> 24 hourThis thing is amazing! It has the perfect curve to get you the perfect gaming experience! The only con I can think of is while setting up the stand, one part was a little annoying to screw on. Overall, 5 stars!

> 24 hourThe screen is great once I got the brightness/contrast/sharpness set up the way I like it. Only problem Ive really had is with the stand; I couldnt get the two pieces (one connects to the screen, one to the stand part) to fully connect, nor could I screw it where it told me to. It stands alright like that, but if I mess with it or lift it, it comes right off. I tried using all my strength, but it just wouldnt go in. Huge flaw.

> 24 hourMy job requires multiple displays due to the large amounts of information I must track at once. This curved display fits in nicely with my other monitors. I used a VESA mount to secure it to the Walli mounts I already had. Highly recommend.

> 24 hourI work from my home office as a software engineer so Im in front of my screens practically all day. I bought 3, two for me and one for my wife. I replaced two 24 HP flat screens with these bad boys. These being my first curved screens, I was a bit concerned that I wouldnt like the curved effect (it seemed a bit gimmicky to me), however, I couldnt be happier. The brightness and clarity of these screens are also superior to my previous screens. I fiddled with brightness, sharpness, contrast but, in the end, I didnt have to tweak them all that much. The default settings are pretty nice. While these screens are larger, they still have a max resolution of 1920 x 1080 so dont expect a super fine HD quality image. They were a breeze to assemble. Just snap the base into the slot in the monitor. I like the stand itself. Its very low profile and leaves more space on my desk for my keyboard (wireless, illuminated, Logitech K800 - I suggest picking one up) and mouse (Microsoft wireless laser mouse 5000 - nothing fancy, gets the job done). When I bump my desk there is a bit of a wobble to the screens but its not bad or very noticeable. Sometimes when Im vigorously typing away, I will get a little wobble, but, again, I remain unperturbed. I was crossing my fingers (figuratively of course) when I pulled the screens from the box and examined them for damage. The surface of each of the three screens I purchased was in flawless shape and after getting them hooked up, I looked for any dead pixels, color lines, etc. that would be a no-go. Im pleased to say that all three screens were in top shape. I primarily use Visual Studio and I found that I had to change the font from the default Consolas to another, finer, monotype font (I found a free one called Monofur that works perfectly at 12pt) in order to optimize font clarity and lines of code on the screen. With these screens Consolas at 12pt was way too big. And simply reducing the font made it ugly (pixelated, blocky, etc.) so I wanted something better. Im not sure how well the screenshot will translate to your current screen but Ive captured a little snippet to share how clear my screen looks to me. As for the curved effect, I was a bit concerned after reading other reviews, some of which go on about how terrible they are for spreadsheets. Im not sure what thats all about since I find that these screens are ideal for looking at long lines of text across the screen for extended periods. When these screens are in front of you the curve itself is almost imperceptible. As I mentioned, I use two screens sitting side-by-side and I find that these perfectly wrap my work area in a more immersive way that my previous non-curved screens. My wife works on the other computer as an editor (so again lots of text and spreadsheets) and she absolutely loves it. The ONLY complaint I have at the moment is that when I sit these two screens adjacent to each other, the tops/bottoms dont line up perfectly. One edge is raised about 1/4 over the other. I havent fiddled with the monitor positions too much to see if I can correct it since I dont really notice it while Im working. I have a few thoughts on how to remedy it if it actually starts bothering me so I really cant complain. Overall, if youre looking for a nice upgrade to your current screen without breaking the bank, these screens will do the job nicely.

> 24 hourI wanted a wide monitor so I could work with two or three windows open at the same time without having to go with multiple monitors at a single workstation. I know that this is touted as a gaming monitor, but I am not a gamer. I am a writer, so mostly I use LibreOffice and/or FocusWriter to compose stories and set up the books layout. I also manage my home library from this station and it is useful to be able to display information on, say, a hundred-year-old German language adventure story and the fields of Library Thing at the same time when I am entering information. It is also useful when entering data into a spreadsheet from online bank statements and/or mutual fund reports. The monitor fits into the space available on my desk and does not crowd the other items there. Assembly was simple, and though there is an owners manual, I did not use it. The back of the monitor has standard VGA and HDMI interfaces and perhaps others. I used the VGA interface with my antique. The Fedora Core 33 OS had no trouble adapting to the new monitor. The curvature of the screen took a few minutes to get used to, but after that initial adjustment period, I no longer really noticed it. All in all, I am glad that I bought this monitor, saving myself the difference in the cost of a television with an HDMI interface which I really did not need in the first place. Ive been using Samsung devices for some years now and never had one that failed to perform well. The only one of their products that Ive ever had to replace was the television that my adult severely autistic son put his fist into during a tantrum.... and even that one COULD have been repaired I suppose as only the screen was broken. I dont think you could go wrong with this one and while you can get perfectly serviceable monitors these days at second hand stores for five bucks, this one will outclass them by a wide margin.

> 24 hourI work from home and bought two of these for work. They work great and are a big upgrade from what I had. Got them for a very reasonable price too - just make sure you know what youre getting. I have no idea if these are good for gaming, but they work well for what Im using them for. I have them mounted on a monitor arm and didnt use the stand that they come with. It has a piece on the back for the stand that sticks out. However, it hasnt been a problem for me. The HDMI cable also goes straight out the back too, so if you need something flush with the wall, this isnt going to work. Also, it only has a single HDMI input and no display port. If you need both, youll have to buy a cable to convert it.
