SAMSUNG 24-Inch CRG5 144Hz Curved Gaming Monitor (LC24RG50FQNXZA) – Computer Monitor, 1920 x 1080p Resolution, 4ms Response, FreeSync, Game Mode, HDMI

Perfect for casual gaming and videos

I purchased this for approximately $180 as an Amazon Warehouse/Refurbished deal, with Like New condition, and Im happy with my purchase. The parcel came in a timely manner, and was as described - I even had the delightful privilege of peeling off the plastic that comes with new electronics. I bought this to use as an additional monitor. My desktop already has what I call my gaming monitor, which is a 144hz TN panel, which also has freesync. Its great for what it does - gaming - and as I have been getting more into streaming, with creating and editing pictures and video, I figured I would try having a second monitor. I did some research on the different panel types (TN, VA, and IPS) and their variants, with their strengths and weaknesses, and, when I saw this monitor, I figured I would pull the trigger. This monitor utilizes an SVA panel, which is an improvement on standard VA panel technology; it has the same rich color contrast, with even better viewing angles (meaning there is no color shift when youre not looking at the monitor straight on). Samsungs website advertises this product as Freesync 2 HDR which I will take at face value, the colors look good to me, though I have no equipment to measure the accuracy of them. Similarly, the brightness is good, and with the contrast the blacks do look black, and the white really pops. Ive had the monitor for several days now, and Im very happy with my experience with it. I notice the difference in colors and contrast when watching shows or editing photos, and I still get the great, smooth experience that 144hz has to offer. If I have one complaint, it is that the monitor has two freesync modes: standard and ultimate. When I select standard, it has a framerate ceiling of 85hz, while the ultimate allows up to the full 144hz, and, for some games, gave me noticeable ghosting issues. These are basically overdrive settings for the monitor to help you fine-tune your gaming experience, and I was kind of bummed to see that the Standard setting capped itself at 85hz - I am more disappointed by that than I am of the ghosting.

The monitor looks great but it came with a US power cable and I live in Israel.

The best

The monitor runs great and provides very good pictures quality with my pc.

Pros: great brights, nice curves , and decent picture quality. Cons: A bit Janky when running dual monitor setup, some finger prints before I opened.

I guess I dont quite understand the refresh rate and picture quality but when I pit this against a curved 27 Samsung 1080p 60hz cf27398 this one was not as bright nor as remarkable. I wear bluelight blocking glasses at all times, so I am not concerned about the led, but putting these two monitors together made me realize that the refresh rate didnt matter. I am returning it and ordering the samsung 27 that I love. The price came down...I am somewhat please.

So the monitor is good for gaming yes, besides the specs i was excited about the speakers in the monitor. They are internal speakers, not external meaning since they are built INSIDE and has a 3.5mm audio jack it is REQUIRED to plug in headphones/speakers. Where some monitors have external speakers built in meaning you dont need headphones/speakers plugged in with a cable to work. I dont always want to have to wear headphones to listen to the game nor worry about losing more desk space adding speakers now. Will return item once i find another gaming monitor with crosshair/gaming specs/built in speakers. LC24RG50FQNXZA is the model. spent hours on the internet forums and trying audio settings.

Really good for price 144HZ pretty crisp picture packaged well and undamaged. Screen select is weird to get used to but you figure it out.

Outstanding product, great video quality and easy to setup.
