Monitor doesn't work - button issues

I spent all night reorganizing my desk, rerouting wires, and assembling this monitor - all for it to NOT work. The only button on the monitor doesn't work, the monitor menu gets frozen on screen, and it doesn't stay on longer than a minute. When it turns back on, the screen is black. Can't change inputs. Returning ASAP.

I've experienced pretty much every possible problem with this monitor. Adaptive Sync has severe flickering issues on any game that isn't stable above 80fps. Some colors, like orange, have noticeable scanlines in the corners of the monitor. There's a pretty significant backlight bleed in the bottom of the screen which spoils the otherwise excellent contrast. I've have to disable adaptive-sync entirely because the flickering is so bad. As a premium product I'm very disappointed and regret not returning it within the purchase window. Until Samsung fixes these QA issues, I won't get another monitor from them.

2k Gaming Monitor

This was my first 2k monitor, and if you can find it on a deal, I recommend it. I used this mainly for gaming; it always did a great job. The colors are what worried me at first. VA panels are known to not be as accurate as IPS, but strangely, this monitor has more vibrant colors and darks than my other IPS monitor.

Excellent gaming experience, curve not detrimental

FAST VA panel. It does have very little black smear compared to previous VA ultrawide I had. Tried 240hz IPS but can't stand IPS glow. Much better contrast than IPS, so blacks are deeper, not OLED deep but better. You don't get a weak contrast + glow combo like in IPS panels which makes playing AAA games with darker scenery a lot less distracting for me. Stuck with 27" version for more pixel density. Overall balanced gaming experience. 1440p has less detail than 4k but pushes more fps for smoother gameplay. You get use to the curve. This is Faker version, get whichever G7 version cheaper or on sale like I did. Doesn't come with Faker figurines like in Samsung ad.

Very Good but overpriced

Very Good Picture, Colorful HDR600
Many don't know how to use a HDR monitor, These are my tips :
1. Install the LATEST driver for your Graphic Card
2. Install the Monitor Driver ( for Color Profile )
3. Make sure the Monitor is updated with the latest firmware
4. Don't turn on the Windows HDR, let apps to turn on the HDR
( for example if you want to watch HDR movies, use your player software like MPC + MADVR plugin, MADVR automatically shifts to HDR mode if the video has HDR stream ).
for many games it is also switches automatically. like DOOM
5. Windows "night mode ( eyes protection ) " ruins the HDR ! make sure to turn it off while you are in HDR mode.
Cons :
1. Monitor stand is cheap plastic, I wish it was solid metal like alienware. so sometimes when you rotate the display the stand stand rotates with monitor too! because the stand is very light.
( as for Alienware the Stand is very heavy and solid but the display is light. Samsung the Stand is light but display is heavy! ).
2. Expensive for no reason!

27inch enough for 1440p?

To be quick the curve is really good for gaming and its a unique experience very enjoyable.
The colors are really good
Contrast brightness saturation..
The 240hz is amazing can never go back to 60-144hz now.
What I was really unhappy about was the 2650 x 1440p resolution all my games just looked too small didnt matter much on the FOV.. I am not sure if in the 32inch version this might be the same but 27in isnt enough for me..
Im using the 1920 x 1440p resolution as that one feels like it should be its native but isnt..
Returning it for the new 360hz 1080p 24.5 alienware

Amazing monitor for use with xbox series x. Colors and brightnes are perfect. Curve maybe took a day to get used to, but now I don't even notice it. No flickering or motion blurring that people have said is a problem with this monitor with the xbox. No limitations with the xbox; can run at 1440p and 120hz without disabling any of the other features.

Amazing with one big flaw..

Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.

It is an amazing monitor when in use, but the reason for my rating is there is a known issue that has no way to resolve it.
Basically if you are using two monitors and turn them both off, the Samsung takes 7-10 seconds to turn on, which causes the secondary display to default to the primary window for a second. After it turns on the primary window changes back to the G7, but all windows on the second display get reset onto the Samsung. A very annoying issue to deal with if you plan on using more than just this monitor.
I have updated the monitor firmware and the issue persists. Online you can find many other users describing this problem.

Perfect 1440p monitor for my gaming setup

The curve maybe polarizing to many people. However, this is my first time using a curved monitor and it very good. At the perfect height and distance away from the screen it is definitely much more immersive during gameplay. Panel was perfect with a little bit of non backlight bleed but not terrible. Contrast and color are top notch and speed is excellent.
I was able to get this with a -250$ sale and it is definitely a great value at that price.

I’m really loving this monitor. It’s a huge step up from a 1080 24” monitor. It was well packaged, the presentation was great and make it so you can assemble in the box without touching the monitor itself. 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic Monitor

Finally decided to spend a decent bit of money on a piece of equipment that is crucial to actually interfacing with the computer (rather than spending it all on components inside), and that I spend all day staring at! Overall, this is a fantastic monitor, my panel arrived with no dead pixels and no flickering. The only issue I have is with the viewing angles but that's a known limitation of VA panels and can't be helped. Just be sure to have your eye level right in the center of the panel, and be an arms length away from the screen, to avoid color/gamma shifting as much as possible (if that bothers you). Price is a bit up there for sure but well worth it given the quality.

Great image quality, but lacking on some areas

The monitor itself has great image and plenty of input ports. It is easy to put together. However, at this price point I would say there are some things I would be concerned about:
True Gsync range is 80-240 when using an NVIDIA card. You have to make sure you tweak your settings on demanding games to have higher than 80fps constantly, otherwise you will experience some flickering and tearing below 80fps. If the monitor range was 40-240 it would have been ideal.
Monitor does not have a standby feature and thus will not auto turn on. This is quite annoying. Also, input auto detection does not work as intended.
Finally, not as important, absolutely no speakers. Even some tiny speakers would do.
If you can overlook these items the monitor itself is quite nice. But it is not for me.

Purchased while it was on sale to replace my old monitor. As a pc gaming noob I thought it would be an appropriate addition to my setup, WELL I WAS WRONG.
I have a 2070 super paired with a 3700x and 32gb ram and i have barely been able to scratch the surface of what this monitor can do! Picture and build quality are amazing.

It is an amazing monitor. Curved took a bit to adjust to, but now I feel it is the only way to go. I currently have 3 of these monitors on computers in my house. 2 Odyssey G7's, and this G77 faker. Really all are the same thing. If one can afford this monitor it is the only way to go for a gamer.

Works great and looks amazing! Can't really tell the difference between 144 and 240 (you can but it's not that big of a difference) the picture quality looks great and had very minimal bleed on the corners.. love it!

I absolutely love this thing. 2k, 240hz curved monitors is the way to game on PC. I do agree with some reviews that the 27” may be to small. But it works great for my set up.
