Customer Ratings & Reviews

Quality control is atrocious. I received the monitor, which was packaged well, but when I took it out of the box and turned it on, the screen was apparently damaged, so it was sent out as a serviceable item.

This thing is a beast — in the best way possible. The 43" screen makes everything feel cinematic, whether I’m gaming, streaming, or working. The 4K resolution is razor-sharp, and the HDR600 brings out deep blacks and vivid colors. It’s bright, fast, and surprisingly immersive for a flat panel. As a gamer, the 144Hz refresh rate + 1ms response time with FreeSync Premium Pro makes everything buttery smooth. No screen tearing, no lag — just flawless performance. It also works great as a productivity screen — I can run 3–4 windows side by side like a boss. It’s basically a TV-sized monitor with smart TV features built in (Samsung Tizen OS), so I can watch Netflix or YouTube without even turning on my PC. Super convenient. Minor downside: it’s big — like really big — so make sure your desk can handle it. Also, the remote is handy, but the UI can feel sluggish sometimes. Bottom line: if you want one screen to rule them all — gaming, work, movies — this monitor delivers. Pricey, yes. Worth it? 100%.

This thing is huge. Great picture good for streaming TV and movies, good for games where screen real estate is desirable. I do have to wear my glasses to see to the edges :-) . Excellent refresh rate for shooters or heavy duty simulators like DCS. Probably the only downside that’s not really a downside is it does require some calibration and configuration to get it to look how you want it to look. It actually took me a couple days of tweaking before I got it where I wanted it.

This is a monitor I am using for my PC. The settings listed require utilizing the settings on the Nvidia control panel. I was going to return after having it for almost 4 weeks. It is as people say, right out of the box it is not so good. It takes calibrating it for it to really shine. But I can say after calibrating it to what I think is a peak for this monitor, it can replicate OLED. There is blooming that occurs, but it’s not very noticeable in the long run considering no risk of burn in like an OLED. The quality of the screen is top notch and the local dimming is what helps create an OLED effect with these settings. I believe that you need to make sure you updated the firmware to version 1603 through the Samsung website. That version seems to not be available through the TV settings. The steps to update it are available on the site. I have a DisplayPort 2.1 cable that can do up to 16k resolution. Bought it on EBay. You also must make sure you play at 120hz as it completely minimizes the ghosting issues that were ultimately going to lead to me returning it. These pictures show how the screen is now. I will list my settings below: TV Game Settings: Game Mode: On Response Time: Faster Dynamic Black Equalizer: 0 HDR: Off Expert Settings: Brightness: 5 Contrast: 0 Sharpness: 9 Color: 30 Tint: 0 Local Dimming: High Contrast Enhancer: High Color Tone: Standard White Balance: No changes Gamma 2.2 Shadow Detail: -5 Color Space: Custom (From Red to Magenta set each value of RGB to 50) VRR Control: On NVIDIA Color Settings: Brightness: 32 Contrast: 0 Gamma: 1.05 Digital Vibrance: 48 Hue: 0 In my NVIDIA 3D Settings, I set everything to off except: Low Latency Mode: Ultra Max Frame Rate: 117 G-Sync: On (w/ windowed and fullscreen on and allow settings for this monitor set to on as well) MFAA: On OpenGL GDI compatibility: Prefer compatibility Shader cache size: 10gb Negative LOD Bias: Clamp Texture Filtering - Quality: High Performance

The Displayport stopped working after one day. Good thing it has two HDMI ports. I bought a 4K HDMI auto switch to compensate for the faulty DP. A faulty DP may be a common issue with this model according to other reviews. Samsung QC missed this one. Other than the bad DP the picture quality is very good and the refresh rate really makes a difference. Also the operations manual doesn't give you instructions on how the remote works. Had to figure out that holding the ok button will bring up the settings menu. The remote doesn't have a dedicated menu button.

Read the reviews, Check the specs. Know what you're buying before hand and make sure you only buy this 43" SmartMonitor when its ~on-sale~ On-sale, This monitor is amazing for its price, I picked mine up for 500$ during Black Friday sales and it has been great both as a Gaming Monitor and a SmartTV equivalent. Despite being a VA panel, The ghosting effect from using a VA panel is actually surprisingly tolerable and isn't really too bad at all until you come down to 60fps or lower in games. Contrast and Colors are great, Movies look awesome on the monitor, HDR honestly is really not that bad in my room most the time, And for the price I can't complain. Local dimming is sort-of lackluster but I like having it on more than not, It isn't that noticeable most the time when gaming but I see no reason why they couldn't add roughly twice the individual backlight diodes as they probably would hardly add to cost at all. Some drawn(cartoon-like) shows such as Rick & Morty sometimes it seems like certain pixels have a hard time keeping up in certain types of frames within very specific scenes and these sets of pixels seem to lag behind the rest, Almost exclusively when the specific scene doesn't have many frames to display. -For example with Rick & Morty, There are scenes where Rick and/or Morty may walk from one edge of the screen to the other and the animators only "drew" a handful of frames to animate them walking to the other side of the screen, And the low number of drawn frames seem to potentially "confuse" certain pixel groups on where they should be relative to the rest of the screen? The monitor has a metric ton of cool features. The Smart functions work great and are easy to navigate and are reasonably/usably responsive. The remote also has a rechargeable built in battery that uses USB-C and is a nice & simple no frills use remote. Certain display modes or changes to the data sent to the monitor had caused the monitor to glitch out before sometimes depending on what the video data and resolution being transferred was but there may have been a software update that fixed this issue? Its been working great for several weeks now. At 500$, It was worth every dime. I don't think any of the issues are nearly as big a problem in 2023 than they may have been before. I really hope that Samsung continues to improve on this monitor as they are extremely close to having an unbelievably great monitor that bridges the gap between Monitor and TV and if they can do this and lower the regular price to compete with other large screen High Refresh Rate monitors while still providing SmartTV functionality, I think Samsung will really hit a niche that would be very difficult to fill or compete within.

It’s a perfect investment for work, play, and everything in between.

Honestly, I would not rate this 5 stars at the regular retail price. It has it's shortcomings and I would expect more for nearly $1000, but at the current discount to $499 - or even better, the open box deal I got for even less, this is a fantastic monitor. I bought it as a replacement for my failing 34" curved ultra-wide, and retaining similar pixel density while also significantly increasing my screen working area has been a big upgrade for me. It is bright, responsive, and provides a nice sharp image. While I am not a fan of the 'smart TV' features and popup that comes up when I power it on, it works great on both counts. It's not perfect and does not match OLED performance, but it should also have zero burn-in risk that using an OLED for a PC might induce. I highly recommend it at the discounted price if you just want something 4k that is bigger for your PC - whether you use it exclusively for productive pursuits or gaming.

Super crisp image and keeps up with high end PS5 Pro graphics without missing a beat, no screen tearing, or lag. It is the perfect size for a smaller bedroom/office/man cave gaming. Even though it is a Monitor, it comes with built in features that make it almost a hybrid Smart TV/Monitor.

I got one of these open box for $400 and another for $300. For the price point at the value is nuts. I am a software developer, and because of the true RGB subpixels, this is an awesome all-day driver. This is one of the only screens I have EVER found that doesn't hurt my eyes after all day use. I used this next to a 55 inch samsung TV crystal UHD and this won easily. I also game and this screen is plenty fast at 144hz unless for all but the most discerning fps competitve gamers. I understand that some of the early models had a different panel under a different SKU that was laggier, but this isn't (shouldn't be) that. My first open box screen was missing a screw to the mount that I never bothered tracking down, but for the price -- no worries.

Phenomenal screen. Please use the right cable and understand the size of this thing. If you are sitting at a small desk and want to use this, you will be using your neck a lot to take it all in and may burn your eyes a bit. I had to push it farther back in order to properly view it's majesty. I've fiddled with the options a lot already, and I think I'm not nearly done. Don't believe the hate reviews. I have no regrets with this purchase and will gladly mess with the advanced settings to get exactly what I want. The Odyssey Rules! oh this was for the 43 inch G7 by the way... I know how they mix up reviews here.

The monitor is over all a good monitor. I did not expect it to try and function like a TV. It's cool that it has wired ethernet, & wifi so I can stream netflix on it. My PC is however also connected to it which can stream Netflix. I just use it as a monitor for two different computers. Only thing I find annoying is changing inputs. I either have to talk to the remote to change inputs or go into settings, inputs & then select HDMI or Display Port. Would of rather have a dedicated input button on the remote.

This 43" monitor is replacing my 30" Asus that has started bleeding through the edges of the screen after many years of use. I like the increased size but it's taking a bit of getting used to. It doesn't have the ability to be moved up and down with the included stand. It's okay but if anything is in front of it on my desk, the bottom of the screen is blocked. And that is where most of the OS menus are launched. The monitor has ability to be connected to internet directly and it includes free television content that can be streamed with the included Samsung app. Streaming apps can be installed directly onto the monitor. It has more smart functions to it than any other monitor I've owned. It has plenty of connections in the back (hdmi and DP included - and it can connect to devices wirelessly. I connected a computer wirelessly and it may work for streaming content, but there is too much lag to use that way as a computer monitor. I struggled clicking buttons and selecting text etc - the lag was too prominent to move cursers accurately. I reverted to cables. The monitor is on the very back of my desk and I have a pull out keyboard slide, so I sit back about 3.5 ft from the monitor. The monitor defaults to a 3x zoom - that made video sort of jerky motion and lost some of the benefit of being able to work in multiple apps at once. After resizing things, I see text fine and had no quality issues you sometimes see with televisions displaying mushy text. Everything is crisp. I am recommending the unit with reservations. I feel like it's a good value but I don't trust this unit to last. It appears to control its digital signal on screen as multiple smaller squares. If I were to guess, there may be about 30 smaller frames within the entire monitor surface. Those separate, in-frame squares flash from time to time - occasionally 2 or 3 will flash at once. And then sometimes the entire screen blacks out momentarily which causes all content to pause for a half a second until the screen returns. I tried to locate the cause on the Samsung site but haven't found a fix. The Asus was easy to use - just plug and go. This one takes some work to set up - I'm not using it to game so I turned those features off. I still have the issue. I may have a faulty unit, or there may be some minimum computer needed to push the unit. I feel like unit has available settings that the monitor doesn't have sufficient computing power to push. It's possible it needs a heftier graphics card on a computer - mine has an onboard graphics card. Another item is that with all the features come complication. The monitor blurs the line between a smart tv and a monitor. It has more settings than I have time to fidget with - I've been changing things for a few hours just to get the flashing to stop - unsuccessfully. The application that runs all this is fairly clunky to use. It is not intuitive and the remote should have more buttons. I think it requires the remote to switch between onboard TV streaming to using a computer input as a source. When using it, it is no easy feat to switch between TV mode and to select the DP connection as source. Every other device I've used has made this easier. How Samsung made this so unintuitive is surprising to me. There are likely easier ways to navigate, but nothing is pointing to me to it and this thing has a mini computer running the streaming service - so they could have added a get started menu. The help guide is hard to use also - when it instructs how to try to correct things, it is VERY generic so you have to research elsewhere how to change settings. I feel like I might figure out settings that work, but it may be months to find them.

Ghosting around the edges can really take the shine off fast-paced content, especially in gaming or when trading windows move rapidly. And yeah, with a flat 43-inch panel, peripheral visibility definitely suffers—your neck ends up doing way more work than it should. The $550 mark might make sense for the Neo G7 if someone’s drawn to its 4K resolution and Smart TV features, but at full retail? You’re wise to be cautious.

This is probaly one of the more mixed reviews I have had on a monitor. On one hand the picture quality and features of this display are far above most other $500 monitors and tvs. Your probaly not going to find a tv with mini led backlighting , vrr , 144hz , hdmi 2.1 and amd freesync at this pricerange. Plus the 43 inch size makes this far more immersive than most other gaming monitors. I have no trouble seeing the whole screen from my viewing distance. However samsungs decision to go with a va panel really holds this display back. The black smear on this display is very obvious. Especially when scrolling down with white text and a black background. While this is a drawback of va panels and not this display itself , I really think that considering this panel is being marketed as a premium pc display , having an ips panel on this should not have been too difficult. Even if the cost of this monitor would have to go up by 100 to 200 bucks it would have been worth it. The hdr on this display is also pretty lackluster. It's hard for me to recommend using it. One postive of this display tho is the black levels. With some setting changes you can get pretty good blacks however at the cost of severe black crush. There also is some noticeable blooming on the display , however its at a level thats acceptable. If you mostly use your computer for entertainment I think the display is fine. However if you plan to use this monitor for work I would find something else. My only real other complaint is the remote is pretty bad. Missed and duplicated inputs are pretty common. Its not like samsung couldn't've put a better remote in the box. I paired my solar cell remote I got from my q60a tv a few years ago and ive had no issues whatsoever.

Its solid for the sale price of $500.00. Set up didnt take as long as online reviews indicate, but yes, since it functions as a smart monitor, expect updates and connection setups. But setup was intiuitive and easy. Theres some dimming issues noticable when not in game when comparing edges to center- probably correctable in a setting, but not too big of deal. As a primary 4k gaming panel, its hard to compete with a $500.00 price point at 43".

Huge screen makes the game you are playing so immersive also comes with remote for media I was watching a movie at 4k and it blew me away with how real and alive everything looked .

The monitor has great color and contrast but is obviously a TV in a monitor case. It does have some slight ghosting but more noticable is the halo effect in high contrast areas such as white text on a black background. This is mostly due to the overall size vs the amount of lights available for the local dimming array. Honestly these issues haven't negatively affected any gameplay. I play cyberpunk 2077, destiny 2, and FFXIV regularly and have enjoyed every experience on this great screen.
