Love it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor is so nice. Easy to setup and is a huge upgrade from my previous 2 monitor setup. I am using it for productivity, and I love being able to actually use the center! The oled screen did take a little bit getting used to coming from IPS (made me a little nauseous) but now my eyes are used to it and its great. The real estate on this thing is just amazing.

Amazing ultra wide experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Magic. This screen is pure magic. On paper it’s 2 screens put together, but as a single panel, it’s ridiculous in the best way possible. The sale made this purchase a no brainer. Hard to not use OLED once you’ve used it

Excellent Monitor for about $1k
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor is fantastic. It’s huge, but taking it out of the box was pretty easy going. As a monitor, it does just fine, but it is very wide so a big desk is needed. Also, not all games or content supports this resolution so be warned, to do some tinkering in some games. Also, when playing games windowed because the game does not support full screen properly, be sure to set the sides to black to prevent burn in if you are in a long gaming session. It’s too new for me to see issues with burn in, but the pixel shift and refresh should keep it in good shape. The other thing is the Samsung TV plus, which is basically free cable. It connects via Wi-Fi. I have a mesh network, but the streaming was not always fluid. Also, it does not take up the full screen, but is centered. Overall, the apps are a nice addition. I have not tried all the features yet, but Flight simulator and Assasin’s creed origins look great on it.

It's been great!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using this monitor for almost a month now, and so far, it's been great. It's the first ultrawide monitor I've ever used and it set the bar high. The ultrawide with the HDR/OLED combo is amazing. Playing most videogames that have support for 32:9 feel like watching a movie. One thing that I was worried about was how much it would effect my gaming performance but in all honesty I've noticed little to no impact. Thats coming from a 165hz 1440p monitor. The only real CON I've come across, and its typically the case for any "smart" tv's or monitors, is the boot time for the monitor. From completely off to the point it turns on and auto switches to my pc port my computer is already booted and waits for the monitor to catch up. Its not a deal breaker by any means but is the only miniscule issue ive come across. This monitor is a huge recommendation to anybody looking to upgrade.

Stunning, so far
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I know what I was getting into picking up this monitor. A beautiful but limited lifespan. OLEDs are known for getting horrific burn-in and image retention. Thats why I have BestBuy total to replace it when it inevitably dies. Until then, its been well worth the money. Visually stunning, and the speakers aren’t half bad, but they aren’t why anyone is purchasing this monitor. I did have a weird flickering issue with the monitor when using a display cable. Using a HDMI 2.1 completely solved this issue. Do yourself a favor and use a HDMI 2.1 cable. Only with an HDMI cable can you reach the advertised 240hz. The display cable can only do 120hz.

Amazing panel, horrible software, go for the G93SC
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This panel is beautiful. I have no complaints regarding the visuals. The reason for the three stars is that the software/OS is terrible. Every time the panel turns on or wakes, it takes 22 seconds for all the different prompts and tips to get out of the way so I can actually use the screen. Why show these every time? Give me an option to say, "Yes, I understand how the screen works, stop showing me this." There are also an unnecessary number of steps to be able to change settings I'm commonly changing, like brightness and pixel shift. And these menus are often quite slow to navigate. I also never plan on using any of the smart TV features built in. I wish the G93SC was available at the time I purchased, which to my understanding does not include any of those "features". Love playing games on this, the real estate for productivity is excellent. Just wish all these prompts would go away, that I could disable the smart TV features, and that I could have quicker access to the Pixel Shift setting.

I have two of these.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing monitor. I have two of these. Great dark blacks and colors are vibrant. Only drawback is that it does not wake up when plugged into a Display Port. HDMI works fine but with Display Port it takes a lot of messing around in the menu to get it to work. Oddly, if you have 3 monitors on Display Port, it works fine, but not with one.

Crazy good-looking, and screen quality 4K monitor
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor is crazy good-looking, and the screen quality is amazing at 4K (5120 x 1440). Paired with my GTX 4090 Video card on my PC. The games I play look so realistic, crispy, and beautiful that I enjoy playing for hours.

Great Real Estate and Colors
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great monitor and a much needed one for me. View is great so are colors. I use this as a work from home monitor as well as personal use, including gaming, webs surfing, and whatever else. I'd say my biggest two gripes are that there is only 1 Display Port, which isn't ideal for my specific use case (juggling between home and work use) and sometimes the cable connection isn't established, so I need to dis/reconnect the DP in my computer. These aren't crazy but inconvenient for sure.

It was as i expected.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this product for about a week so far and i have to admit the monitor is clear and huge. The 240 hz only works in gaming mode and when you are not in gaming mode it puts you at a default 120 hz. Setting the monitor up was easy but i would recommend 2 people to do so. I'd rather have the power supply integrated into the monitor but the cords are long enough where it's not much of an issue for me. This monitor looks great, the base is ideal and the height is perfect for my desk. My only main downside is that i have a samsung TV and when i go to change the input, volume or channels, the monitor also receives the signal and tries to do what the TV is doing. I do wish there were more display port inputs or even USB A ports to connect my peripherals from my desk it does have 3 usb type c ports which i assume will be to it's benefit in the further future.

Great monitor, worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This monitor has been great for me. I got it originally for play, but had to work the night it arrived. And it was bought almost on a whim and I thought I might return it if it didn’t live up to the hype. But I was amazed how good it was for work right away, which sold me. I work on multiple documents at once (I’m a lawyer so having 4+ docs open side by side is a regular thing) and it is so much better than multiple screens. For games it is awesome. Very immersive with great colors and contrast. I’ve been very pleased with my purchase.

Great...in theory
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's great in theory. So really, it is an amazing picture. Gorgeous piece of tech. I have wanted one for a while and I finally pulled the trigger over Black Friday. Issue is - it will go completely black at times and you either have to reset your Image drivers, turn it off, unplug the HDMI/DP cable (I have tried both) to get it come back. Most times after doing this I am fine - but sometimes it will make the game I am playing crash, which is not cool at all. I wish I'd looked into this monitor a bit more since this issue is being reported by multiple people over on Samsung's forums. I am past my BB return window, otherwise I'd return it for something else. It is a pretty monitor but when it doesn't work (which is 1-2 times a night) it can be more headache than it is worth.

Wow.. Great Monitor. Look like art work!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great monitor, but does takes up the whole desk. I love being able to use it for work and entertainment. It can't take some practice because the Windows OS wants to open a lot of windows full screen.

Gorgeous but has flaws
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gorgeous monitor, comes with remote and the picture looks fantastic. Lookswise, its great Unfortunately it also has issues. It likes to randomly go black. Had to change frame rate to 160 in order to prevent it from happening AS MUCH. Note, it still happens. Randomly. All wires are fine, everything is updated as it should be ect. Very unfortunate. Should have kept my previous dual monitors. I never had this issue before.

Great product but lacks some features
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great picture quality, needs a kvm included and Samsung needs to add support for dolby vision. Also does not have a true pnp featuer and the samsung included method is limited. Out of box picture needs some tweaking. Display port needed for macos to get full resolution. If not on game mode the frequency is reduced. It would be nice to have a more agressive curve for gaming but it works great for coding Text ppi is comparable to my former ips monitor. The process to change inputs is annoying and could have been better to have a button on the remote.
