    Too many issues

    Panel showed promise but sleep to wake was inconsistent. Had to reboot the computer each time just to get out of sleep mode or unplug the display port cable and plug it back in. I thought I wouldn’t care about it, but having a mini display port and micro hdmi but no matter what aftermarket cable I tried I was having issues that I wouldn’t have with a stock cable but if you need a longer length so far, I feel like you’re out of luck. As nice as a glossy oled is that is the trade-off on quantum dot oled is that there’s no polarizer in the screen so if you have any windows open, hitting it or lighting directly behind you which I try to control as much as I can, it will start to elevate the overall black levels. When shades were down, the lights were dim it was not an issue overall does a good job trying to eliminate glare but that’s the one issue can run into any oled panel. Even thiugh yhe peak specular highlight detail is brightet than lg the color saturatuon in game mode is almost too saturated even with what changes you are limited to. None of the current oleds panel offerings for monitors are perfect. In fact they are far from it but for now I’m gonna stick with the LG 45 inch.

    Really enjoyed the monitor for just gaming at first. Build is nice, and the monitor is just awesome looking. Issues began becoming more annoying as time went on with the fact that Samsung just made some down right weird decisions. Mini-DisplayPort and mini-HDMI on a gaming advertised monitor? Weird. But the annoying part came when, after leaving the monitor on for long periods of time (on a black screen to prevent burn-in,) Samsung thought it was a great idea to have a pop up appear randomly, that you can't disable, most of the time in the middle of a PvP game. Super frustrating. The return came honestly when I couldn't easily hook up my PS5 to play the new Spiderman 2 game due to the mini-HDMI. Took a look at the alienware - aw3423dwf, and realized its the better monitor, for having normal cable inputs, the same HDR capabilities and the only thing i lost was 10hz in refresh rate. Super worth, avoid this monitor and get the Alienware instead.

    Great clarity, Easy setup, Top of the line User interface including an app store for built in streaming. My two complaints are that it has no standard Hdmi. It has a micro hmdi which you may have to order online. Secondly the screen is super delicate and easily prone to damage. The stand isnt the strongest but it does the job.

    Coil Whine and Flickering

    Bought an Open Box in Excellent Condition. The display itself is pretty sharp. There is a noticeable coil whine that changes in pitch depending on what's on the display. Moving the mouse around causes the screen to flicker. Getting a replacement unit and will update review if possible.

    Although there is a lot to take in and configure, this is an excellent monitor/internet TV. The 120 hz refresh rate on a Mac Mini M2 is perfect. Highly recommend.

    Got damaged in shipping or something because the whole panel had slid inside the monitor housing. I just ended up returning it. Its a great monitor (I didn't really get the full experience) ended up going with another one. It has smart tv functions so if you want to duel purpose it then its great. The plus of this one over others is its minimalist design. I would wait until its on sale though, don't think it is worth full price.
