Not for MAC users

I bought this monitor primarily to use with my 2017 Mac Book Pro. I know this monitor doesn't have Thunderbolt, but I wanted the larger screen size that isn't available in the Samsung Thunderbolt monitor. The display does work with the Mac book through Display Port over USB-C. The problem is if the Mac book ever goes to sleep, it can be a challenge to get the display to detect an input again. This can be very frustrating when you are trying to use your Mac book and the display won't come up. I have had to do everything from change the USB-C port on my mac book to completely reboot to get the display to recognize the input.
Also for some reason the USB-C port doesn't always provide the power needed to charge the Mac Book. It works most of the time, but occasionally the Wattage drops and the Mac Book starts draining the battery. To be sure my Mac Book won't run out of power, I need to connect the Mac charger also.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

3 in 1 screen = success!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I still remember late 2012 when I upgrade my system to 2 screens system and how it effected my productivity as I'm working from home and use my PC system for 8-10 hours a day for work.
After receiving this screen I will never forget late 2018 because that is a huge step forward!
This Samsung wide-screen can act as 3 screens side by side so you can have 3 different desktops in one screen. That option is the one I like and use constantly.
The 2nd feature of the screen I like is eye saver mode. This mode cut blue light emission. I find it very important as I work a lot during night-time.
The 3rd feature I find useful is the ability to connect 2nd computer (in my case - laptop) and use the screen as 2 - 24" screens side by side.
The price of the screen is a little steep but worth it and I would recommend everyone to buy it if you are in the market for 2 or more high-end screens.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Monitor will not wake up from sleep mode

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The monitor looks great, and I love the versatility of having 43" of screen real estate. It has one *terrible flaw*
Oftentimes when I lock my computer / it goes into sleep mode the monitor will NOT wake up along with my computer. I have to *physically unplug* the monitor and plug it back in.
I've been crossing my fingers for a firmware update or SOMETHING that will stop this from happening. If it wasn't for that, it would be 5 stars!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Superb Monitor
on December 21, 2018
Posted by: Rustytooth
from KY / USA
Expertise:Expert
Where to begin, 4k display 60hz / 100hz / 120hz with more than enough screen to easily support multi tasking projects.
Like the other 4 Samsung Monitors this one arrived with 0 dead pixels, no screen bleed and in perfect condition, Set up was easy, hardest part was moving it from the Living Room (where I unpacked and inspected it) to the Master Bedroom (where it was installed) Its a bit heavy which can be expected and a little cumbersome.
If you want the highest quality, best ratted and most value for your dollar, Then I would strongly suggest the 43" CJ890 Ultra-Wide, You simply wont find a better product. Eye Saver is just that, I have a small 3 piece speaker system so those I disabled immediately. The on panel button controller might take a moment to get use to.
The only thing that I didn't like about this was the 1yr warranty, With that said I do own several other Samsung Monitors the oldest one is (Estimated) 8yrs old and to this day I have had 0 problems with it, Its just dated resolution wise.
TY for another solid Monitor!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wonderful monitor!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The picture quality of this monitor is excellent. The colors are beautiful. The speakers are built into the monitor. They're not very good at bass, but one could hardly expect them to be for their size. The clarity is great and easy to read. I've never had a monitor this size. I really like it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Surrounded by the Samsung 43” CJ890
on November 26, 2018
Posted by: Anonymous
from Austin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung 43” CJ890 Super Ultra-Wide Curved Monitor is an impressive display. I find it easy to use the work area in three different sections. It is well-sized for having a full-page presentation slide next to a full-page text document and running a browser or mail application. All at the same time. The visual impact of moving an application window feels like the application window is on the inside of a glass sphere. Fully-immersed is an apt expression of the experience – very different than staring at our small mobile devices.
I am reviewing this product as an Insider… Assembly was a piece of cake and the box protected the unit really well. The USB-C output has a 95-Watt charge capability, so my computer draws power from the display. I put my white PC charger in the closet and reduced clutter; though, I have had to get accustomed to the charging capability going away when the display is turned off.
I like the additional outputs on the display, very simple to charge a mobile device, plug in a keyboard, etc. and the removable backside panel hides it all very well. Even my 4K webcam sits on top with more stability than my old 28” display.
The device is certified with Windows and worked flawlessly with my two MBPs – something I had concerns about. The speakers are surprisingly good for a display, though I realized that some of my PC USB-C outputs apparently don’t support audio out.
Eye saver mode looks softer and less crisp; but I strongly prefer the mode – having learned that our eyesight is easily compromised by too much blue light and not enough healing long-wavelength near-infrared.
This is my new favorite display and it is all because of the experience of the curved immersive experience. Now I need one for the office!

Wide Screen Bliss
on December 19, 2018

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this monitor for over 2 weeks now and it has been an absolute pleasure so far, not all is perfect about it but it's very small issues. I am still in awe looking at videos or booting up a video game and seeing all this real estate. The picture quality is also fantastic, nothing top notch but it’s perfectly suited for whatever your needs are. It's simple to use and set up. The biggest problem I had was moving my other monitors around to have a large setup. I love that it has built-in speakers, they aren't that great but it's nice to not use headphones sometimes.
Pros:
- Super widescreen, no need for 2 monitors next to each other and not divide or space between.
- Very Bright and colorful screen
- Has its own KVM built-in
- Has its own “monitor split” to use another device like a laptop for half of the screen for you pc and one for your other device
- Very solid quality built as expected from Samsung.
- The mount is solid and easy to use even one handed.
- Has a lot of ports in the back

Cons:
- Price is still high, you could still probably find 2 great monitors for cheaper than just one of these
- Although it has a lot of ports in the back, they aren’t enough, One HDMI, one display port, 2 USB C, 1 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0. For Something that mocks 2 monitors, it should a least have 2 HDMI or 2 Display ports I feel.
- Not all things look good super wide, a lot of programs still aren’t built with support for it in mind and just looks super stretched out.
- The built-in speakers aren’t going to please audiophiles
- Super heavy screen and instructions to put together might not be for everyone and is very basic
