Customers are mixed about the value of the monitor. Some mention that it's worth the price, has an awesome picture, and is perfect for finance. Others say that it is definitely pricey, has annoying features, and that it was a huge amount of money wasted.

"...not bad exactly just has some really annoying features and is not worth the price...." Read more
"...gaming experience first and foremost this display is worth a serious look for its price...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Out of box everything worked great. Win 7 has so issues dealing with multi monitors that can be resolved by using win 10 but I'm just not ready to let my win 7 go just yet. and after a few reboot and icon positioning everything will calm down in a week or so.
Color on this beast is great, they did supply a color calibration report, and in the future i will be doing color tests and cals when i have a few days to mess with it, But its nice to have something to look at when i do the actual cal my self to see if this was actually done or just a default cal was used, Ill update when i do it. I noticed the better color difference right away compared to my 2 dells and visio.
I was on the fence about getting this monitor because of some reviews about text looked fuzzy.. Like it is on the visio (reg 60in lcd tv). From what i understand that is due to pixel pitch or dot pitch (don't quote me i just remember reading about it). If you look at a icon on a tv lcd you will see what looks like a shadow around text and icons. This effect is like color miss registration and gives me a headache. BUT thank the heavens its not happening on this baby.
Normal surfing is ok and the desk top space is awesome. Multitasking is sweet and having 3 or 4 windows open on 1 screen is fantastic.
But were this beauty excels is GAMING and on star Citizen it looks awesome. My field of vision is awesome. At the distance I sit it fills from left to right almost perfectly. Allowing me to not have to move around so much. I now do not feel like I'm playing with blinders on and missing everything around me. Since i have 3 other viewing sources I dont have to use this screen for videos or surfing just gaming.
This baby is not all that heavy compared to both my dells together this guy is feather light.
The stand is what to be expected but does move in all directions and i may not have to put it on a separate raised platform like i did with my dells, I will miss the space for storage under the screen but its a small price to pay.
I have not used the audio pass through as of yet because my my system is close and no need to have any more cables then i need.
The bezel is thin so if i had 2 it would be almost seamless.
Ok now for a issue i have found .. if you look at the driver property's it shows a generic PnP monitor, so I down loaded the driver from Samsung site and installed the DP driver. Instantly I lost all ability to use my visio on the HDMI connection. it wanted to set the visios res to 3840x1080 which is a big no no and would crash my video card/driver. I would wait the 10 sec to revert and all my icons were spread all over. After a few trys to get it to work, I just uninstalled the driver. Rebooted, fused with my icons and window placements, rebooted a few more times to lock it all in place and all back to normal.. May be samsung can tell me why that did that. I did notice that when i did the driver install it asked me what source I wanted to install the driver on and it showed my 2 dells and then the 2 generic PnP sources. Since i didn't know what source was which I pulled the HDMI connector out and selected the only 1 generic PnP device and installed the DP driver to that one... Thats were it all went wrong Once i plugged my visio back it grabbed that Samsung DP driver. But uninstalling that DP driver reverted it all back to normal.
So a note to all always try default before blindly installing software drivers. and never install lots of stuff at one time. this way you can uninstall back if you have issues.
ALL in ALL it was worth the 979.99 I paid. Because back in 2007 i bought my 2707WFPs for 999.99 each and that was a great deal for those at that time and they still work great except that DVI is becoming a old connector type and rarely can find new 1080s with 2 dvi ports. Plus 2 27in monitors are almost this cost anyway why buy 2 when for a tad bit more you get the 2 in one with no bezel.
Yes i know you could buy a ACER predator or what ever but I wanted 49inchs not 34. LOL.
If i had another 979.99 I would consider dumping my 2 dells.
I will update in the future about color cal and basic use.

The issue was most clearly seen on a light blue or white background. I am not showing any of these photos here because it is not a great indication of how the monitor looks in actuality. I am simply going to say that it looks great, and having a 144Hz monitor will change your life for gaming.
My worst experience was with getting it exchanged for a working model. Here's a timeline of what happened and some advice. Only took a couple of days to get it sorted but it was a pain for sure.
Day 1 - I received it and unboxed it. It took some time to setup as it is so large. I was also being very particular on hiding wires and such. That evening when I turned it on I saw the issue, at first i was wondering since it was a 1080p if I was just seeing the pixels (I wasn't).
Day2 - Called Samsung first. At first call (the number listed in manual) I was sent through a very bad phone tree to finally get a person on the phone (this only took about 20 minutes ). Once I told them my monitor model they said it was a "commercial model" and they had to forward me to their business line. This was actually quite fast. I was connected quickly (another phone tree) to a Samsung rep who was very helpful, and informed me that the other line could have easily answered my question. The rep asked me to send them some photos - I took some on my phone and them replied to an email they sent me. They said this was a known defect, and it could be repaired (no cost), but why should I get it repaired and not replaced. They informed me to contact amazon.
Next I called amazon, well actually I used the website to try and start a return/replace. The website said I could not simply do a return and that I had to either chat or have amazon call me/ I elected for amazon to call me. They did and then I waited on hold. Then the amazon rep stated that a return could not be processed unless we called Samsung to ensure it was not a user error or something. I informed them I had already called, they stated they could hear me well then proceeded to call Samsung. I was then told the Samsung rep couldn't hear me that well, from the amazon rep - but anyhow after about 3 minutes of the person trying to get me to troubleshoot the problem, and then requesting more photos they (Samsung) actually decided to look up my number and found the previous call. Immediately the Samsung rep said they could fix it and went through how they would. The amazon rep was quick to point out that Samsung could fix it and wanted to just drop off the call and let that happen - had to fight to make sure that didn't happen. Then another 30 minutes of them trying to arrange a pickup of the monitor for my house later they asked if I still had the box and had the ability to disassemble (duhh - I put it together). So that's what I did and the return processed the way I expected it to a full 2 hours before this call.
My advice: quickly test the monitor, see if it works, Keep the box (obviously), and call Samsung first like I did if you have an issue. Then ask them for some sort of a tracking number for your issue before returning to amazon. Also make sure to stand strong to make sure amazon will take your return. For such an expensive item they seem to want to pawn it off on the manufacturers.

The 32:9 aspect ratio is something else to experience. Wish it was the higher resolution model (CRG9 @ 5120x1440) but I couldn't justify the price, and my PC wouldn't be able to play games at that resolution anyways, so I'm OK with this one.
Disappointed with the flickering issues.
TLDR: Don't buy Samsung product. Their warranty support is awful.
Contacted amazon: Told me to contact Samsung. Contacted Samsung (all those conversations repeating myself for 2 hours each time). Schedule a pick up with fedex (which the pick up is only schedulable by phone). They got the monitor, waited a week for an answer. "Physical dmg" is not covered. Price for repaire: 1030$. Contact amazon. Amazon says: "We cannot take the item back since it doesn't cover *you* breaking the item.
I am now waiting on samsung for a review of their repair cost since it makes no sense. Please don't buy this monitor. It's too fragile and impossible to reimburse if anything happens. It's a 1000$ down the drain.
