I’m a fan of small, high resolution monitors because I have an eye for picking out pixels and jaggies from displays, so having a high DPI is fairly important to me. This 1440P monitor works out great for me at 27 inches because the DPI is fairly high and surpasses what is considered to be “retina” where you can’t pick out the individual pixels at its highest resolution.
This is my first monitor that is over 72 hertz. I know that’s kind of odd to some gamers out there, but I buy monitors for production work where over 72 hertz is a luxury at UHD and higher resolutions. WOW. I’m sold at high refresh monitors. When a monitor is at high resolution with high refresh rates, you can’t pick out the various stuttering that might happen to 60Hz monitors. It’s like your computer is running at super speed all the time. I’m never going back to slow monitors again.
Now, one thing that I’m still not 100% on is the curved part. In games, this is great. It’s immersive and fun to be able to see out of the corner of your eye all of the various things that could be spraying bullets at you. But for production… I don’t think it’s really the right match at this smaller size. I always felt like my Premiere Pro timeline was folding in on itself. You just have to try it to understand what I’m talking about. I’m used to using 4K/5K 40-43-inch flat monitors so not having a flat display for that type of work throws me off.
I’m not sold on the built in software. I would have preferred that it was a Google ecosystem product vs the internal version of software that Samsung uses.
My favorite part of this monitor was unexpected. As a curved monitor, I thought I’d have to say goodbye to my monitor mounts. I have rolling monitor mounts in my studio that I wheel from station to station based on my need. I replaced a very heavy 42” monitor with this super light 27” monitor. With the monitor comes mounts for VESA mounting! (see pictures) I was so stoked. It works out pretty well, and I can permamount my old monitor to the wall and wheel around the 27” Samsung wherever I need it!
I’m not a fan of having to turn the monitor on manually when connected via DisplayPort. Huh? My other monitors go to sleep when they don’t have a signal. I get that older versions of DisplayPort don’t have CEC but this is 2023; Please turn on when you sense a signal, Monitor! Second thing I don’t really like is how big the power supply is with the monitor. For how absolutely thick this monitor is, why is the power supply so huge as well? Third thing is the old style USB 3.0 B connection from the computer. Wow, this is 2023. Make it C please, make it C.
All in all, this is a great monitor. Great for games, refresh rate is WOW, productivity is hmm, and curved for me is /shrug.

I have never been a fan of curved monitors however decided to try out this monitor after hearing so many good things about the Odyssey. I am glad that I gave this monitor a chance as I have been very impressed with the quality of the product and the amount of options this monitor has. The monitor was shipped with easy setup that provides both DisplayPort and USB to PC cables. It does NOT provide an HDMI cable however with the 8k DP cable an HDMI cable is not really needed. Out of the box it provides an option to use a stand of wall mount to setup your monitor which was a really nice touch. The software setup was easy to use and provide a nice first time walkthrough for apps and internet setup. There are a ton of apps available for this monitor along with a nice "Game Mode" feature. The only downside is being unable to uninstall most of the unused apps that come pre-installed. However there is a large app storage space so at least there is room for downloading / installing additional apps that you use. The game mode feature is very nice , allows for great customization on how you wish the play particular games. I believe the best feature is not having to turn on your computer to just surf YouTube or play Spodify music. I have not notice any picture difference between this curve monitor and my other 27in monitor that is not curve. Overall the picture looks great and does not have any dead pixels. I like how the speakers sound on this monitor however wish it was facing front of monitor instead of downward against the desk. Overall, I strongly recommend this monitor for all the features and ease of use it provides.

Picture quality and screen refresh rate are really good.
The top of the screen panel started falling out of the frame after only four months of sitting on a desktop.

Hit and miss with monitor quality. First one had patched of dead pixels. Returned and swapped warranty. Second one had a missing piece of plastic trim. Wasn’t worth the hassle of dealing with returning again. Hopefully my insurance is still valid with the missing trim.
If you get a good one, it’s an amazing monitor

I’m a ps5 user and I think it’s safe to say that the 60 and 120hz on this monitor is not the best. The 60hz improves a little with game motion on alone (unless using deblur or BFI which adds input lag) and the 120hz gets bad blur/flickering during faster scenes. I wish there was possibly a firmware update to atleast improve the motion handling. Other than that, the picture quality and everything else is pretty good.

This monitor exceeded my expectations. Super smooth refresh, hdr and contrast are phenomenal. Not a big fan of the fact that it's a SMART device. Considering it's a monitor attached to a computer, there is absolutely no consumer need or reason for SMART technology, but maybe that's just my opinion. Still an amazing monitor.

Absolutely stunning monitor. The picture quality and exceptional and there is no visual input lag or screen tear at all. Is it pricey? Yes but bottom line it is completely worth it.

Ratio and curve are perfect for me, and the quality is great. I would have preferred this as a "dumb" monitor rather than a smart one, as I have to use the remote to switch between sources.

GREAT monitor. I've had 0 issues in the more than 2 years that I've had it. Only con is that it takes a second to switch over to pc mode after I start up, but that's a very minimal complaint.

Overall pretty good monitor. Bought this cuz of price compared to other monitors in the same categories + features. Personally don’t use the remote very much or watch tv on it. I’m a gamer. And having the ability to play at 240 fps is awesome. (If you don’t have a monitor with the correct hz panel then no matter how strong your pc is you will be stuck at monitor standard) 240 fps in competitive shooters like csgo/valorant/call of duty is like a completely different game.
