I’ve had the display for 3 weeks. Really nice connection through USB-C and my Macbook pro 2018(late). BUT a major drawback is the sound problems. I intermittently disables the sound. I you have to manually reset the display to default before if works again. Moreover you cannot control the display with the dedicated mac keyboard shortcuts (brightness or sound). I really hope that especially the sound issue will be fixed ASAP. Untill then I cant recommend this display.

My curved screen monitor is used for both entertainment and work. I am doctoral student who is required to write and publish papers. The big screen allows me to open multiple pdfs and docs simultaneously while I write. I also work with MATLAB and Adobe to create high res images, the color reproduction from this monitor allows me to vizualize my data better. Saving the best for last, watching movies at 21:9 aspect ratio is amazing. No more black bars while watching movies. Pros: 1) Amazing resolution 2) Large screen surface area for better multi-tasking 3) PIP mode to use multiple laptops or gaming system 4) Excellent audio quality for a monitor 5) Good refresh rate for gaming Cons: 1) No wireless connection (expected for monitors but will be a good feature to have in future) 2) Cant achieve a good resolution while Connecting via Chrome-cast 3) 16:9 (YouTube or Netflix) videos will have black bars 4) Can’t maintain the aspect ratio while connecting to devices like Roku or Xfinity flex

Use this monitor for gaming, it is great is every aspect, clarity, smoothness, colors are amazing. The only complaint I would have, which isn’t the monitor issue,is that gaming on a ultra wide is alil to much screen for my taste. Other than that it is great.

I mostly use this monitor for streaming and movies and you couldn’t get a better experience if you took your eyes out and replace them with this monitor screen this is one of the most Innovative products that I’ve come across in the tech industry for quite a while if I was younger and play video games I couldn’t imagine the fun it would be! Things in this world are changing so fast but this here has hit a level of Excellence that should keep it relevant for quite a while a lot of product are out-of-date more less what time you open the box but with this monitor I feel even with new technology coming out that you would still be quite satisfied with this for several years

This monitor is great all around for gaming, youtube, and even school. It allows efficient multitasking due to the size and is also a high resolution. Although it is not 120 or 144 hz, 100 hz is smooth enough and it is worth settling for considering the amount of real estate you are paying for. And trust me you are paying for it considering the higher price point that this offered at. Also the Thunderbolt 3 has proved useful in my field. All around solid picture, frame rate, and size. Definitely worth the money.

Packaging was neat enough, however considering this is a very expensive monitor to buy then I thought the included items could be improved, no user manual and the one on the Samsung website initially referred to a different model, and a large metal plate included with no guidance on what it is for or how to use it (I’m presuming it’s to mount monitor on alternative stand but no clue how to do this) Screen is nice enough, sits a little too far forward on it’s stand for my liking and would have preferred it tb be more set upright and further back, and the screen appears to dim a little at the extreme edges. I’ve had no issues setting up monitor in Windows 10 and got the full resolution straight away via a HDMI connection, I’ve not tried DisplayPort but presume it’s equally as simple to use. The menu controls are a little clunky and could definitely be improved, there’s a little joystick on the back of the monitor at bottom right and using it really requires your thumb being pressed against screen to steady it – so that area will perpetually be covered in fingerprints! I would have much preferred the buttons to be along the bottom bezel as they are with most other monitors I’ve used. Menu covers everything you will need and then some, but does look quite dated and not in keeping with the modern curved look of the monitor. The curved screen took a little getting used to and if I’m honest I’m still not sure I like it or see a need for it, the design of the monitor looks brilliant sitting on my desk and everyone that has seen it has been impressed, but actually using it the curve doesn’t really have any benefits for me at least, and as mentioned contributes to it sitting quite far forward on stand and I would guess a little awkward to use a VESA mount for if that’s what you wanted to do. As a photographer the colour reproduction was very important to me and I’ve not tested it’s accuracy but seems to give a pretty faithful representation of images, I’ve edited a few weddings on it now and the clients have been happy which I guess is evidence enough of it suitability. Overall it’s a great looking screen but not one I would be sad to let go, the curve I imagine adds a significant amount to the RRP and doesn’t really do it for me, great having all the additional screen real estate but that’s not something that another much better priced monitor couldn’t do equally as well if not better.

Arrival From the moment the box arrived, you knew you were about to receive an impressive piece of kit. The set-up of the screen was simple and pain free. First impressions Having first turned on the ultra-wide screen on, I was instantly struck by the sleek curved design which sunk perfectly into the shape of my desk, creating an impressive and immersive user experience. One concern I had was that the screen would be ‘OTT’ and that it’d take a fair bit of getting used to, however, this proved not be a problem… Experience One of the biggest selling features for me is the ability to input through Thunderbolt. This gives you the versatility to switch between applications and portability to transfer hardware (i.e. my MacBook) from place to place. Moving onto the screen quality, I can’t say I experienced issues that other Insiders have with regards to fading etc. Rather, I found the QLED quality to be up to scratch with colours holding depth and crisp, clear clarity. As you can see from my pictures, it had no issues oozing the details displayed in the 4K illustrative video. In terms of split screening, I think this will be a point of curiosity for those who are thinking of purchasing this kind of screen for the first time. However, the ultra-wide screen and immersive curved experience really eased and simplified how I work with different tabs and made me fall in love in having one single display! Lastly, the speakers are not something I use frequently. However, these were of a good standard, but I do concur that they lack bass. However, I think for a user who requires a lot from speakers that they would buy standalone speakers over inbuilt in any case. Overall, I think it’s an excellent piece of kit which really up’s the game in the tech world. However, I would suggest a few ‘light’ improvements to make the experience even greater: – The ability to move the bezel would be very useful, particularly if you are showing the display to an audience or clients. – For a monitor of this spec and detail, I would expect a non-plastic bezel for not only effect but also rigour. – Quality of speakers are good, but can be made great! Think of going into a restaurant, having a great main course but the dessert letting you down slightly. That’s what happened here. – There is a slight bend on HDMI wiring -more give would be helpful in preserving the life span of the lead. – The power supply is quite hefty which might not be ideal if you have a small / limited working area

Great monitor. I use it with a MacBook Pro. Single USB-C connection. Great to work on documents side by side or any task where you typically need two screens. Picture is great as well.
