Samsung - UR55 Series 28" IPS 4K UHD Monitor

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.

Everything is just more than I expected. And I think it’s anti glare too even there’s a No in specifications. Just one more thing: if you want to use the Monitor Desk Mount make sure that you are buying the absolute Vesa Wall Mount “75mmx75mm”. DO NOT BUY the 100mmx100/75mmx75mm. It wil not fit the circle in the back of the monitor.

Spending $700 on 2 monitors was not the plan but after purchasing and returning cheap Lenovo monitors... I knew that this is not an area where I should compromise especially when I spend 7 hours a day staring at them for work. I have them set up on the Mount It! dual monitor stand and I see a lot of concerns about the vesa hardware issue. Honestly I just screwed them in as far as they would go without bending the mount or damaging the monitors and they are secured on even with a little gap. So the standard 75mm/100mm hardware worked for me. I added pictures.

I purchased this monitor for my Xbox One X. Gears 5, Forza Horizon 4 & Resident Evil 2 looks amazing in HDR. This monitor also supports FreeSync which is great. The picture quality is superb and is one of the few Samsung IPS panels out there. If you own a Xbox One X/PS4 Pro it’s a must buy.

I bought this as a gift for my husband as he has been, and will continue, to be teleworking due to the pandemic and could benefit from a new monitor to that would attach to both the laptop he uses from work and his personal computer (which he also uses for some work tasks). Between work and personal use he can be online for about 9 to 10 hours a day. For his work there is considerable less eye fatigue now and he can run both computers on the monitor at the same time in various configurations. He easily runs multiple windows for excel, word, outlook, teams, and zoom. For his personal use he loves that he can watch videos in 4k after work. Its 28 inches a a good size for him. For light gaming he has enabled freesync on the monitor and g-sync on his personal computer and it works. He says the trick to get it working with NVidia is to use the display port instead of the HDMI port. The monitor has a 60MHz refresh rate which is more than enough for what he does. It is an excellent monitor for the price and a picture of his home office setup is attached.

this monitor is amazing the only thing that is irritating is to switch sources if you turn your ps4 off for example it takes forever toneven just switch to the main souce if your computer is turned on. Other then that its amazing of anyone know how to fix that itnwould be super helpful

I have utterly no issues with this monitor. It's clear, nice, and gets the job done. I play games that are not graphically demanding and i play games that makes a 3080 RTX card cry out in pain and I've experience zero issues with my monitor. The HDMI cord it came with was bad. So I would buy a nicer one. However, every Samsung product i buy comes with a crappy HDMI cord so I wasn't surprised and I was prepared. No ghosting. I know it's 60 hz but seriously, it's a great monitor. I reviewed this 7 months after purchasing it to get the full effect of this product too

I really enjoy this monitor. It’s a good size and the resolution quality is really good. The only things I’m not crazy about are the stand, which just is kind of awkward, especially when you have a smaller desk like me, and the controls on the actual monitor itself. Overall it’s a great monitor, and I definitely recommend it.
