Its a great monitor so far im loving it it is definitely a fun monitor...

It makes games much easier to see and being able to cloud game on nothing but it is a nice little plus side

Excellent product and service, we are using it and it's great

Outstanding gaming monitor highly recommend it will buy again in the future

Samsung has packed this monitor with tons of smart display features, plenty of inputs, a versatile stand that allows 90 degrees of rotation, and, most importantly, a high quality panel which combines the deep blacks and high contrast VA panels are known for with excellent refresh rates. The gentle curve of the screen takes a bit of getting used to, especially for productivity tasks, but after adjusting I find it’s great to use for everything from high frame rate gaming to 4 hour work sessions. I’ve been using this for about an 80/20 mix of home office work and gaming and it has excelled at both. The display is sharp, contrast is superb (not as good as OLED but outstanding for LCD), color rendition reasonably accurate, and the 1440p resolution keeps things clean and easy to read, even for legacy Windows apps which don’t always scale well on 4K or other high density displays. In games, the fast response time, high refresh rate, and support for variable refresh rates make for a very smooth experience. I’ve tried high FPS shooters like Halo Infinite and slower paced games like Uncharted and all of them have rendered superbly without tearing or ghosting. HDR worked reasonably well for games which supported it. VA panels don’t usually switch as fast as some other technologies, but Samsung has done a great job overcoming this. The coating on the display also does a good job controlling reflections, providing the full benefit of those nice deep blacks. I have windows behind me when using my PC and the reflections are very manageable. The monitor is also a very capable smart display, with built-in apps for YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and others, along with excellent wireless screen mirroring and superb Samsung DEX support. There’s even a built-in option to stream Xbox cloud games and directly connect a gamepad. The remote is easy to use and the built-in apps work fine with snappy responses, but I’ve found I prefer to just play content from the connected computer. Connectivity is extensive, with 2 HDMI ports, DisplayPort, headphone audio out, and an actual Ethernet jack. USB ports are provided both for connecting devices like keyboards and gamepads, and for connecting to a PC to act as a USB hub. In my experience, the main negative of this display is that it exhibits some flicker at lower refresh rates. Setting the rate to 120Hz completely resolves the flicker and provides a smoother experience, but not all devices are capable of these high rates in all modes. Depending on view angle, the very bottom of the display (say the bottom 10% of the task bar) also sometimes isn’t as evenly backlit as the rest. The other minor negative is the external power brick, but that’s really just a one time issue during setup. Overall this display combines incredible versatility and app support with a very solid display panel. If you want/need these features, it’s a great option. If all you want is a high quality panel with support for fast refresh rates and VRR, this will fit the bill but the extra features may be overkill. Either way, you should be pleased with the visuals. Pros: - Excellent sharp VA panel combines deep blacks and fast 1ms response time - Super for gaming, very good for productivity if you don’t mind the curve - Excellent stand enables easy adjustment and rotation - Plenty of inputs and support for high end HDMI features like VRR - Broad support for apps and screen mirroring - Works as a USB hub - Good remote and responsive UI Cons: - Some flicker at lower refresh rates - Backlight very even except very bottom 1-2% of screen depending on view angle - Smart display features might be overkill for some

Everything about my experience buying it online was amazing

I love this monitor! Would definitely recommend buying!

It’s a beautiful monitor and it’s honestly one of the best i’ve seen around this price tag. kudos to samsung!

I bought this monitor to be used as a secondary to my other 27" odyssey G7, so it was only used for general use and minimal media consumption. It worked great until six months later the screen went black, it flickered and tried to reconnect to my PC just to disconnect again a few seconds later. Tried a different power cord and display cables to no avail, so I returned it.

I bought this item as an open box before purchasing I spoke with Best buy they said I it has the same warranty as if you bought a new. Had an issue with the display port spoke with two separate agents both stated the same I would have to go to the store return the item and they would ship me a new. When I get to the store they said all they can do is refund me the money since this is an open box and they do not have another open box. Call Best buy again New agent said the same thing open box has the same warranty as a new. I advised her that is not true only way to have a warranty on an open box is if the store has the same item as an open box they will not replace it with a new.

Before I get into the meat of the review, one thing as a bit of a level-set here. First, I work in IT in the corporate world and have for over 15 years - so combined with gaming and PC building being a hobby of mine, I spend over 10 hours a day using screens of various types, sizes and shapes. While I'm not a graphic designer or artist that uses color accurate displays, I definitely know my way around a screen and what makes a good one. And this, my friends, this is a good one. First off, what you buy a screen for - the picture. Samsung gets this part spot on - a quality panel with great brightness, a high refresh rate and good viewing angles as well as deep, rich colors makes this a beauty to view. The "QHD" (2560x1440) resolution is the sweet spot in my mind for computer monitors in the 27-28" class - 1080p starts to look a bit grainy since you sit closer to a monitor than you would a TV, but 4K doesn't have as many benefits at this size since then the pixels get super small and most people would turn up the "scale" anyhow meaning you lose the benefits you're paying for. I'm rather ambivalent on the curve here - I think curve tends to help more on the ultra and super-ultra wide screens than more normal aspect ratios, but it doesn't hurt. There's also HDR, "Game" modes with adaptive refresh rates (FreeSync here, not GSync...officially, though I was able to get it to work "unofficially") and a ton of settings so you can tweak to your hearts content. The stand is sturdy and features a LOT of adjustability and you can VESA (wall or arm) mount the screen if you want, though note the weight as this isn't a light monitor. Connectivity is good with 2x HDMI and 1x full-sized DisplayPort. The monitor can also act as a hub if you connect the included USB cable from your computer to the monitor, splitting it into ethernet and 2 more USB-A ports. This is nice if you use a laptop, you can just plug in USB-A and HDMI and off you go. That said, in this day and age, it would have been nice to see a USB-C connector there instead so you could get power, display and data all over one cable to your laptop instead of needing three cables for those three types of signals, but it's not bad. The monitor actually does double duty as a TV as well with an included remote, built-in speakers and Samsung's smart TV software so you can stream from many internet video sources - Hulu, Netflix, Prime, and so on - right through the monitor without anything extra (it has built in Wi-Fi - and you can also connect external wired or Bluetooth speakers if you wish, though the built-in speakers don't sound bad - they're better than my laptop). This works really well and I can definitely see using this to watch videos/movies in my office. You can also do a split screen / picture in picture with the Samsung TV Plus or two inputs (it doesn't seem that you can do Hulu in a split screen with the built-in app...but I suppose if you have Hulu and you're using a computer attached, you could just create your own PiP with a small window). Technically, you can also use this monitor for light office work without even having a computer - it has a built-in web browser and you can browse to online document editing services like Microsoft 365 and Google Docs - but it's not the snappiest thing in the world. It's fine for making a super quick edit or (better) viewing a PowerPoint, but I wouldn't want to work on it for any sustained length of time. But hey - how many monitors can let you work without even HAVING a PC attached? (You do need some sort of keyboard / mouse attached via USB for that functionality). There are also LED lights at the bottom of the monitor - they aren't bright (more like accent lighting) but I like them and there are lots of options to configure them - and they default to "off" if you don't want them. All in all, this is an amazing monitor with great build quality, great features and a whole lot of flexibility and usability. It's not cheap, but in this case, you get what you pay for. Definitely recommended if you're in the market for a high-end 27" QHD.

came with a dead pixel kinda bummed because its pretty expensive for a gaming moniter

Never owned the original G7, but this monitor seems to have all its features with just more stuff. Arrived with no dead pixels, and have not those scan lines people mention. However the one review is right with the connection not always displaying, very weird but easy to deal with it. Worth it for sale price

Literally, crazy, monitor has usb hub built in, speakers built in

I would say that the monitor looks and feels super nice and is easy to set up. My only complaint is that I have a line of pixels that bug out and go from the bottom of the screen to the top. When I am playing competitive games, that has become a problem. Good product if no issues on hardware.

45 days of use and pixels were traveling from top to bottom

There is no flaw at all. The quality is awesome. Have TV option too. Can’t say no for this
