    I really wanted this to work, but the foot print of this monitor was just too much. Took up a lot of space at the back to where the back of the monitor even started. It is a pretty machine, but they need to work on the engineering of the base to solve some of the problems with the footprint of the machine. I had to return this item due to the unusable space that it created. Disappointed by the specs with measurements as this type of equipment should include diagram specs (multiple measurements from center to back, ends to back, end to front center, etc) that I was unable to locate prior to purchasing.

    It's Huge and even if you wall mount it, it sticks out from the wall due to it's mounting plate. Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 and although it looks good, there are still Hiccups with the display. On boot up my computer doesn't recognize the Video Input. Not sure if the DP cable they sent with it isn't 3090 compatible but I get error messages on every boot up. Mini Joystick to navigate the menu is easy to use and good for different display settings. Dual Monitor is Just awesome through the PIP function. I have 2 PC's running simultaneously and it's flawless. 240hz on all resolution settings is awesome... Just wish it was an IPS and not VA Panel for the price. But I'll live. and oh ya if you buy this, don't be naïve, buy the 4 year Geek Squad warranty. No one needs a $1400 paper weight.

    Great monitor, have some color banding (horizonal stripes) when displaying random content, I think some shade of grey triggers this. Also had to update firmware on it to use with RTX 3090.

    Like everyone else considering this model, I was incredibly worried there may be a defect or I may have to replace the screen multiple times. Nope! The screen is flawless, just about everything seems to be in line with the specs, and luckily my 2080 (original, not super) has been able to run it well enough at 1440. If you're on the fence, I say get it. I've heard others say there's a fishbowl effect, which seems true depending on how far you sit, but if you get the right distance the edges are just past your peripheral and you see everything without turning.

    This monitor is a godsend from all other monitors. 240hz is amazingly clear. And with my 3090 Ti I definitely can take advantage of those higher frame rates

    What an awesome monitor. One note, I did have to update the firmware using a USB key directly in the monitor to fix some issues, but once I had the update in place the picture was amazing.

    Beautiful clear screen to be sure. It is a very heavy monitor. On it's stand it was a bit tipsy leaning forward a bit. Sadly I broke my monitor when the right leg slipped over the end of my desk came crashing forward breaking the screen on impact with a coffee cup on my desk. Be very careful in placement on your desk.

    Got a good deal on this model, the issue is the clicking warping noises samsung monitors have when they heat up and theres no way yo get rid of it until they make changes to their entire set up, im able to get passed it by having a regular tuned hdr on but the darks and whites are closely accurate. 1ms is true as well but watch out for dead pixels!

    Love the ultrawide aspect for work. For older games, there are usually fixes available online to make the game work in the 21:9 aspect ratio. Newer games tend to support it out of the box, but some games stretch on the sides to accommodate. The good news is that it's so wide that the stretching is usually on the periphery, so you don't notice it. Absolutely love this monitor, and would not hesitate to recommend it to others!

    Bought 3 of these as Christmas gifts and everyone says that it’s a productivity booster. Beware Mac user you *MAY* need an OEM Apple USB-C to HDMI converter in order for MacBook system display to show you more resolutions to choose from, which is a must on Mac connection. After-market usb to hdmi cable may or may not work in intel based Mac. Overall it works on very well from 7 year old MacBook all the way to M2. Windows is mostly plug and play.

    Spectacular. This thing is amazin. Playing games in it fullscreen makes me a bit nauseous but it's otherwise amazing. No issues whatsoever. No dead pixels, no popping noises, no issues getting 240hz to work with my 3080 with HDR and adaptive sync. For people saying the HDR looks terrible, try removing the turning off dynamic brightness and local dimming. Play with the brightness then disable and re-enable HDR in Windows if necessary. Also has a black level equalizer - I set this all the way up as high as it could go then re-enabled HDR and it looks fantastic.

    This is a fantastic display and possibly ahead of its time. I wanted a monitor that would both offer immersive gaming for my down-time and maximum productivity for my day job. I have a 3090 and an M1 Mac. These are the problems: 1. Out of the box, 240hz is not supported. You need to update to firmware 1008.x for the G95T (There is no firmware update for the g97t). For the absolute latest G95T firmware, 1010.x, you have to go to Samsung's Korean website. Note, you need a USB thumb drive to update the firmware, so don't add the backplate until you update the firmware 2. The monitor clicks and stretches. Because of the monitor 1000r curve, the plastic stretches and produces loud clicks when warming up or cooling down. The clicks are loud enough that people can hear them on conference calls. I read that newer models don't have the issue, so I'm going to request a replacement, hoping the replacement version doesn't have this issue. Otherwise, this is the perfect monitor. I've tested with Cyberpunk, MS Flight Sim, RDR2, No Man Sky, and GTA5. 240hz is impressive, and HDR makes things pop, and the curve plus the size gives an immersive experience you have to see to believe. Also, the Infinity Core, while gimmicky, adds a lovely blue hue to my wall. Unfortunately, if it's impossible to fix the clicking issue, I'll have to purchase something else and wait for the 2nd Gen G9.

    This monitor has been wonderful paired with an RTX 3080 using the provided Display port cable. The monitor arrived in a huge box and was extremely well packaged. Contained the monitor, 1 Display port cable and 1 HDMI cable. Assembly was simple, IF, you build the monitor while still in the box and supporting monitor foam. Although I haven't fully put this through its paces there doesn't appear to be any of the predecessor's defects or issues. I have the settings maxed from the OSD and don't get any flickering or vertical lines... Just a smooth and amazing image. If you have the money or want top of the line, in this size and form factor, I recommend this monitor!!
