Have you ever sat in front of your computer and realized that your monitor is just not quite right and that it is time for an upgrade but the last few times you spent very little and got some nice monitors but now... it's time to pamper yourself? This is what happened to me. The monitor that i was using wasn't cutting it for me anymore. I wanted to upgrade and I remember earlier this year at one of the major electronic stores, I saw for the first time a curved monitor that was huge and was approx. $800 and I was going buy that monitor when the right time to upgrade came! The other day, I did some amazon research on the monitors and it was surprising to see such a wide price variance between model to model and brand to brand. Thankfully the reviews help. I came across one review that said these monitors are not good for spreadsheets and when I read that, I then changed my mind and decided to go with purely flat and looked to see if I could find any good deals. Yet, something was telling me... I have to have the curved monitor. I do spreadsheets, yes... but I also work with photos and videos and for the price, why not? It would be worth it and if it doesn't work out, then I could easily buy a cheap flat screen just for spreadsheets and documents or send this monitor back. I ordered this very monitor, Samsung, and curved! The shipping box was very light and I loved the fact that you could tilt the box on it's short end and carry it that way. When I got the monitor home, unboxing was a breeze and assembling the stand was very simple. The screen does tilt, which is nice. This monitor does have an external power supply, but it is very small and lightweight and would rather have it external in order to keep the monitor ergonomic and light. Within 12 minutes, I had the monitor assembled, plugged in and turned on and receiving a signal. I am blown away by the sharpness, quality, and how my photos and videos look on screen, no matter what angle I am at. The curve helps me to keep focus on the center and it is a very cinematic and interesting view. I did test out a spreadsheet and actually like it curved! I am so glad I didn't abide by the other review and not get this curved monitor. This monitor hooked up nicely to my Mac Mini. The Windows 10 VM opens up nicely as well. I do love this perspective and thankful for the cost and for all the other reviewers that helped. If I ever wanted a monitor side by side, or for another pc, I would certainly get this one. I am used to buying cheap 32" tv's and using those as monitors but having a dedicated monitor at 27" offers so much more clarity in the text and photos. I feel like 27" is the perfect size.

I have been using this for about 9 months and really enjoy it. The picture is accurate, sharp, responsive and the color is vibrant. It took a week or so to get used to the curved screen but now I enjoy it. So much so that if I am on a flat screen, I see the screen as curved. I am not a gamer so I cannot judge how capable it is for gaming, but for everything else it is perfect. Out of the box the picture was less than adequate but it only took a quick internet search for the best settings and some fine tuning of those to get my preferred view.

After finally purchasing a couple MiniPC's for both business and personal use, and using an old LCD 21" Wide Screen Monitor I had, I was finding that I must be spoiled by my 4K TV because the picture on that monitor which I thought was wonderful, just seemed so dull and it did not support 4K which I have come to love to watch 4K videos etc. I wasn't really sure what monitor to get, but I wanted something much larger, supported 4K, and that was at a very reasonable price. I did a lot of searching Amazon's product lists for monitors, and I came across this monitor, and I noticed that it was a curved screen. While I have never owned a curved screen anything, I had seen them at the local electronics store and was darn impressed. So I was very curious about this monitor because it had all the specs I was looking for, at least 27", Wide Screen, Support for 4K, Native Resolution of 1920 x 1080, LED, and had a curved screen. When I also noticed that it was a Samsung, I was pretty excited to learn more because I have always had very good luck with Samsung products and in fact, I have only had one Samsung product ever fail, and that was a mobile phone that should have stopped working years ago with what It went through. Not knowing much about monitors these days, I started reading the reviews that were written on this monitor and I asked the community a couple questions. The answers I got back to my questions sealed the deal for me. Everyone who responded had nothing but great things to say about this monitor and provided me in info I needed. So I decided to go for it. When it got here, unfortunately the first one had a broken screen. It appeared that it was packaged that way since the packaging was factory sealed but the packing was broken on the inside. Needless to say I returned it but Amazon really stepped up to the plate and sent me a replacement next day, so I was only delayed by 1 day getting to use it. Because the first monitor came with a broken screen, I am going to assume that the screen may be a bit on the frgile side as my old monitor has been dropped, and the LCD screen never had any issues, I don't know jf the screens on LED monitors are more easily broken, or If this was something that someone really dropped hard before packaging, for this reason I gave the durability 4 stars) Setup was a breeze! Just had to put 1 screw to put the base stand together, and that was it. The stand is about the only thing I really don't like because the base that sits on the desk is an upside down chevron shape, which sticks out in front of the monitor a few inches. This makes putting it on a small desk where your keyboard would be in front of it a bit of a pain because the keyboard has to be pulled closer to me and just gets in the way to me. I managed to get around that by putting the monitor up on a little shelf I made out of a box and an old Laptop lap desk that I had. It perfectly raises the monitor by about 4-5 inches, and let's me push the keyboard further back to where I now have more room on my desk. (Images added to show the base and how I worked around the chevron styled base to give me more room). The monitor has one HDMI port and one Display Port. Now I am not familiar with the Display Port, but all my devices are HDMI, so plugging in a PC is simple. In fact, I have 3 MiniPC's that I need to connect to this monitor so I bought a 5 port HDMI switch. This allows me to easily switch between each MiniPC with just a click of a button. The picture on this monitor is absolutely phenomenal! Once I plugged in the HDMI plug, turned on the monitor, it automatically scanned for the signal which it found right away and WOW! What a gorgeous picture. The colors are very bright and vibrant. The dynamics between the Black and White colors are stunning and the color definition is very vivid. For never using a curved screen before on a computer monitor, I am very impressed. It almost immerses you in to the picture and almost gives it a extra dimensional view, almost 3D in nature... The thing I worried most about with a curved screen was is there going to be any distortion with a curved screen and I am happy to say. "Absolutely Not!". The images looks perfectly flat, but because of the curve, it pulls the outer edges our of your peripheral vision and closer to your focused view when looking straight forward. Learning how to use the toggle button on the back for adjusting the settings van take a bit of getting used to, however, at this point, I haven't really needed to use any of the options other then Sleep and Shut Down as the defaults seem to be perfect for my setup. Unfortunately this monitor does not have built in speakers however, if you have speakers connected to you computer or use a set of Bluetooth Speakers you will be just fine. Overall my impression of this monitor is fantastic! The picture quality is stunning, and the size with the curves screen is awesome. I would recommend this monitor to anyone who wants an excellent monitor for home or office at a more then reasonable price. While I have not used the monitor for gaming, I have used a monitor that has the same 4ms refresh rate and that has the same native resolution of1920 x 1080 and that monitor is over 10 years old and still holds up today, so I can only imagine that this monitor would be perfectly fine for today's games. I am definitely glad that I went ahead and purchased this monitor, and should I need to replace the monitor that I amusing as a secondary monitor, I will likely purchase another one of this model! Again, Highly recommended and over all this monitor gets a full 5 Stars from me! ~

Got this screen within one day, so great shipping. It is my first curved screen, and it feel natural. It is on my desk, I am sitting about 2 feet back and the screen looks great for gaming. Also, for work, the screen seems great, it is not too big, but big enough to have two files side by side. I wish it had more than one HDMI port and speakers. But for this price, I cant complain. I like it so much, I am considering buying a second one for dual screen as I do work from home a lot and need to have a few different programs running all at the same time. I use to only work off of my laptop and this is a game changer. Now, I need to buy a mouse and keyboard as having my laptop in from of me to control everything defeats the purpose.

I work from my home office as a software engineer so I'm in front of my screens practically all day. I bought 3, two for me and one for my wife. I replaced two 24" HP flat screens with these bad boys. These being my first curved screens, I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't like the curved effect (it seemed a bit gimmicky to me), however, I couldn't be happier. The brightness and clarity of these screens are also superior to my previous screens. I fiddled with brightness, sharpness, contrast but, in the end, I didn't have to tweak them all that much. The default settings are pretty nice. While these screens are larger, they still have a max resolution of 1920 x 1080 so don't expect a super fine HD quality image. They were a breeze to assemble. Just snap the base into the slot in the monitor. I like the stand itself. It's very low profile and leaves more space on my desk for my keyboard (wireless, illuminated, Logitech K800 - I suggest picking one up) and mouse (Microsoft wireless laser mouse 5000 - nothing fancy, gets the job done). When I bump my desk there is a bit of a wobble to the screens but it's not bad or very noticeable. Sometimes when I'm vigorously typing away, I will get a little wobble, but, again, I remain unperturbed. I was crossing my fingers (figuratively of course) when I pulled the screens from the box and examined them for damage. The surface of each of the three screens I purchased was in flawless shape and after getting them hooked up, I looked for any dead pixels, color lines, etc. that would be a no-go. I'm pleased to say that all three screens were in top shape. I primarily use Visual Studio and I found that I had to change the font from the default Consolas to another, finer, monotype font (I found a free one called Monofur that works perfectly at 12pt) in order to optimize font clarity and lines of code on the screen. With these screens Consolas at 12pt was way too big. And simply reducing the font made it ugly (pixelated, blocky, etc.) so I wanted something better. I'm not sure how well the screenshot will translate to your current screen but I've captured a little snippet to share how clear my screen looks to me. As for the curved effect, I was a bit concerned after reading other reviews, some of which go on about how terrible they are for spreadsheets. I'm not sure what that's all about since I find that these screens are ideal for looking at long lines of text across the screen for extended periods. When these screens are in front of you the curve itself is almost imperceptible. As I mentioned, I use two screens sitting side-by-side and I find that these perfectly wrap my work area in a more immersive way that my previous non-curved screens. My wife works on the other computer as an editor (so again lots of text and spreadsheets) and she absolutely loves it. The ONLY complaint I have at the moment is that when I sit these two screens adjacent to each other, the tops/bottoms don't line up perfectly. One edge is raised about 1/4" over the other. I haven't fiddled with the monitor positions too much to see if I can correct it since I don't really notice it while I'm working. I have a few thoughts on how to remedy it if it actually starts bothering me so I really can't complain. Overall, if you're looking for a nice upgrade to your current screen without breaking the bank, these screens will do the job nicely.

Needed to pick up a quick monitor replacement due to one of my two (flat) 24" Samsungs suddenly dying on me (have had them for a few years and typically use them 8-10 hrs/day). Was already thinking about upgrading my WFH set up to 27" curved monitors - so given the replacement situation I found myself in, I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on one of these inexpensive Samsung options. Delivery was same day with Prime, which is always a huge bonus. After installing it and dialing in the screen settings a bit, I'm generally happy with the performance and use I'm getting out of it...at least so far. I typically don't do any gaming or heavy movie/content watching from this particular set up, so the screen and picture quality are fine for my general work needs - I'm not in need of high dollar/high performance monitors. As long as this thing holds up over some time, I'll be purchasing another one to swap with the other 24" I'm still using. One note worth mentioning (not sure if others may have mentioned this), but if you're looking to mount this monitor on adjustable arms (not using the provided desk stand), you can do this; however, you'll need to pick up some spacers (not provided with monitor) so you can get the separation of space needed from the mounting bracket to the backside of the monitor - I used 1/2" spacers that I already had on-hand and they work fine. Some may see this as a pain in the neck, but it's an easy solution. It'd also be ideal if the portion of the desk stand on the back side wasn't permanently installed and was able to be removed, but is what it is - not a make or break for me...as long as the monitor functions properly, that's all I care about. Again, I can't speak to quality/performance when it comes to gaming or watching movies, but if you're looking for an cost friendly option to upgrade or if you find yourself in a similar situation that I did, I'd recommend this monitor.

If you're a gamer this set has some surprises! It has gaming mode! It works with AMD Freesync! It has onboard frame rate speedup. Lots of choices with a super easy menu and a super easy wiggle stick on the back. You wouldn't think the curve screen does much, but it does! It gives an amazing depth immersion that I really wasn't expecting. Color is crisp and black is true black. You can even tweak the black for a real picture of amazing. Curve also makes this set seem way bigger than it is! Gaming is amazing and even though it's not 4k you won't care because it's seriously amazing! Build quality is really nice and solid. It's 100% a Samsung and not some cheap junk with a big name badge. Some comments say it doesn't have speakers?!? Try turning the sound up by using the back controls! Seriously?!? It's got great sound! Doesn't have a remote and you cannot control the brightness from Windows. Doesn't have sneaky cameras or microphones, perfect. If you need them just buy a webcam, they are almost free nowadays. This is an incredible deal for such a good price! Gamer or not you will love this thing. It's got the style of an Apple product at 100th of the price. So many gamer cool options I don't understand why they don't sell it harder? Does it look cheap, no it's a real looker. Is it just okay? No it's brilliant! Can I play at 132434×4357544 and 6000 fps, no. Does 1920 x 1080 at 60 look amazing? YES! You can essentially overclock it using the menu! Buy one, I love mine! It's a solid workhorse for anything you want or need. Security minded people, it's a dumb set! Completely! Buy one!

I've had this monitor for about 3 years. I'm using it at this very moment, actually, to write this. I can't say I've used this too much for gaming, though I would if I had the PC for it. But I've done a ton of work on it (I'm a data analyst), and it's perfect for the really exciting things in life like Excel and Powerpoint. Jokes aside, it really is perfect for these. It has made working from home SO much more bearable. As for picture quality, I have no complaints. Everything seems nice and clear. It's not 4k, but I've watched movies on this plenty of times and been very happy with the image quality. Finally, brightness. It's very bright, and bright white at that. I've turned on the "eye saver" mode since I'm staring at excel all day. The eye save mode is very nice, and tones things down appropriately. That reminds me, the little know system to control menu options is actually really nice. It's a little joystick sort of thing on the back, so you've got left, right, up, and down, and you click it to select. Really simple, works perfectly. Anyway, I'm really happy with this, and I'm thinking about getting a second one, which is why I came back to this product page. OH! If you're going to use this monitor and a laptop, get a cheap laptop stand (they're like $20), otherwise your laptop screen will cover up part of the monitor. It's just a quality of life improvement, you can thank me later.

It's actually a little less than 27" on the desk. (because of its curve) I have it as my main screen, with a flat 22" in portrait both on a dual VESA mount. So yes, this 27" can be mounted. No speakers. I went from a large TV screen down to this for gaming. Its great! Super wide means ingames, i have a massive field of view, which helped ease my eyes and was less claustrophobic ingame being able to see around me in a FPS without turning and strafing to really see my surrounding. If you play any game that you think might look gorgeous, this will be a huge influence on end result. I do think this is worth the money for its size and value. the amount of time using it just makes it a great investment. I dont think ill use anything else as a main gaming screen. The curve did help see the corners of game screens better, like your ammo count, which fire fode or position youre in, or a mini map. Being curved, these off to the side parts are now facing directly at you. so no tilted text or glare there. Anything larger than this size using a curve, kinda defeats its purpose. the screen will be larger than your eyes FOV angle.

Este monitor ya está probado. Es muy bueno y el tamaño el ideal. Obvio sería mejor el de 49’ jeje. Tengo dos. Y ahora que me quede sin internet pude moverlo sin problemas a otra casa. La imagen es precisa y los colores los puedes manipular a la perfección. Usuaria de home office y trabajo online. No gamer.

Llevo 1 mes usándolo para trabajar y me ha funcionado bastante bien. Tamaño perfecto.

After 7 years I started getting a few lines in the display. I punched it so hard the back panel came off the display. After putting it back together it now works flawlessly as the first day I set it up. Not recommended repair technique but I was surprised at the quality

Je ne suis pas déçue de mon écran. Son prix est abordable et la qualité est au rendez-vous. L'image est très belle et le fait qu'il soit incurvé rend l'expérience de jeu plus agréable et immersive. Le pied manque de flexibilité (il en a aucune, à vrai dire), mais il s'agit pour moi d'un détail sans trop d'importance vu le prix.
