    Disgusted with Best Buy!

    Returned it last year and still haven’t received my refund. It’s been 10 months now and 30 calls with mangers and time spent!!! I try my best now not to go to Best Buy anymore unless I have to! At least 10 managers that has escalated my issue and say I’ll be refunded in 10 days. These huge companies are utterly disgusting.

    Good monitor - nice to have a dual monitor setup combined into one product. One drawback is that some programs aren't compatible with the screen resolution. Overall, good quality.

    No working 240hz as of right now

    There has been some driver updates to try and fix the display stream compression. What's going on is the monitor is to high resolution and framerate for the bandwidth of a displayport 1.4 connection. So Samsung used DSC display stream compression to shrink the size of data through the displayport cable. But they have not fixed it yet. So why release a product you can't use? No working drivers for 30 series and some 20 series GPUs as of 10-14-20.

    Worked…for about 6 months. A green pixelated line showed up and would not go away. I had to call Samsung since it was outside of the BB return period. Samsung is sitting on the warranty claim and won’t RMA or send a tech out in timely manner. I will not be buying from Samsung again.

    Fantastic monitor when it worked? it would go black and you can't use any of the monitor buttons till you unplug it. At first, I thought the computer was freezing but then I realized that it was just the monitor. I am not happy Bestbuy showed me the return price minus $65. I think the Monitor was overheating.
