Non-stop crashes & issues on a M2 Macbook Pro.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to like this monitor, but it's so unreliable and spammy. When it works, it looks fantastic... the QD-OLED panel offers amazing picture quality for games and movies, and acceptable text clarity (not as good as normal LCD, and has noticeable color fringing around the edges of characters, but not too distracting overall). The 5120 * 1440 resolution is fantastic for both gaming and office work, giving you a ultrawide field of view in shooters and comfortably allowing 3 browser windows side-by-side. But using this with a M2 Max Macbook Pro, I've experienced constant issues that happen every few hours or more. The worst of them is an occasional kernel panic that crashes the entire computer and forces a reboot; the resulting error message (DCPEXT1 PANIC) indicates a problem with the display co-processor of Apple Silicon chips. This happens with a USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cable connected through a Thunderbolt 4 hub, that same cable directly connected to the computer, or a USB-C to Display 2.1 cable connected directly to the computer. No combination of cable and settings I tried resulted in a stable, crash-free configuration, despite several multi-hour days of testing and reconfiguration. Over HDMI, it's even worse. HDMI can't sustain the full bandwidth of this resolution at 240 Hz, so you have to lower the refresh rate. A monitor bug results in a permanent bright green line across the bottom of the screen when HDMI is connected (it's not there in any menu screens, only when you're showing the computer image). That's definitely going to cause burn-in, not to mention it's distracting all the time. With a lower-bandwidth cable (like older HDMI or DP 1.4), other problems occur too: Strange color banding with gradients, VRR (variable refresh rate) glitches and crashes, display image corruption resulting in hyper-flickering green blocks jumping across the screen, and other myriad problems. Probably these are display issues with DisplayPort over USB-C, possibly related to Apple Silicon computers. And Thunderbolt displays were never very reliable to begin with. With a near-4k resolution like this has, combined with a 240 Hz max refresh, the problems only compound and the crashes and glitches are too frequent. Unfortunately, if you're stuck on an Apple laptop like I am, there is no other way around these issues. Separate from the hardware and display issues, though, the monitor itself has an incredibly user-hostile user interface. Samsung stupidly jammed their obnoxious smart TV interface into this monitor, and it constantly spams you with annoying beeps, whines, pop-up notifications, and ads. Every time you wake the monitor, it shows you a useless "game bar" that obscures the lower half of the screen for a good 10-15 seconds (over the area you'd normally use to type in your computer password). The only way to disable this is to buy a third-party OEM service remote from eBay in order to enter a secret service menu and turn it off that way, or use an open-source script can do the same with a Raspberry Pi and an IR blaster. It's incredibly stupid and annoying. The rest of the monitor UI is very slow, with every menu click taking several seconds to register and redraw, all while you're spammed with inane recommendations and ads for the latest TV show of some sort. You cannot update the firmware without creating a Samsung account and logging in, which force-enables all of these recommendations and ads. The underlying QD-OLED panel is fantastic, but the monitor packaging and software around it is terrible. This is my first and probably last Samsung product. It is enshittified user-hostile design. If the reliability problems with a Mac could be fixed, I'd consider keeping it only because the picture quality is so good, and the UI issues can be worked around with a service remote. But altogether, I'm very disappointed, frustrated, and annoyed by this product and this company.

Monitor that can do it all
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been living with this monitor for about a month now. I have been using it pretty heavily for productivity and gaming and it has been flawless in both situations. The amount of content that I can have open at one time has certainly increased my productivity and games are stunning and very immersive. This monitor is a steal if you can get it for the right price!

Mind Blowing!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mind blowing! I will never be able to go back to any other monitor. The wide display and impeccable specs is truly a game-changer. I get around 180-200 fps in destiny 2 with a 3080ti which is honestly amazing given I didn’t think my pc would be able to keep up with the monitor. Even so I easily hit 240+ in games like rocket league.
