    The bottom left clicking is a real thing, not a big deal though. The reason for 4 stars is the power cable. For some reason they decided to make this an angled plug, and with my current setup, it is angled the wrong direction. Another issue with the power cable is the length, for a monitor this size the power cable should be longer!

    This is NOT the G97T

    I ordered this as the G97 is supposed to be the updated 'business' version of the G95 with most of the issues corrected. I am hoping that perhaps they have ironed out the quality control issues, and this G95 will not be troublesome, even though it did arrive with one dead pixel. The chat support was utterly worthless on this issue.

    Personally, I bought this to replace a pair of wide screen monitors. No bevel, yeah! Its an amazing amount of screen real estate (5120x1440 or 32:9) and "most" games support it. Although, its not ideal for most FPS game. Its great for space sims or strategy games ... or working with multiple documents such as when coding. Color and such is great too, although it does "strain" your eyes a bit to adjust to the 50" and deep curve. After a few hours though, it feels more natural. for those curious, I get a full display with BG3 (see included pic) however Starfield adds black vertical bars on either side. (doesnt support 32:9 yet)

    Gorgeous display, HDR is passable. Perfect for gaming if you have a 30xx gpu to run it. Major Con: 240hz with G-Sync when you have multiple high refresh rate monitors does not work. Works fine when set to 120hz. Seems to be a known issue with Nvidia drivers so not really a knock on the display.

    It's an incredible product. I wish it was 4k but it's quite impressive also at 1440p (2k). The 32:9 ultrawide aspect ratio makes video games seem brand new again. It's amazing!

    It is really an amazing monitor that can serve as 2 or 3 monitors and has the best quality I’ve ever seen. My only issue was the monitor made me so motion sick that I had to return it. I gave this thing 5 stars because it really is a 5 star monitor. The motion sickness is my fault, I’m just thankful Best Buy has an amazing return policy!

    I see a lot of people saying this is limited to games alone! I was looking for something that I could use for work and I almost passed on the sale, because of that opinion. I have 3 different machines connected to this thing and I can't believe how well all of them look! The 240 Hz for my gaming desktop is a bit crazy, and the 120 Hz to match my MacBook Pro 16", as well as the basic 60 Hz for my work laptop. Even in PBP mode they all look great! If you can still find one of these for $999 or cheaper, I would grab it, as it has been an excellent experience so far! Oh I did have one issue with the MacBook Pro flickering a lot. I resolved that by changing the Display Port type to 1.2 for the input the Mac was connected to and it now runs perfectly smooth at a 120 Hz. Overall, fantastic display, the color and contrast were way better than I expected and I have no complaints at all about this thing.

    Fantastic video quality. Nice hdr. Colors pop and so does the bezel until it warms up. I thought I was having audio issues. Come to find out it's a known issue with these monitors. It's very cool looking though and as long as the popping subsides after it warms up, I can live with that. Went from a triple 27" surround vision setup to this. This definitely is an upgrade simply because there is no bezel hindering the image. Very easy on the eye for me. Everything looks very natural with this monitor. Would highly recommend.

    I received the monitor and the screen had a portion which is bleeding. I was a bit nervous about buying this monitor due to all of the poor reviews and warnings I had read online, but I decided to give it a shot since this was the new version. Well, sadly this monitor was having the same issues the other version was having. It’s so sad to see this. The monitor is simply STUNNING. Excellent curve on the screen vs the 1800R on the lower end version. The 1000R is the way to go. I’m probably going to try to get this replaced and hope for the best. As fas as the resolution, FPS AND response time, it works as advertised. It’s a really amazing monitor if Samsung can work out the quality control issues.
