    UPDATE*** So after having the monitor for about a month, I started getting extreme artifacts all over. Getting into the menu settings doesnt work all the time as the monitor decided to restart over and over. The bios is not always a guarantee to get into even if you have the settings to 60HZ and other options off. I got frustrated enough I guess to finally return this. I read the reviews carefully here before deciding to buy this monitor. For starters, I have an AMD system and using Nvidas graphics card (Geforce RTX 2080 Super). I enabled FreeSync on the monitor menu (it was not enabled by default). The monitor was automatically set at 144hz. Its plugged into the one and only HDMI port it has. I dont use DP so I cant comment on that part... just yet. My issue during setup: I couldnt figure out for the life in me why the monitor wasnt detected by my PC during boot-up. I was accessing the monitor menu, but there was no picture being fed into it. It turns out that I had my HyperX headset plugged into my computer and it did funny things. After 20 minutes of frustration, rebooting over and over and googling, I unplugged the USB headset and the monitor showed up just fine after that point. I knocked off a star for this because I always seem to have issues with other types of Samsung monitors when setting them up in the past. They are very finnicky monitors in general when setting them up. No problem. When I didnt have FreeSync enabled, the colors did not need to be adjusted and worked fine for me out of the box. The blacks were rich and I saw no need to even bother adjusting the colors. BUT THEN... when I enabled FreeSync about 10 minutes later, I noticed a yellowish tint immediately and the blacks not looking as a rich. I believe this has nothing to do with the monitor since I saw other people reporting this same nuisance with FreeSync using Acer and other brands of monitors (just do a google search for freesync looks yellowish.). For the time being, I switched FreeSync back to off until i figure out if I want to do a custom color setting through the moniters own menu or find a way to not have AMDs drivers affect the color profile. Other Experiences so far: - Geforce experience and having ingame overlay on = terrible for me. I updated to the latest driver and reinstalled geforce experience. I guess I somehow turned the ingame overlay on (I usually had it off). I was experiencing huge artifacts when tabbing to dark-themes programs such as Discord, Spotify and even Geforce experience itself. This may not have anything to do with the monitor persay but if youre complaining about seeing artifacts tabbing around or dragging your mouse around, the ingame overlay feature is the culprit. I think this is Geforces problem really since I read some people rolling back to an older driver. - You have to turn down to 120hz if you intend to stream (Netflix and Prime). No way around this. The whys and the hows have already been addressed in other reviews here. Final thoughts: - Samsung monitors are finicky during setup, but if you always had just about any of them you already know this. Once you realize and overcome the setup process with these types of monitors you are golden. I knocked a star off because of how terrible it is to access the menu, the weird USB issue when booting up, and the fact that the stand this comes with is terrible. I highly recommend this monitor for the price-point thought, and I am going to switch to a mounting stand anyhow. - I came from a 21 inch Samsung (flat screen). The switch to a curved 32 inch screen was a huge change. In fact, I am regretting not going for a 27 inch instead since I couldve done a dual monitor setup side by side, but this thing is HUGE. Its about 28 inches wide by the way, so make sure you measure you space.

    My first monitor the one that I am keeping is a 5+ for the price. I want 2 displays and every additional one has a true white issue. This is with all settings equal, it follows the monitor when swapping sources. The only difference is the embedded software on the more white one is 1008. The others are 1009.1. It could be that samsung received a batch of bad LEDs or toned down the brightness to compensate for possible early failures? The 3 additional monitors from Amazon may be from the same lot? Any how I could not adjust this out with Gama, color, brightness, contrast, and is a shame. The first monitor kicks! I dont know if I want to go through more returns to get a good one. So bottom line if you order one and the white is just not that white you may be seeing what I have. Yes cables, drivers, widows, graphic cards all have been checked the same source to the good monitor when applied to the others still show the monitors to be off white.

    A hiccup in the delivery was 100% immediately resolved by HomeGoods. I would certainly purchase from them again.

    Very defined picture and is also very easy to setup and use. A definite upgrade for anyone looking for a new monitor for either gaming or work.

    This is an amazing monitor to use for gaming, art, and entertainment. It is life changing going from 60hz 1080p to going to 120hz 1440p. Seeing more frames and having a clearer resolution makes your reaction times in games like Valorant, CS:GO, DOOM Eternal, and other shooters much more faster after getting used to it of course. I also use this monitor as my primary monitor for using 3d modeling software such as Blender. Having a bigger screen means having a bigger workspace for the models and the effects. For other forms of digital art you have a larger canvas to look at. Lastly, for entertainment such as videos and movies, if the resolution of the media can go to 1440p it is great, if not, then 1080p is what you get. This is a great monitor for productivity, highly recommend for anyone for anything!

    The monitor is nice, everything youd expect, however it showed up with a dead pixel close to the center of the screen.

    I did a ton of research before buying this monitor and it definitely was worth the purchase but one thing I want to say is the stand is very cheap, it’s very squeaky and wobbly and actually kinda keeps the monitor at a lopsided stance, for this price you would think that they maybe would have put a little more effort into it, I mean it’s literally a push and a twist to get the stand on, so if you’re gonna buy this monitor I recommend getting a wall mount for it, but over all it’s great for gaming by far one of the most impressive performance monitor I’ve bought but yeah the stand is kinda bs.

    Ok so I bought an acer monitor for 320 dollars, it was 240hz and 1080p so I was expecting a smooth experience. I was very excited when opening the package since the ergonomics and overall quality of the acer was son nice. That was until I turned it on and it had a massive amount of tearing, 240hz just felt wrong, there was smearing, color cast, etc. Point is, I am sending it back but I didnt want to do so without seeing up a monitor for my pc. so I ordered this one. I am so happy I decided to go for it and change it. I have only encountered one single problem with this monitor, and its the green darks and pink highlights. Out of the box my monitor came with a green tint that was way too noticeable, some tweaking in the settings and Nvidias panel, and I fixed it to a decent degree. Highly recommend, I dont think a monitor this good is going to be found at this price tag. I do have to say, the acer had better materials used for the hardware build, but Samsung seemed to compensate with screen quality and smooth performance. 90% recommend

    While the screen had a scratch on it, however it did not affect picture. Setup was easy. Took too long to ship. Picture quality was great. I did not see any dead pixels.
