It’s impressive !

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020

So I’ve always played with a TV, I had a TN 27” as well and this one really takes the cake, I play Rocket League, Modern Warfare and sometimes MHW and Minecraft, and this has given me better clarity, the picture just seems more vibrant, the quality is definitely worth the price too. One thing I will say is that since it is curved, if you are above or below the “curve” focus point, then part of your game will also curve a little, but it’s not too noticeable so long as you sit level with the monitor. All in all, it’s a great monitor and I’ve actually just started doing everything on it and my tv is now collecting dust. Definitely buying another one in the future

Samsung missed the mark

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020

I purchased 2 for my kids during black Friday and saved myself 100 dollars each. These displays are great but I wish Samsung made them with higher resolution. 27" plus 240 Hz is a great combination but nothing is perfect. The fact that samsung chose to cheapen the displays with such low resolution is beyond me. It was painful trying to find displays for my kids gaming computers with just the right balance. Either they were small with great resolution and low refresh rate. Flat screens with great resolution but twice the price and low refresh rate. My kids wanted curved screens and for the price. You cant go wrong.

They dont mind the low Res, but I am a Tech junkie and a nerd . I look for every detail in everything I buy. Don't get me wrong. They look fine but I can see the individual pixels. Specially when the screen is mostly white, like when using a word processor. The solution is to place the display as far away as possible.

This Is An All-Purpose Monitor

So far, this is the nicest monitor I've ever purchased. Not only is it good for gaming, but it's great for other things, as well. I use it when I'm using a word processor and especially when I'm using a music processor. I can prop my little Logitech camera on it. I was also able to stick a monitor mount onto the left side to hold paper.

Lowest input lag I've seen.

I wanted to like this monitor, but I don't know why it made my eyes hurt immediately. Had to return..

Pros - Awome for FPS
1. very good contrast and even blacks.
2. Lowest input lag on any monitor I ever used before. (I own a Dell s2716dg and hp omen x25f) this was faster than them.
3. Lots of customization of picture settings.
4. Simple but very good looking design.
Cons - Dont play Quake RTX on this!
1. Tons of ghosting if your not reaching 100+fps, if you reach 240fps it looks ok.
2. Stand is terrible, no heigh adjust.
3. Screen is over sharpened by default. Took awhile playing with settings to make it look normal.
4. Made my eyes hurt, I dunno why but VA and IPS panels seem to bother my eyes. TN panels don't for some odd reason.

Summary, I play alot of overwatch this monitor was actually awesome for that game. I kinda want to try buying it again and see if maybe the eye strain was just defect in the panel I had. The monitor felt like a CRT from the golden era of gaming. Just wish this panel had faster montion blur 4ms as it claims is a stretch I think. There's no solid monitor reviews of this display, I bet money if they did a input lag test on this it would be at the top of the display heap in that regard because the HP omen x25f I have is suppose to be one of the lowest input lag display and this one felt even better to aim and track targets on.

I love the Eye Saver Mode

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2021

After recently having multiple eye procedures on one of my eyes I was looking for a monitor that had an eye saver type mode. I decided on this monitor as it was the best one for the price that I was able to purchase it at. I am very happy with this monitor. I am waiting for the price to drop back to what I bought it for so I can buy another one. My eyes don't hurt like they used to after looking at the screen for about an hour. Well worth it imo.

Great Minor with one con

I love this monitor. The product itself looks amazing. My gaming setup really excites me. The picture on this monitor is incredible. I have not had a chance to play any games on it yet so I am unable to talk about whether the 240mhz makes a difference.

My only issue with this product is that the DirectPort cable that arrived with it did not work. I had to connect my HDMI cable to see the screen. After researching the cable, I was forced to buy a VESA certified DP cord and it worked. Until I turned it off and added some stuff to my computer. Now I am using my HDMI cord again. I expect better from this price point.
