Had some concerns hearing about screen issues so only ended up buying on sale. Have had it for about a month now without any issues and has been performing really well. I would recommend using nvidia or amd color settings because the default color is not very accurate straight out of the box.

I ordered this a couple weeks ago and returned it in the 2nd day of ownership. I was so happy to get it and unbox it. Colors were perfect and screen was incredibly fast. This happiness was short lived. Upon fhe 2nd day i turn it on and come to find out it has a dead pixel and seems to spread. I did everything in my power to try and fix it but nothing worked. I took it in to best buy for a possible discount and the clerk told me to just return it due to the fact that it will most likely get even worse. Moral of the story. Be very careful when buying samsung monitors. Read the reviews first.

Wobble while we play

I spent days reading reviews for a gaming monitor, finally went into Best Buy and asked the Geek Squad for their opinion. We looked at several and this one was in stock at the store. Brought it home, not too difficult to assemble, but the stand is poorly made and the monitor wobbles. I guess if you like that added movement in your monitor-game play than this is the one to buy.

Upgrade to freesync/gsync

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I wanted a variable refresh monitor for gaming that didn’t downgrade me in relation to my older 30” IPS dell Ultrasharp. I previously bought a different monitor using a VA panel and was very disappointed. Saw this one on clearance so I had to get it. Image color and contrast look really good. Handles motion very well too. I’m pretty picky about the image quality and I’m happy with the image. Clearance price was excellent, it would be worth the retail price to me except for one issue. My only real complaint is variable refresh using AMD Freesync would cause the image to momentarily black out intermittently. Searching on the issue it sounds like nvidea drivers fare no better. I found a work around that involves setting up a custom resolution with a refresh rate slightly less than the native refresh rate and everything works great all the time now. The OSD is a little annoying how it resets the image when engaged but I don’t really need to use it once it is setup so I don’t really care. Overall I am very happy once I got the work around figured out.

Look into other brands for a gaming monitor.

Monitor has a pretty bad flickering issue with certain games that's been causing headaches, as well as a few weeks after getting it in January '23, there's been an intermittent issue where the display will show the motherboard screen/windows loading screen on boot and then bug out into vertical bars, likely an issue with the monitor's PCB. Contacted their support but they want you to ship the monitor to them and provide your own box to ship it in so if you buy this one, keep the box.
From what I've seen online and from what a few friends have experienced, the vertical bars and flickering seems to be a common issue across a lot of their monitors. Work around for the vertical bars is to turnthe monitor on AFTER booting/waking up your PC or (when the issue happens when alt + tabbing out of a full screen game) turning off and unplugging the monitor for a minute.
It works for the most part but I'd suggest looking at any other option before Samsung.

The monitor is in that perfect range of taking up just about all of my viewing space and rendering everything perfectly. It may not be 4K but I have tried those before and honestly it just made everything smaller and harder to see. Side effect of that more pixels per inch I suppose. Performance wise it has been great as well. Though I have yet to test its maximum capabilities.

If your new to gaming monitors, you'll need some speakers to go along with this. Otherwise amazing graphics. Works with my Xbox series X.
