Not Designed with the Consumer in Mind

Forced Features and problems with regular input switching make this not-ideal for gaming.
Samsung: If i ever have to put my controller down in the middle of a competitive match to dismiss a message from my monitor, which blocks part of my screen for extended periods, then it fails at its main job of being a PC monitor.
I do not want to use your apps. I have a COMPUTER. I need a monitor with a "I am using this as a monitor" mode.
Switching inputs regularly also results in both inputs resulting in a black screen. The solution is the to unplug for 60 seconds.
The delay between "Dismiss message a" and "confirmation B' appears also causes me to put the remote down, resume my game, and have to reach for it again = lose the match.
PS: This form the only place I have ever seen where letters randomly disappear from my previous word as I type. Why are you sending a network request every time I type a letter that's INSANE and causes HUGE problems where it is desyncing my words because I type more quickly than your "networks.a-.bazaarvoice.com" API calls can run. Put them on a timer for a "dirty" form maybe this is hard to type.
This is so frustratingly bad UX, which checks out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A very frustrating piece of hardware

Let's get this out of the way, first. This is a very beautiful monitor when it works as expected. No issues with the screen quality itself.
Now to the bad parts that have made buying this monitor a bit of a regret:
- The monitor frequently either 'shorts out' in a way that it goes black for a few seconds (not at all ideal for competitive gaming), or decides to switch inputs for some reason. Have tried with multiple cables, same issue
- The monitor being 'smart' is actually a GIGANTIC headache, as instead of just opening straight to my PC screen (like any other monitor would when that's the only thing connected to it). Instead it opens to Home and Samsung TV, greatly slowing down the ability to just turn the PC on and go
- Ever since having this monitor plugged into my desktop, the desktop won't complete a startup on the first boot. It works every time on the second boot for some reason, and this never ever happens with another monitor.

Again, it's great when it works, but it is VERY frustrating to have a monitor just cut out on you or not key into the one machine it's plugged directly into. Do not buy this or other 'smart monitors' if you want to avoid that.
