Plunging Samsung Quality!

Connected to PC with Nvidia GTX3080 multi monitor GPU - plenty of juice. Normal configuration is dual monitors with one in TV mode that I typically use to display Bloomberg TV while I trade, game, browse and work on the other - switching to PC use for true dual monitor. Ordered this monitor when my 32 inch Samsung G7 SIM gaming monitor (dedicated use) failed after practically no use over 2 years (sat idle). Immediately after receiving this monitor my primary desktop Samsung G7 failed. Different issues. The SIM monitor developed a series of bars across the bottom of the screen that made it impossible to see the Windows task bar. The second developed two dark-shaded areas across the screen in one day. Again, about 2 years use. Never would have ordered another Samsung had I known both would fail in less than 2 years. Every finger crossed on this monitor which will be my last Samsung. As for a review, it's slow to switch between Windows desktop, gaming and trading platforms - sometimes 3-4 seconds before the screen refreshes. A new glitch that seems to have started recently. When I switch from gaming to Windows desktop it's partially minimized (about 1/4 the screen for all tabs). When I try to maximize, it'll minimize, requiring a second step to maximize. Incredibly disappointed after a long, long history with Samsung phones and monitors. Quality has plunged. Definitely abandoning Samsung monitors and will give full consideration to leaving the Samsung brand with the next phone upgrade.
Black screen/turning on and off not even a full day after receiving. Just happy that this happened early on and not like that other guy, can easily return now and be done. Check the 5 star reviews and you'll see it has the "incentivized review".
The repair process offered nothing beneficial. Pack/Send the faulty product to get repaired all while getting no partial refund (or something at least) and having to wait? nah So much easier to return and get a full refund and spend money elsewhere.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Samsung Monitor daily for both work and entertainment. The sharp display and vibrant colors make it perfect for editing documents, watching movies, and occasional gaming. The adjustable stand and eye comfort mode help reduce strain during long hours. It’s a great all-around monitor that fits seamlessly into my setup and boosts my productivity.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] when i saw how big my monitor was i was amazed i didnt know it was going to be that big you know normally when u see things online u think their small in size but man was i wrong, the quality and the resolution is the best of any kind and personally i thought that the gaming and also the smart hub was an amazing feature personally i think it was the best financial decision i ever made thank you
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this monitor mainly for gaming, especially competitive titles like Valorant. The high refresh rate and response time make every movement smooth and ultra-responsive, which is a huge advantage in fast-paced matches. It has genuinely improved my aim consistency and overall gameplay experience. Whether you're grinding ranked or just playing casually, this monitor delivers really amazing performance for FPS games.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I first had the older Odyssey G7, I've since upgraded to the new one and I love it! I use it everyday or night I should say when I stream YouTube while I go to bed. It has a voice remote that recognizes commands so I can set my sleep timer and fall asleep while watching. I also play Call of Duty on my Xbox series X and the gaming features are amazing, I still have the Samsung monitor that I used before this but it wasn't 120 HZ and it makes such a huge difference. Saved me from having to buy a smart TV for my bedroom. 10/10
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high expectations for this monitor, it has met or exceeded all of them. The refresh rate is great, high resolution, and very compatible with all of the gaming I do. Highly recommend.
