I returned the 60SD/27 Inch version and picked up this model. The built in smart apps are nice, I like that the monitor turns on screen save after some minutes of no activity. Colors are vibrant, the matte finish is less matte than my 27 LG oled was. It's like a mix of Matte and Glossy. It comes with everything you need. It's taking me a bit to get use to a larger screen. You will have to choose Pc resolution in properties for window to get 4k/ 240hz. For some reason PC saw it as a tv. Mounting plate for wall mounting is indented, so you will need long screws. I can't remember when samsung has made their Vesa mount points simple. This goes for their tv's also.
PROS:
Great Smart apps- PLex, Netflix/Tizen
Vibrant Colors
Very Responsive
Remote(even though it also controls my TV in same room)
Good Burn In Prevention tools
CON:
Price if you don't get 300 dollar Gift Card promo
No USB C port
Weird Vesa mounting points Indented
Not Sure how warranty will work with Burn in.

I have never been more disappointed with a purchase than this monitor. The picture is fantastic, the ports are on par with the other top brands. But the interface is utter trash. It forgets devices all the time, constantly popups up with samsungs garbage overlays on boot, defaults to the smart tv home screen and has a default timeout of 60 seconds when switching inputs before powering off.
All of these issues have led to me owning a thousand dollar monitor that I don't want to use. Every time I go to power it on I have a sense of dread over what fresh hell I'm going to experience just trying to get an image displayed on the screen. Will it place the display port 2 device on the input quick menu? Will it remember my work device was plugged in to hdmi 1? Will it decide I'd rather see advertisements for appletv shows? Who knows!?!
More often than not, I fall back on the secondary Dell that is on the dual arm mount next to this one. This monitor is nothing but an anxiety attack wrapped in 240hz.
Again, this is a great display panel but you can find identical panels on the Alienware and ASUS OLED's, unless you really want a barely functioning monitor full of bloated, useless garbage and an interface that is pure trash, go with one of those.
Samsung has dropped the ball so hard here I don't know that I'll ever even consider another monitor from them.

Monitor and TV in one! Great colors and gaming features. Comes with a remote as well with channels and streaming apps. It’s a great option.. for a monitor, because it has more features than what usual monitors have. My partner liked it so much he had to get one for himself too!

Purchased returned ooen box. Monitor graphics is next level & smart TV functionality is amazing. In game, sun glare is so real that I feel like I need sunglasses...
My only complaint is that the monitor it's difficult to set up to default to p c only.
It does black screen every once in a while to recalibrate color based on room dynamics, but it chooses inconvenient times. The screen is super sensitive to cleaning.

Really great monitor for PC Gaming. Deep, inky blacks and bright, popping colors. As someone who upgraded from a 27” 1440p OLED, I can assure you 4K OLED makes a difference. The text clarity and visual clarity is such a step up.

I was initally worried anbit about the embossed screen, but its really not an issue. It actually pretty kuch eliminates the “purple tint” QD OLED tends to get. The blacks are pure and deep and the colors are super vibrant! Super happy with this thing.

I have a great appreciation for quality. And that’s exactly what this monitor is, quality. The build quality is the best. They could’ve cheated out like the others and produced it out recycled tires but they didn’t. The picture just makes me wanna use my com even more. The smart feature is great. Don’t know why the new model did away with it

I am a huge Samsung fan, but this monitor missed its mark. there are a lot of issues with this and things I did not like which led me to return and go with an LG ultra gear.
biggest issue - random flickering, black, during gameplay. I'm running a 5090 NVidia founders edition. 4k at 240hz. no hdr. when calling Samsung tech support they recommended lowering refresh rate... what??
the screen also has features that you really wouldn't care about if you're using it as just a gaming monitor. I don't need smart tv features, I don't need speakers. I also don't want to manually power on and off my screen every time I turn my pc off or on. also, I don't want to see a gaming / settings hub every time I turn the monitor on, or it powers on from standby.
the picture quality was ok. It was a little dark for my liking. I do own a Samsung 77" OLED which I absolutely love, but this monitor did not do it for me.

I used this monitor to replace my aging non-OLED 34" Ultrawide. I looked at so many including the 39" Ultrawide from LG but this had the best OLED quality I found. The anti-glare finish I actually like (glare annoys me) and I been enjoying the smart-TV features far more then I had expected to on this (Watching my monitor while working on my PC was so nice) I just wish (or maybe I need to find it) there was PiP support and a KVM switch. Also the DP port cuts out on rare occasion which is annoying but hardly game breaking. From my understanding this is a software issue according to the forums so hopefully they can fix it.

This monitor has a dual function as a 4k gaming monitor and a tv. The menu is very simple to navigate through. My primary use for this monitor is gaming. The colors are very nice and the 240 hz refresh rate is something I have been waiting for with a 4k monitor.

Hard to argue against the latest tech. Impressed by the great spec sheet and the monitor performs perfectly. The fine tuning and adjustability is great, all the features you could want, just expect some of them to be buried in the overloaded UI and OS. Its a great overall monitor, for media it excels in all the right places amazing colors, amazing shadows, everything that is great about OLED turned to 11, for every day office use and the highly compressed internet video services such as you tube I still find my IPS monitors punching above their weight class.
The UI and overall navigation is cluttered by Samsung's attempt to make an all in one entertainment and PC monitor leading to missing the mark in some places, it is almost an identical user experience to Smart TV operating systems which may overwhelm some users.

The monitor is spectacular. I down sized from an ark 55inch to have better text scaling to study and cant be happier. The 240hz refresh rate is so clean! The anti glare mat screen is amazing compaired to older displays I have owned. After the update out of the box it has several screen saving features to prevent burn in whete it will dim when not used or "shake" the image when staring at a constant image for awhile.
I got mine on sale but Highly recommend.
