> 3 dayAfter finally purchasing a couple MiniPCs for both business and personal use, and using an old LCD 21 Wide Screen Monitor I had, I was finding that I must be spoiled by my 4K TV because the picture on that monitor which I thought was wonderful, just seemed so dull and it did not support 4K which I have come to love to watch 4K videos etc. I wasnt really sure what monitor to get, but I wanted something much larger, supported 4K, and that was at a very reasonable price. I did a lot of searching Amazons product lists for monitors, and I came across this monitor, and I noticed that it was a curved screen. While I have never owned a curved screen anything, I had seen them at the local electronics store and was darn impressed. So I was very curious about this monitor because it had all the specs I was looking for, at least 27, Wide Screen, Support for 4K, Native Resolution of 1920 x 1080, LED, and had a curved screen. When I also noticed that it was a Samsung, I was pretty excited to learn more because I have always had very good luck with Samsung products and in fact, I have only had one Samsung product ever fail, and that was a mobile phone that should have stopped working years ago with what It went through. Not knowing much about monitors these days, I started reading the reviews that were written on this monitor and I asked the community a couple questions. The answers I got back to my questions sealed the deal for me. Everyone who responded had nothing but great things to say about this monitor and provided me in info I needed. So I decided to go for it. When it got here, unfortunately the first one had a broken screen. It appeared that it was packaged that way since the packaging was factory sealed but the packing was broken on the inside. Needless to say I returned it but Amazon really stepped up to the plate and sent me a replacement next day, so I was only delayed by 1 day getting to use it. Because the first monitor came with a broken screen, I am going to assume that the screen may be a bit on the frgile side as my old monitor has been dropped, and the LCD screen never had any issues, I dont know jf the screens on LED monitors are more easily broken, or If this was something that someone really dropped hard before packaging, for this reason I gave the durability 4 stars) Setup was a breeze! Just had to put 1 screw to put the base stand together, and that was it. The stand is about the only thing I really dont like because the base that sits on the desk is an upside down chevron shape, which sticks out in front of the monitor a few inches. This makes putting it on a small desk where your keyboard would be in front of it a bit of a pain because the keyboard has to be pulled closer to me and just gets in the way to me. I managed to get around that by putting the monitor up on a little shelf I made out of a box and an old Laptop lap desk that I had. It perfectly raises the monitor by about 4-5 inches, and lets me push the keyboard further back to where I now have more room on my desk. (Images added to show the base and how I worked around the chevron styled base to give me more room). The monitor has one HDMI port and one Display Port. Now I am not familiar with the Display Port, but all my devices are HDMI, so plugging in a PC is simple. In fact, I have 3 MiniPCs that I need to connect to this monitor so I bought a 5 port HDMI switch. This allows me to easily switch between each MiniPC with just a click of a button. The picture on this monitor is absolutely phenomenal! Once I plugged in the HDMI plug, turned on the monitor, it automatically scanned for the signal which it found right away and WOW! What a gorgeous picture. The colors are very bright and vibrant. The dynamics between the Black and White colors are stunning and the color definition is very vivid. For never using a curved screen before on a computer monitor, I am very impressed. It almost immerses you in to the picture and almost gives it a extra dimensional view, almost 3D in nature... The thing I worried most about with a curved screen was is there going to be any distortion with a curved screen and I am happy to say. Absolutely Not!. The images looks perfectly flat, but because of the curve, it pulls the outer edges our of your peripheral vision and closer to your focused view when looking straight forward. Learning how to use the toggle button on the back for adjusting the settings van take a bit of getting used to, however, at this point, I havent really needed to use any of the options other then Sleep and Shut Down as the defaults seem to be perfect for my setup. Unfortunately this monitor does not have built in speakers however, if you have speakers connected to you computer or use a set of Bluetooth Speakers you will be just fine. Overall my impression of this monitor is fantastic! The picture quality is stunning, and the size with the curves screen is awesome. I would recommend this monitor to anyone who wants an excellent monitor for home or office at a more then reasonable price. While I have not used the monitor for gaming, I have used a monitor that has the same 4ms refresh rate and that has the same native resolution of1920 x 1080 and that monitor is over 10 years old and still holds up today, so I can only imagine that this monitor would be perfectly fine for todays games. I am definitely glad that I went ahead and purchased this monitor, and should I need to replace the monitor that I amusing as a secondary monitor, I will likely purchase another one of this model! Again, Highly recommended and over all this monitor gets a full 5 Stars from me! ~

> 3 dayThe picture doesnt do it justice. This monitor is very clear and the colors are vibrant. My only complaint is that it is not phyically adjustable. I cannot move the screen up, down or sideways, so I have to keep it tilted on a ledge which causes one of the legs to stick out. It has a Y shaped base which isnt good for limited surface space desks.

Greater than one weekMonitor looks good, and sets up easy. However, the screen had a dark spot (about the size of a pencil eraser) where the pixels were not working. Returned the product promptly and was given a full refund.....which is why I keep using Amazon. If it isnt right, they fix it!

> 3 dayThe photo of the back in the description for this monitor clearly shows a DisplayPort. I ordered two of these along with DisplayPort cables. The monitors I received only have HDMI and VGA connections on the back. This is a huge inconvenience since the hub I am connecting to only has DisplayPort connections. Now I have to send the cables back and get new ones.

Greater than one weekexactly 31 days from the purchase date, this monitor has a black vertical line and is worthless. It would cost more to fix it than the almost $200 I paid for it. Completely unsatisfied and an unhappy Amazon customer. Warranty for electronics should be longer than 30 days. Best buy gives you 60 days. Absolutely infuriating! EDIT: Amazons customer service wins the day, and has honored the refund even though it was a day after the return window. I had waited to set this up and 3 of the monitors worked fine and this one didnt. Thank you Amazon for doing the right thing. I will change to 5 stars after this is fully resolved

> 3 dayI love the curved monitor, no glare, looks really nice! But, two things could be a lot better: 1) The rear mount that attaches the base does not come off. This is now a random piece of plastic hanging off the bottom of an arm-mounted monitor which makes no sense. If its compatible with an adjustable arm mount, why would the plastic arm for the desktop base not come off? Just make it removable with some screws or snaps or something! 2) It scratches really easily. I have two permanent scratches where something accidentally bumped the screen and left a mark that seems to be permanent and wont wipe off. If youre a really careful person, this might not be an issue, but god forbid you swat a fly and hit the screen by accident, youll be staring at that mark for the rest of the life of the monitor.

> 3 dayThe only thing I don’t like about the monitor is that the stand is flimsy. But the monitor itself is a good product.
