I have had this monitor for approximately a week. I use it with my 2020 Macbook Pro. It has great resolution and the Thunderbolt capability is why I purchased it. I do wish it had more ports in the back of the display to eliminate the need for additional docks or cables attached to my computer.

It looks beautiful and the display is beautiful. I love how it moves up and down and all around so you can customize it to your setup and height. The curve is great and size fits a standard desk perfectly. I would definitely buy again.

Perfect TB 3 Monitor - Except for the Flickering

Connected Device: Lenovo Yoga C940 (with 2 Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
OS: Windows 11
Cable: Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Cable
This monitor is beautiful, looks great, and is everything I would want: (great size, love the curved screen, love the ultra-wide, love the resolution, decent refresh rate, and most importantly - Thunderbolt 3 compatible) - but to cut to the point - this screen flickers, a lot, and is ultra-noticeable, and ultra-annoying. The screen flickering is not constant, but rather, intermittently. I would say on average, the flicker is about once every ten minutes. It's definitely enough that I constantly notice it. And keep in mind that in any monitor I've ever owned I've never had a screen flicker at all (including my $200 monitor that I had before this one).
I have tried just about all I can think to do to rectify the screen flickering issue: 1) updated any related drivers (graphics card, Thunderbolt 3 etc); 2) Played with Refresh Rate coming from graphics card - I tried 60, I tried 100 (100Hz would match what the monitor's refresh rate is). 3) Bought a more premium Thunderbolt 3 cable and tried that instead of the one that came with the monitor. 4) I tried connecting the laptop to the monitor with a USB-C to HDMI adaptor - issue still present with that set up. 5) I tried plugging the power source of the monitor to be in a stand-alone outlet (versus being in a surge protector with other devices). 6) I also did contact Samsung support which overall wasn't very helpful / did not remediate the issue.
No matter what I tried, the result is the same - intermittent flickering. This screen would have been absolutely perfect for me without the screen flickering. But because of this, I think it's best for me to return the monitor and look for something else. Throwing this kind of money down for a monitor that flickers is just unacceptable to me.

The good: At first glance, beautiful monitor, solid materials, easy to hook up to 2 laptops and charged a MacBook Pro 13 via thunderbolt. Good price for size, aspect ratio, and resolution.
The bad: Unfortunately, the toggle nub on the back of the monitor that navigates through the menu was damaged on arrival and could not select left. Ended up returning as this makes it very difficult (ie almost impossible) to switch inputs or adjust monitor settings.
Other issues:
The top bezel where the screen meets the plastic casing was uneven so that it looked like there was extra material budging up slightly out of the monitor housing. Just an imperfection in manufacturing that is annoying since its in direct line of sight when using the monitor. At this price point, arguably unacceptable.
I didn't fiddle with it too much (button issue) nor research it deeply, but although PBP/PIP mode works fine, there isn't a good internal KVM and switching monitor/keyboard between connected computers wasn't intuitive (assuming its possible).
Be prepared, the powerbrick is huge.

I absolutely love this monitor. I bought it on sale and probably would have passed on it at full price, but i am extremely happy with what i got. It's worth full price, and if you happen to be looking at this while it's on sale, do yourself a favor and buy it. Extraordinary performance, the extra width over the 33 inch monitors is invaluable, love the adjustable height and tilt, but sometimes its the little things that make the difference, like the fact that i can rapidly charge my phone or ipad with the USB connection, freeing up an outlet on the surge protector.

My wife absolutely LOVES this monitor. When she had to start working from home daily due to COVID-19, this was something she needed. She is PM and uses multiple screens/files and needs to be able to see them all at one time and this screen does just that. One screen replaces 2-3 monitors with ease. Sleek design, clean and crisp picture and easy to set up. She get compliments on this screen when friends come over and see it in her office.

Love this monitor. Had one from work for my wfh set up and ordered this one to add to the screen space. The picture quality is great for working and for videos. The speakers are amazing and work great for meetings. The audio quality is great. Love that you can tilt and adjust the height of the monitor. Overall, would definitely recommend this.

Love this monitor. I have 2 monitors at work and I was initially considering purchasing two for home. After a little research, I decided to go with one wide screen monitor. Very happy with the choice. Multitasking is so much easier. Sound is fine for watching tv/movies or listening to music. And with the Thunderbolt connection, I have additional USB ports.

Took a while to decide, but decided to take the plunge. I am not a gamer. Instead I bought this to use for work and for personal use. Mainly needed wider screen to cover multiple windows (web, streaming, excel and pdf reading). Pairing it with screen manager makes my work much more efficient. I got used to the curvature very quickly. Display quality is good.

Seamless process and delivered to the store on time. Picking it up was easy. The monitor is awesome. The vivid color and curve is very necessary. I love the curved screen and design. The only drawback is the design of the cords. It was kind of hard to plug everything in because they were trying to be as compact as possible and clean as possible in hiding the cords.

I am not tech savvy but I am learning daily and I am an enthusiast for technology. I am all about productivity. It is straight forward with how to set up. I downloaded manual since I use an older MacBook and do not have a thunderbolt connect port. I am using the HDMI cable right now until I purchase my new computer. Super large screen and you can actually watch 3 screens simultaneously.

I am using this monitor in my office: with one word, excellent. Works flawlessly with my MacBook Pro. I needed a good monitor for my MacBook that also charges it at the same time, and it does the job. Screen quality is also very good for my purposes.

Very happy with the screen. I work from home and always have multiple spreadsheets to work on. I originally bought an LG 1080p but numbers were too blurry. The curve is a nice touch and makes it easier to read
