want. But in a normal sun free environment with usage, this monitor is incredible even for gaming. I love it!
HDMI 2.0 not 2.1 in case you care.

Needed a 3rd monitor for my 3 monitor setup. The other two are curved so I went with a flat Samsung for the center. Great monitor. Gorgeous picture. Literally so bright I run it at 30% otherwise my eyes would hurt (positive thing). Great for 1440p or 4k viewing and gaming at a standard 3-6ft viewing distance.

A mayor change from my old Dell 2008 24" monitor! The high resolution let me to have side-to-side aplicacions very comfortable to use. Colors are accurate, very good contrast, and black almost black.
The cons:
HDMI input may interfere if you use some direct-connect device, like my amazon firestick TV (I have to buy an adapter to fit it).
Other cons, comparing to other monitors, it's the lack of USB inputs.
And the sound is almost inexistent. This point do not bother me, as my laptop have very nice sound and I also use headphones. DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SPEAKER REPLACEMENT!

Display is good, no issues w that and the size is perfect. The stand is a little ugly and takes up a lot of space but you can just get something from Amazon to hang it on the wall. Overall, 10/10 purchase

this is an amazing monitor. The resolution is incredible. Included power cord is long so no issues plugging in. Virtually no picture border, making the screen usable from end to end and corner to corner. I love using Word, Excel, PPT, Photoshop, AutoCAD, and a few other programs on this monitor because of the clarity and size. I highly recommend this monitor.

Got 2 of these for my teenage boys for gaming and they absolutely love them. Perfect size and actually does have a USB port and AUX port for speakers which is not in the description. They’re not pro gamers but the 4K resolution and refresh rate looks amazing!!

Absolutely no complaints. Great for video editing and music mixing as it's really nice having a big screen to keep my workplace organized. my setup is now 3 of these each hooked up to 8k display port/hdmi cables and it's helped increase my productivity with ease
