Great 4K Monitor

I purchased this monitor to connect to my 15" MacBook Pro and replace my 5K iMac. Quality seems great and similar to the iMac when scaled properly. Had issues getting 60Hz to work over HDMI, then I realized that 60Hz is only supported on DisplayPort or HDMI 2. You cannot use 4K 60Hz on HDMI 1.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought a 24" UHD Samsung monitor to replace my old Samsung 24" LED monitor. I'm limited on desktop space and it fit my area nicely. Good sturdy monitor stand, brig picture, fast response times for gaming. Only negative about this monitor is the controls are in a joystick format which takes a bit of getting used to.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Inexpensive
Cons: joystick control for monitor options on back
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good monitor poor design

bought this monitor to add to my upgraded mac system. monitor is quite good by found a few issues down the track. i bought a dual mounting arm to attach the monitor only to find the mounting screws holes are at the top of the monitor, this means that the monitor would not lift any higher than it would with the stand. also when the computer is in sleep mode the monitor will turn on for about 10 seconds and then turn off again, this happens about once an hour so i have turn the monitor off when i am not using the computer. to turn off the monitor you need to use the press the toggle inconveniently at the back of the monitor and toggle to the off position and enter, this is really awkward. samsung could not assist with this issue. i would expect better design from samsung.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good image quality but everything else is a mess

The VESA adapter is so on the top of the monitor to being completely useless: it was a PITA to find a monitor holder that could hang them.
The screen seems not sealed so two little insects crawled INSIDE the monitor and I have them under my eyes all the day without any possibility to take them out.
Under Linux with the Display Port I'm unable to use 4K resolution at 60Hz: for some unknown reason it supports only 30hz at that resolution, so I'm forced to use HDMI,
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pure Visual Excellence

What do you buy a monitor for .? You want a visual experience that is great. This monitor exceeds my expectations. Keep in mind that most users are going to use this monitor for 4-7 hours a day.
While building my system the most important is (eye candy) i want to be able to look at my monitor that is easy on my eyes and has great visuals. I have used this monitor with the onboard hdmi and display port on my Asus 1080ti video card. Both are very easy to watch and use. Gaming graphics @ 4k is stunning and with the 1ms response time it makes the games the best experience I have had.
The negative. The Vesa mount is 75mm standard , however it is offset. It is located at the top ,instead of the middle. I use multiple monitors and have a desk mount to support dual monitors and they cannot be side by side due to the mount difference. however if you just use it on the desk , the adjustments that can be made are very extensive. Planning on buying 2 more very soon.
One other thing, The power supply is external and can be replaced if you have a power line problem. So a new power supply instead of sending it somewhere for repair, if that ever comes up.
I will get another monitor very soon to replace the other monitor I use , then the VESA issue will be corrected.
For the price point you really can not do any better. And in some instances you can more and still come up short in quality.

Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Built-in speakers, streaming quality, audio from source, separate external power supply
Cons: vesa mount style

Great Product! A Few Things to Note!

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon R9 290X
Overall this is an excellent monitor at a great price! A few things to note:
-Be sure to use a DisplayPort 1.2 connection for full 4K at 60Hz (HDMI only does 30Hz). Don't forget to install the driver included on the CD as well, or from the Samsung website.
-If you use Catalyst Control Center, be sure to set the refresh rate to 60Hz if you want 10-bit color. The 64Hz setting restricts you to 8-bit color.
-There is no DisplayPort 1.2 driver available for Windows 10 as of the date of this review. This isn't a huge issue but I have experienced some flickering when I have light colors on one side of the screen and dark colors on the other. Some blogs recommend going into the Device Manager and navigating to 'View>Show hidden devices', and then deleting old monitor drivers if present. I can't comment on the effectiveness of this, but thought it should be noted.
-It took me hours to get AMD's FreeSync feature working, as the option wasn't showing up in my graphics software (Catalyst Control Center). After updating all of the drivers and at the end of my rope, I simply unplugged the cable and plugged it back in. Sure enough, that did the trick. Of course. Be sure to go into the monitor's OSD and select FreeSync>On.
-I enjoy 'Game Mode' with AMD FreeSync for video and gaming, but keeping 'Game Mode' on allows you to only adjust the brightness of the screen. You will need to adjust the color profile in your graphics software or elsewhere if you have 'Game Mode' on, not from the monitor's OSD. If you're a graphic designer or photographer, I would recommend a third-party color calibrator for more accurate colors.
Pros: Inexpensive, Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: a few technical things to work through
I would recommend this to a friend!
