Excellent brightness and color range. I use it to watch movies and youtube with great results. It's not a dedicated gaming monitor but I've found it acceptable in this capacity as well.
For productivity, it is great for spreadsheets and software development. I use split screen of documentation on one side and IDE on the other.

I am a software developer and photographer who has used VA panels for years (specifically high-end AMVA+), so I thought I knew what to expect regarding viewing angles and contrast. Unfortunately, this Samsung ViewFinity S7 (S70D) exhibits the worst traits of cheap VA panel technology. I ended up returning it.
Here is the breakdown:
The Good:
If you sit dead-center, exactly 3 feet away, and never move your head, the 4K resolution is sharp and videos look colorful. If you just want a budget monitor to watch YouTube or movies in a dark room, this is a decent value for the price ($220 on sale).
The Bad (Dealbreakers for Productivity):
- Severe Black Smearing: This is the main reason I returned it. When scrolling through text (black font on white background or vice versa), the text leaves a visible trail/ghost behind it. On Ubuntu, these artifacts actually appeared green! It creates a "motion blur" effect that causes immediate eye strain.
- Terrible Viewing Angles: The "Gamma Shift" is aggressive. If you look at the top of the screen, the bottom third "glows" and colors wash out. You have to stay perfectly still to get a uniform image.
- Black Crush: While blacks are deep, they crush all detail. Dark grey areas just look like black ink; you lose all texture in dark photos or movie scenes.
- Broken DDC/CI: The monitor does not support software brightness control. If you use a Mac or PC apps to control volume/brightness via keyboard, it will not work with this monitor.
Verdict:
Do not buy this if you work with text, code, or do any design work. The ghosting/smearing during scrolling makes it unusable for office work. Only buy this if you need a very cheap, stationary display strictly for media consumption.

It's a good monitor. only 4 starts since I've had issues getting sound to come out of the built in speakers.
It has a standard refresh rate of 60. So this won't help someone who need gsync for mondo frames but works great as an every day monitor.
The "Eye Saving" feature is very nice. I use this when working and it's a life saver.

This is a great monitor. I have low vision and this month is extremely clear for me to read. I use it with both Linux and Windows via a KVM switch. I have connected it to several different computers and it has never disappointed.
It was also a great price when I bought it.

Great monitor and great value. The 4K picture is sharp, colors look clean, and the screen is bright and easy to work on. Setup was simple and the build feels solid. For the price, this is a very good buy.

This is an amazing screen I bought for work during a sale. The quality and form factors work very well for my needs. My only wishes are that the cables were a little longer and that it came with some bolts for mounting to a different stand.

Good for the price. HDR unfortunately giving red blemish that can’t be adjusted. Firmware update doesn’t help. Also annoying info menu at the boot that can’t be turned off. 60hz can be noticeable time to time. Otherwise I enjoy 4K gaming with it.

Using this monitor with an Apple Mini. Works very well together. Perfect budget way to go. I bought a wall mount on Amazon and hid all the cords. Love it.

Very good quality for the price if on discount. Older panel but good black and colors. Thin bezel for the size. Recommended for general desktop and video. Only 60Hz but quick response rate can handle games.
