Great monitor

I've had this monitor for a month now and love it. Great picture, bright and sharp.
Viewing angles are nice. Menu is easy to navigate and the joystick style button is nice.
Stand is pretty decent, though if your desk is up against a wall you may have issues with the angled stand, but nothing that effects the overall quality of the product.

I would have given this 5 stars but in the last week the monitor has developed a raster line
across the top about 1/2 inch below frame. As i am recovering from back surgery i'm unable to exchange this for a new one.

I am very bummed that the line started as i love this monitor but understand this cant be foreseen, I just hope this is the only line that develops.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Inexpensive, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best gaming monitor ever
on February 18, 2017
Posted by: Dj17
Expertise:Expert
I just received this monitor I have to say it is the best computer monitor I have ever owned. The 1ms response time and 144mhz refresh rate is amazing. Coming from a 24 inch TN panel at 60mhz I can not truly describe how incredible this difference is.(Note that you must use the display port to achieve anything above 60mhz --- The DP cable is included :) ).
The Quantom Dot technology delivers colors that are super vibrant and pop off of the screen. Screen tearing is a thing of the past with this 144mhz 1ms beauty. The colors are incredibly accurate and very rich. The contrast ratio of 3000:1 is a thing of beauty. The dark colors are outstanding with no back light bleeding, even the IPS panels are no match.
The on screen display is very intuitive and well designed. The ability to save 3 profiles
for games or movies and everyday computing is a nice touch coupled with the built in gaming
profiles. The curved monitor is great, it really draws you in as well as saving desk space.

Set up was very simple and the stand is very sturdy and very flexible in allowing you to easily raise and lower, swivel as well as rotate. It comes with an extra bracket if you want to attach it onto a wall mount.
In conclusion this is hands down the best monitor you can buy. The Quantom Dot technology
is absolutely unreal and a must have. Well done Samsung.

Buggy and poor quality all over

I bought this monitor just over a year ago and it's given me a bevy of problems.
First off, I would like to clarify that none of these problems are due to my graphics card (as I've used several ones) or my cord (also tried both multiple HDMI and DP cables).
- Randomly after long periods of use and especially under load the screen will glitch causing darks to go completely blue. So that means anywhere it's dark there will be blue patches like crazy. Only restarting the monitor solves this.
- If using Freesync, after rebooting my PC the monitor has to be restarted or it will unable to find the display-in.
- Lighting on the right edge is terrible causing washed out colors along it.
- I'm now getting blue and green ghosting in grey areas. Like scrolling in dark-mode Reddit will cause vertical blue and green ghosting like crazy.
- My taskbar has a habit of burning in.

Also the stand is the most cumbersome design I've ever used despite allowing more movement freedom.
Overall this thing is so terribly glitchy and poor quality that I would steer clear of getting it.
Go with the updated sister model CFG73 instead!!!!!! It is literally the exact same panel/mainboard but none of these problems! They must have updated the components to fix these issues.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

144hz Defective
on November 7, 2019
Posted by: Fmc333
Expertise:Expert
I had purchased this monitor in may of 2017. There is a lack of support for 144hz despite the model being a 144hz monitor. I am experiencing artifacts when using 144hz refresh rate, and unfortunately Samsung did not request a recall on the monitor despite the defects associated with this model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
