> 24 hourIf anyone was looking into getting a new monitor, whether it be for a first-time desktop user or a long-awaited upgrade, this is a perfect choice. But there are some important flaws that I would like to point out. First of which is the stand. It is not the type of monitor to have the ability to vertically adjust. You are only restricted to adjusting the angle on the x-axis. Second, the instructions are clear but lack a lot of important details. To my knowledge, it doesnt once say you have to change the refresh rate through its menu. I later found out there was a more advanced guide on google if you just search it up. Im only putting this here because of the inconvenience. The third and final is the amount of space this monitor takes up. I luckily have a very big workspace so I have no problems when it comes to finding space for this monitor. But, if you currently use a small desk something around the dimensions of 28 3/4x19 5/8 or close then you might want to invest in a monitor arm. The base for the monitor is unnecessarily long, so having a small desk can bring up slight annoyances. Those three flaws are the only problems Ive experienced so far. Thanks for listening to my TED Talk.

> 24 hourOverall great monitor, good price (I paid $345 if youre patient youll get it at this price), 1440P, 144Hz, not too heavy, curve isnt that bad once you get used to it but it will feel strange for a while. My only gripe is one single dead pixel, which honestly sucks but isnt the end of the world in a 1440P monitor where pixels feel so small however on solid color screens (especially white) I can always find it (because I know its there) other people may not even notice it honestly. Not worth taking off a star over one dead pixel (Screen is 6 months old now) overall happy with the monitor for the price I paid.

> 24 hourRead this review, then decide on the purchase. The price is pretty hefty, and I’m sure you’ve heard the cons to this beautiful piece of gaming art. Although, let me fill you in on what you don’t know. This monitor, is freaking huge, ok? This thing is a beautiful piece, has the perfect amount of curve, graphics are great!! And the piece of resistance is that it’s hard to find things wrong with it. Now obviously Their are cons to this item. Very commonly you will find maybe one or two dead pixels, (not that big of deal). You might worry about the ghosting this monitor has, it really isn’t that bad. And last but not least, the HDR being below normal. It is a very dim monitor, although it is easy to get adjusted too. Great for use in a dim lit or no lit room. Also, god for bid. Take your time putting the stand on, that was most likely the worst thing abt this monitor. That hell of a stand.

> 24 hourIt is a great monitor, and the price was pretty good. My older son has a larger monitor, which I like a lot better, but it was quite a bit more expensive. Overall, it is a good value.

> 24 hourGot it back during a Cyber Monday deal around $260ish. Its really good for the price honestly. It works perfectly with my PS5. 120 hz on games that support it no issues. It feels so smooth, cant believe I played FPS games on 60 for so long because 120 is game changing! The only unfortunate thing when it comes to performance is that it only supports G-Sync and not other forms of VRR. And G-Sync isnt supported on PS5. Picture Quality: When it comes to picture quality, its actually pretty good when you get it dialed in and mess with the picture settings, but out of the box it isnt that great and HDR isnt even a consideration for me. Its not an oled so the deepblacks arent the best but once you calibrate it to your liking, it ends up looking really good. Its also made up by the fact that its 1440p resolution with 144hz refresh rate. 1080p in 2023 is a deal breaker! So no worries there The colors are also vibrant and punchy. Just not the best blacks. Also, it doesnt have the best viewing angles, but its a curved gaming monitor, most times youre gonna be sitting directly in front of it lol so that shouldnt be much of an issue. Screen/Build Quality: Ive had this monitor for just around 4 months and no issues so far when it comes to the build quality. The stand it ships with though is very limited, and I remember it was a pain in the *** to mount the monitor on the stand for the first time. Overall, this is a great bang for the buck if you can get it at or below $300. It gives you the basic necessities for a gaming monitor. 144hz support, 1440p resolution so its sharp enough, the colors with calibration can be vibrant and punchy, and its curved at 32 inches. Not many complaints here! Cons: deep blacks arent a strength, viewing angles arent great, and no VRR support on PS5, only G-Sync for PC.

> 24 hourThis monitor is fine, i just gotta figure out how to configure the colors more precicely. The only thing is, when you turn off the PC the monitor makes very high pitched two tone sound. It is unlikely many will hear this sound, you would only hear it if you were in complete silence like late at night. I guess its the standby tone listening for input signal for when the PC turn on. Its not annoying, but it is there if your hearing lets you hear things in that range.

> 24 hourThe monitor was great, for the time that I had it but I have a cautionary take for you if you get one and it arrives with an issue like mine did. Also just as a side note I do not normally write reviews. So, my monitor arrived and all was well. Put it on my triple monitor arm and started to use it, it was so nice and I liked it a lot. After I was done I went to bed but in the morning when I woke up half of the screen was dark, the back light died/was dying. I ask amazon if I can exchange it for a new one and they said no, but Samsung can repair it for you for free! WOW! So I send my monitor to samsung, this was on 3/6/2021. After WEEKS of waiting I get told yeah we arent going to fix your monitor OR send you a new one, we are just going to refund you. After more time of waiting I just wanted the monitor again so I bought the monitor again before ever seeing my money back from samsung. I just got my money back in my account today, 4/27/2021. Almost 2 full months for a simple refund, if I knew it was going to be a refund to begin with I would have just returned it to amazon and gotten my money back 2 months ago. TL;DR : DO NOT SEND INTO SAMSUNG FOR REPAIR OF YOUR PRODUCT, if you bought it from amazon just return it to amazon.

> 24 hourSe siente claramente la mejoría jugando a120fps en la x series pero no deje de sentir que se realizó más sacrificio de gráficos en 4K de la tv de lo que mejoró en rendimiento con el monitor. Aun así creo que vale la pena
