[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great resolution. Clear sharp picture. It makes you feel like you're in the screen. Colors really pop and the clarity is out of this world. Definitely unmatched in my opinion. I've never seen such a great picture. Definitely get your money's worth you won't be disappointed with this purchase.

Fix for Thunderbolt + Mac issue
on August 29, 2026
Posted by: VenB
This is a great productivity monitor, that said I had the same issue with my 40” Samsung S85TH on Mac - Thunderbolt would connect briefly, then drop, and my Wi-Fi would also stop working.
What fixed it for me was this exact sequence:
1. Connect Ethernet from your router/switch directly to the LAN port on the S85TH.
2. Connect the Mac to the monitor over Thunderbolt.
3. On the Mac, go to System Settings > Network.
4. Find the Ethernet/LAN connection and make sure it is actually enabled and active. This step was important for me - just plugging Ethernet into the monitor was not enough.
5. If available in the monitor settings, set USB priority to favor data/high speed rather than display quality.
6. Power-cycle the monitor and reconnect Thunderbolt if needed.

6. Power-cycle the monitor and reconnect Thunderbolt if needed.
After I enabled the LAN connection in macOS, my Thunderbolt connection became stable and the monitor started working properly again as a one-cable setup.
I can’t say this is a confirmed universal fix, but if you’re seeing the same Thunderbolt dropout + Wi-Fi issue, it’s definitely worth trying before returning the monitor.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for Both Productivity and Gaming!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung S85TH is a fantastic productivity monitor and has really changed the way I organize my workspace. There’s enough screen space here that I can almost treat different parts of the screen like separate monitors, making multitasking much more fluid as I find myself spending less time looking for a lost window or fiddling with open applications. For example, when I’m coding I can comfortably fit my editor, terminal, documentation, and even a browser all on one screen!
The built-in KVM switch is also something I appreciate as I often split my time between my laptop and desktop. Instead of needing to rely on a bulky external switch, I have my keyboard, mouse, webcam, etc. connected directly to the monitor and I can switch between my systems within seconds. It’s worked flawlessly so far and I haven’t encountered any issues waking either device from sleep, which I know can be an issue with some KVM solutions.
On my desk, I ended up putting the S85TH on a monitor arm and, despite its size, mounting it was actually pretty straightforward. It has the standard VESA mounting points and, provided your monitor arm is rated for its weight, I think it's the ideal way to use it as it frees up a lot of desk space and allows you to easily adjust the monitors position if you shift how you sit at your desk often like I do.
While marketed primarily as an office display, this monitor also has some serious gaming chops, provided you have a beefy enough GPU. The 144 Hz refresh rate allows for fluid and fast gameplay while the Freesync Premium VRR keeps the image stable during frame rate fluctuations. However, even if you don’t plan to game with this,, that higher refresh rate is immediately noticeable even when I’m just browsing the web or working on an Excel sheet. Side by side with my other monitor, which is 60 Hz, it feels far far smoother and more responsive. I don’t think I can go back to a lower refresh rate after this!
I would recommend this to a friend!
