I have been very fortunate as it seems to be a 50/50 chance that this monitor will ship out busted. Mine has worked like a charm in all things except HDR. HDR is defiently broken on this and should not be used. But gaming still looks great on it in Standard.

I absolutely hate having two monitors for all the windows I need and with two you have a large amount of calibration needed. This eliminates any need for setting up windows for two monitors. Vibrant color. Wonderful 1440 resolution. The only downside to it is that you need a good graphics card fo lr this monitor as well as display port or 2.1 hdmi on the newer cards.

Best monitor 2021

This is the best monitor I’ve I ever owned. I upgraded from a acre predator dual monitor setup. No going back.
My favorite feature is the PBP mode. Such a great use case for having work and personal computers side by side, or LAN coop with someone else!
My 1080TI can’t leverage the 240 hz, but that’s no big deal. The games I play can’t even reach that high, anyways. That just means I can upgrade my pc hardware in the future and become even more impressed.

I bought this nov 4th, it went on sale black friday. best buy said they would honor the price match but I have only been lied to a led in circles for three months now. every time the chat agent says it is a technical glitch. don't worry, you will receive an email in 48 hours. I wont be buying anything from best buy until I get the money.

Better than a dual setup.

It's great for productivity. I use multiple programs at once and being able to have them all open and on the same screen is great. I had two 24" monitors and moving to this is definitely better. I love having my main program right in the middle, which I couldn't do with the dual monitor setup. The one thing I don't like is when the computer goes to sleep and then turn it back on the monitor begins flickering. I have to unplug the HDMI cable and plug it back in.

Great looking monitor for SDR but HDR is basically completely broken. It is currently unclear whether this is a software or hardware issue but it has been reported by many people.

Grest monitor for what it offers. Unfortunately this monitor does have its issues with GPUs. Hopefully Samsung will send out a patch to fix it all.

This screen is amazing. Purchased mainly as an option to use X-Plane while not using VR, I was first hit with the task of adjusting the view within X-Plane to reduce a stretched out look and it now looks wonderful. I was worried at initial start up that I made a big mistake purchase. A little software tweak later and wow! Crisis averted.

The monito itself is great with a few draw backs that prevents it from hitting 4 or 5 stars. The stand could have been designed differently to take less room. Also when in full screen, the screen will glitch to a dark screen, would flicker between two displays, and also has portions of the left screen boarder flicker.

While this monitor does have some unfortunate problems given the price tag, it has been the single best upgrade I've made since getting into PC gaming ~10 years ago and now classic aspect ratios are dead to me. Seriously, they feel almost like old school 4:3 CRTs, I can never go back.

Great Monitor with some Flaws

Got this monitor to get rid of the two I had for work and games. This monitor is amazing for work as it has enough screen room to just use it as two 27in monitors. There is some downsides to this monitor
cons: 1st is the stand for this monitor is really bad. This stand makes the screen wobble with the siltiest touch and can get quite annoying and noticeable. The fact to replace it is insane as a vesta stand for it is over $300 bucks.
2nd: When playing games I notice most that on the edges of the screen it will make things look closer then it is. For example in warzone if you see a player running from the side of your screen they will look way closer and when you turn towards them you will notice they were not as close as it looks. Some may not mind this and some may.
I returned mine as the stand and the close edge issue was a kill for me. I got this at $1400 but not going to pay another $300 to get rid of the wobble issue with the stand.
