I purchased this for approximately $180 as an Amazon Warehouse/Refurbished deal, with "Like New" condition, and I'm 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. It's 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 you're not looking at the monitor straight on). Samsung's 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.
I've had the monitor for several days now, and I'm 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.

Great budget value for next generation consoles.
I needed a quality budget gaming monitor with a known name for my Xbox Series X. I did some research and this had the least negative reviews, I was leaning towards the Pixio but seeing dead pixels and other issues with customer service I pulled the trigger on this Samsung CRG50 24”.I had this monitor for a day and with over 5 hours on it and I was truly impressed with this 24” monitor.With a very intuitive UI for adjustments it has several selections for the type of games you are playing and the color range is impressive.The only drawback like most reviewers did on the 24” is the absence to mount this on a monitor arm/bracket like the 27”-32” has.Since this should be a standard it was a big disappointment about this monitor.I will follow up in 30 days to see how it holds up.Initially I would recommend this monitor since the new generation of HDMI 2.1 are too costly this will hold you over till those new monitors come out and drop in price.6/13/21Alright I had this monitor for two months and been playing games on it and played a few movies on this great monitor solely on the Xbox Series X and no issues and this monitor is still working fine. No complaints at all.If you are looking for a budget monitor from a big name company like Samsung I highly recommend this monitor for folks on a budget but still has the performance for the new gen consoles this is the monitor for you.

I Love this Monitor especially for the price and quality it brings to game play. 144Hz fast enough to keep up with Call of Duty Game play which has a lot movement. It has the monitor dot but it gets annoying when your not aiming but hey you might like it. I color quality you can custom to your liking. If not theres other options for color. I would recommend this monitor to friends or family.
