For being an open box in "excellent" condition, it is amazing. No cosmetic damage or dead pixels at all. The Monitor is clean, sharp and affordable (for a 1440p monitor). 144hz, and 1ms delay with Freesync, can't beat it!
Only con i have about this monitor is that it's not really adjustable, where ever you place it.. it's there, no tilt no raising or lowering, but besides that it's a great Gaming monitor for sure!

with some configuration and depending on what you like it will be great. i use this monitor with my xbox series s. it accepts 4k signal, so can do 4k, 60hz, with hdr. other choice is 1440p, 120hz, vvr, without hdr. both looks great to me. out of the box the picture is grainy so definitely play with the settings. overall i do love this monitor and would recommend this for xbox series s. if you don't mind 60hz, it does look good with the ps5 also.

It’s ok, the resolution and refresh rate are good but the colors could be better. I did some tweaking and got the colors to be as vibrant as they could, and even with HDR enabled it still felt bland. The base is huge and takes up a ton of desk space. The curve is very sharp and makes the monitor feel small.

This is five stars for the price. It’s not going to blow you away, but this is a fantastic monitor for PC and the new 4K consoles. As a note, there’s a software update on Samsung’s website that you must download and put on a usb drive to update it. After update it will allow 4K output on PS5, which the monitor Down scales down to 1440p, while many other monitors will only allow 1080p which will cause a blurry upscale issues at 1440p. The series X has native 1440p output. HDR is pretty useless, but you can’t expect good HDR at 300 bucks.

Pros: This monitor was a perfect for me because I wanted somthing for work but I also wanted a higher frame-rate and resolution in case I use it for gaming in the future.
Cons: Very difficult or zero flexibility - it seems impossible to adjust even though the instructions suggest it's possible. I had to wad up papers and prop it up to be the appropriate height an angle.

Colors are pleasing, appears slight Matt finish look without glare making it very easy on the eyes. The curve of the monitor definitely envelops and immerses you. Will definitely pair well with anyone playing with Xbox Series S/X or PS five variants, PC as well. High refresh rates with true 1440 P gaming resolution with indiscernible delay. You can understand why this gaming monitor is a top seller. Monitor menu easy to access and operate as well. Excellent product.

I was hesitant to get a curved monitor but I am glad I got this one! I'm also glad I went with the displayport model, though I had to buy a video card for it, it has been worth it.
Some other reviews were talking about how there were various problems with setup and/or use, but I haven't had any issues at all. I had been close to choosing another monitor but this one had the lower power usage.

Trash Power Button - Dim backlight

This is easily the worst power button ever created. The display is also not bright enough. Fortunately I bought this on sale for a good price but I will never buy any monitor from Samsung again.

Honestly way better than I expected, just got my gaming setup all together and needed a monitor for my Xbox One X. Didn’t want to spend over $500 so my friend recommended this, and it is literally perfect.
The display is absolutely beautiful and the response time is is INSANELY fast and I don’t suffer any screen tearing or lagging.
For just under $300 this is the most amazing monitor I have ever seen, and honestly they shouldn’t even be selling it for this low of a price!
100/10 YOU NEED THIS MONITOR!!!

Almost returned it. First time buying a monitor. Fresh out of the box there was some concerning bright lighting around moving videos and game action. Researched it for a few hours and could not come up with an answer to what it was. So I was pretty much set that I would be returning it. Changing settings didn’t fix anything, they made it mellow out a little but not a solution. But I also wanted to play WoW really bad that night. So I did. I don’t know if there is a break in period or what with a VA panel. But the next day the distracting and unacceptable issues that shouldn’t have been there were gone. I’m happy I kept it. Mostly play WoW so extreme graphics aren’t really necessary. 27” feels slightly large. But that’s probably because I am accustomed to a laptop screen. No issues running 100fps with my gtx 1070 and the monitor in freesync mode.

A very good monitor for the price! It is a really nice monitor compared to others near the same price. It's pretty thin and the curve isn't too strong to hinder you from viewing the screen a bit from the side. The one bad thing is that it is extremely difficult to assemble and unassemble when you need to move it. Overall a very good product from Samsung.

The overall quality of the monitor is great for the price. Although there is ONE issue where the monitor won't wake up after the computer goes into sleep mode, and that seems to be commonplace among these monitors. It is very annoying to deal with every time I use my computer, I have to make sure I shut off the monitor every time I step away from my desk.
