First 4K monitor - sorta biased
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased a monitor solely for the purpose of needing more screen space to work/study from home during the whole quarantine thing. Went back and forth between this and the LG ultra wide 34”. Ended up deciding on this because price was similar and would like to use the monitor for gaming purposes as well. Super easy to assemble and quality is superb. I have it connected to my MacBook Pro 13” w/ Touch Bar that was released in mid-2017. Using a usb-c to HDMI cord I purchased from amazon. Only downside is no speakers on the monitor, so connecting via the usb-c to HDMI cord actually disabled the volume on your MacBook Pro.

If you have a Mac, read this (one flaw)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before I get into the problem with this display, I have to first say it’s the best monitor I’ve ever owned. 4K looks incredible on 28”. It looks super premium and matches well with my Mac in my workspace. - I had limited desk space and I prefer this hands down over having two different 1080p screens in the small area. With that said, one major issue I had with this monitor is something I’m seeing repeated a lot. And that’s the issue with the screen going black with working with a Mac. I own a 2019 16” MacBook Pro, and my job actually sent me the same exact Mac to be my work computer. I have a multi port adapter I use for both Macs which gives me access to a keyboard and mouse and to the monitor by flipping it from one MacBook to the other. I’ve switched the plug ins a few times a day since I’ve owned this monitor. I got hit with the black screen issue recently, but I’ve found a way to “fix” the issue that is really odd and points more towards a Mac issue itself. - To fix it, I have to make sure the laptop is plugged into a power source before connecting the external monitor -and- even if I do that, when I switch computers I have to unplug the hdmi cable and plug it back in (Mac side not from back). I think the Mac does something where it alters it’s resolution or refresh rate when not plugged into a charger and the monitor kicks it off of the page. I would still rate this monitor 5 stars, but the part of this issue that the monitor owns is that it doesn’t have a very...um... intuitive way to switch between which hdmi port is being used. No matter what you set it to; it just jumps off of the page based on what gave the last input. Don’t expect to comfortably use two different computers at the same time on it. But with those very annoying issues out of the way, I still feel like this is a great buy especially for the sale price. You will not regret how it looks

Color and Sharpness near Mac Studio Monitor level
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own a mac mini and have a mac studio display that cost $1600, love it but I needed a 2nd monitor and wasn't paying another $1600. I tried two different LG monitors, but didn't like the color and sharpness, too far off the studio display, didn't think I would find a reasonably priced option until I found this one on sale from $350 down to $230 and thought I'd try it out. Picture quality is great! Very close to the apple studio display. Of course you don't get all the bells and whistles, but most of us don't need them. I changed the brightness down to level 10 and increased the blue color, and the closeness it has to the studio display is amazing! I went to buy two more for my laptop and my wife and found that the price went down another $30 to $199. That's a steal! Even at $350, it is well worth it!

Almost Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was love at first sight, and after sitting in front of them for 10 hours a day for the past few weeks, I'm very happy with my purchase. So here are the pros - size and 4K resolution are standouts; the detail, color quality, brightness, are wonderful. Since I spend most of my time staring at text (documents, code, email, slack) the eyestrain reduction has been very welcome (see images - the slight tint in color is because of this). I was fortunate to be able to get two of them to setup an office environment at home, and at this time I'd say they are almost perfect. So the only thing I can say is that the controls (its a direction switch at the base of the screen below the Samsung logo) can be a bit finicky when you are just starting to use it. Things like turning them off can be a bit tricky if you have no inputs, as the monitors auto detect sources and can present options based on that. But once you figure that out, its simple to use. That really the only thing I've found and that me nitpicking. One important lesson I've learned thought is not so much about the monitor, but about using 4K, especially multiple 4K monitors on an older laptop: You need an appropriate 4K Dock to push 4K content to all devices without issue. I have two laptops - one for work (a 2019 Dell Precision 7730 with Xeon processor) and my personal (a 2015 HP Omen 17t-W200 with Core i7 and and UHD screen) that I've connect the monitors to and while the newer Dell can push 4K to both monitors without any issue, my HP started stuttering and lagging just connecting one. After some checks, I found that the integrated graphics cards needed to be configured to use my NVIDIA card as primary or offload some of the processing to the Dock. I purchased the WAVLINK USB-C Dual 4K universal docking station (Model UG69PD2) with E-mark chip and it supported all three screens at 4K@ 60Hz from both devices without issues. It also supports Mac and has a built in 100W power to the laptop and devices (if your device supports it). If you are having issues with refresh of you purchase this monitor, I highly getting a dock. It'll provide a lot of flexibility and expandability for you.

Vibrant Colors!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Normally I wouldn't purchase a computer monitor without seeing it in action first but I was looking for a 4K monitor to work with my Mac Mini M1 I found this one. I did my research reading reviews on different websites and watching YouTube videos for several days and then made the purchase. I was using a HP QHD 32" with my Windows PC and very happy with it but with for my Mac Mini I wanted 4K. Since my desk is only 48" wide and glass I had to figure out how to fit two monitors and I was successful. I am very happy with the Samsung UR55, it was so easy to assemble and was ready to connect to the Mac in minutes. The height wasn't a problem for me because I already had monitor risers for both of them and the angle was also perfect for me. The colors in the UR55 monitor is outstanding and vibrant. I do have 4k HDMI and Display port cables but so far I haven't hooked them up. I will probably connect the monitor to my Mac via Display port so free up the HDMI on the Mac (it only has 2 HDMI ports). The pictures below is connected with the HDMI provided with the monitor. As you can see it looks great with clear details. The quality is great and at a reasonable price. The colors are amazing but you can make adjustment if desired. I was amazed at how light the monitor (12 lbs) is since my 32" is 20 lbs. It might have a 28" screen but it is only 25" wide. Also impressive the response time is 4 milliseconds while others are 5 milliseconds and more expensive. The Refresh Rate 60Hz which is impressive. No buyers regret on this purchase and I would recommend this 4K monitor to a friend or anyone that ask me about it.

Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Display is good, no issues w that and the size is perfect. The stand is a little ugly and takes up a lot of space but you can just get something from Amazon to hang it on the wall. Overall, 10/10 purchase

THE best monitor I’ve ever owned
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m super finicky when it comes to monitors. Backlight bleed, stuck pixels, ips glow, refresh rate, response time, Gsync, Freesync, IPS, VA, TN, CRT! Bleh bleh bleh.. This is by far the best Monitor I’ve ever owned! I’m a gamer but a graphics snob more than anything.. Pros: The colors are top notch, the IPs glow is the lowest I’ve ever seen on a monitor, backlight bleed is almost non existent, 4K and 28inch makes ppi of 160+! the picture super sharp, quality control seems to be in check! No stuck or dead pixels on mine, Freesync works great with Nvidia even though it doesn’t have compatible sticker, the response time is great! At 60hz I get very minimal ghosting which is insane! Idk how Samsung did it, and HDR isn’t bad at all! Not amazing but Bright enough. Cons: Stand isn’t great, You can only tilt. That’s it! But I got a monitor arm. I LOVE THIS MONITOR!!!!!

Working from home got an upgrade!!! A++
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from a curved Samsung that was only FHD. Needed a better resolution for business apps. I was tired of dragging windows from my surface pro 6 (which has a 2k resolution) onto a regular HD screen. Lose a ton of space and apps are huge. Sold that and got this. I was worried I’d miss the curved screen but after a couple minutes with this I didn’t care. OMG the colors are super rich, I have all the real estate I need, and now I don’t even need to use both Surface Pro and a monitor. I just use the monitor! I was tempted to go for a lower priced model but Samsung has amazing screens and are generally very reliable. Huge FYI... make sure you have the right mini display port connection if your laptop uses one. I had 2 that could only carry a 4K signal at 30hz. Had to get one that supports 60hz. HZ is basically refresh rate. Anything below 60 and you’ll get a massive headache. Bottom line...WORTH EVERY PENNY.

Q: Questionis this monitor VESA Mount compatible?
Asked by saimike.
- A:Answer I am having a very hard time finding mounts that are compatible with their 75mm setup in the back. There is a ridge that is blocking both of my mounts at home. So it would seem that you would need a mounting that is 75mm ONLY, and not 75mm and 100mm like most mounting brackets are. This is a poor VESA design on Samsung's part.

Q: QuestionDoes the monitor tilt. I don't see how it would and I fear breaking the stand by forcing it. The paperwork that came with it shows a diagram that it tilts, but it does not show you how to tilt it.
Asked by Roxy.
- A:Answer I had the same problem! I kept looking at the manual and looking online for documentation or videos. I finally figured it out just by trying to tilt it from different points. It does tilt, and it hinges right where the stand attaches to the monitor. I think the best way to tilt it is to put one hand on top and one hand on bottom, both in the center, and push from the bottom. Hope this helps!

Q: Questiondoes this monitor come with an hdmi 2.0 port and is it going to run at 4k 60fps?
Asked by Nick.
- A:Answer Yep it is a hdmi 2.0, it has 2 of them. It also has a displayport 1.2. It comes with a HDMI cable that is high speed and able to do 4k 60hz. I run my pc at 12bit 422 hdr on 4k 60 hz, and my play station pro runs at 10 bit 420 4k 60hz i believe. It wont do 12bit 444 or 12 bit RGB full, on my computer, which I think is a limit of HDMI 2, I could be wrong though. I dont have a DP cable to try that. It might also be because I have amd freesync enabled, I did no try with it off.

Q: QuestionCould you guys share your recommendations for display settings? I have the monitor set up and would like to test out some different views. Currently connected to a 2017 MB Pro 15".
Asked by SJ.
- A:Answer In the beginning when I hooked up to the MacMini, it was slightly blurry, so I had to make some adjustments. This is my setting with the 2018 MacMini (and PC), and it is clear -- so I hope this helps make the fonts better and more readable. There is a few points of caution on the Mac (settings) that I found made the screen very blurry that I have not found work-around, so I had to turn these off.. First, in the System Preferences > Display > I had to uncheck the "High Dynamic Range" box because it seems to make fonts blurry. Second, Under "Resolution" I am picking the second from the left (Larger text), and it was 'clear', any smaller text is a bit too small for me to read. Mac Display Setting LU28R55: Display: Resolution: Scaled (Second from Left) -- i.e., second largest text (not Default) HDR Button: OFF Samsung Magic Bright (mode) Picture (Custom) Brightness 51 Contrast 75 Sharpness 60 Color RED 50, Green 50, Blue 50, Color Tone Normal, Gamma mode 3 Magic Upscale OFF Eye Saver mode off Game mode OFF Response Time Standard Screen Ratio Auto My Calibration report says: (2.2% + 10%) Result 2.18 Grey scale calibration Delta E < 5.0 Result Delta Emax 1.68 PIP/PBP mode: OFF Display port V 1.2 HDMI Mode 2.0 Freesync off Eco Saving Plus off SYSTEM (TAB) : PC/AV Mode: Display Port AV HDMI 1 (PC) <<< where Mac is plugged into HDMI 2 (PC) Information TAB: HDMI 1 3840 x 2160 135.0 kHz 60Hz It is like 90% perfect, although if you have eagle eyes and likes even smaller fonts or HDR settings turned on the Mac, this may not be a perfect solution, but at least you won't be reading blurry stuff. Maybe someone will have better answers soon, or Samsung can release an thumb drive update to improve the firmware... That is what I am hoping, because there are certainly nagging issues if you pick either the smallest 3 text settings, and/or check that HDR Box. For the record, I have the MacMini hooked up to the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the same time in dual screen mode, and I have no font issues on the Thunderbolt display at all. So, I think yes, there is room for improvement for Samsung, and they should definitely think about doing a firmware update for Mac Users.

Q: QuestionDoes this monitor play sound if connected to a laptop via HDMI?
Asked by Great.
- A:Answer No it will not. No speakers on the monitor itself. You would have to have the audio coming form the laptop itself in the SOund Settings.
Answered by ErzaScralet
Q: QuestionAny good for gaming?
Asked by Greg.
- A:Answer In my opinion it's good for my needs as I don't do too much competitive gaming and play on my PS4 Pro as the panel's max refresh rate is 60 Hz. If you do competitive gaming and need that edge, look for high refresh rate monitors. I mostly bought it for the the 4K HDR and the fact that Samsung finally made an IPS monitor. Also the Freesync support is a plus for PC players who use AMD GPUs or even Nvidia GPUs but you'll need to use the Diplayport connection for Nvidia cards.
Answered by Marvin
Q: QuestionCan this monitor play HDCP 2.2 protected content such as Netflix 4K content?
Asked by David.
- A:Answer Yes it does, I play 4K (with HDR Support) Netflix on my PS4 Pro through the HDMI 2.0 port that's on the back.
