The monitor switching is sorely lacking
on March 23, 2020
Posted by: DrStar
from USA
Expertise:Expert
I love just about everything about this monitor, EXCEPT I have major annoyance every time I need to switch my input. It will cycle through empty inputs (like now I have on HDMI and DisplayPorts inputs hooked up), but it cycles through both USB-C inputs every time, and then it will often hang there, so I have to go back into the menu, do 2 pushes, and then wait. I wish I could either disable checking for some inputs so it will just always skip them or it were smarter/faster about checking. SUPER ANNOYING!

Saving my neck
on August 2, 2019
Posted by: INFORMATICS NURSE
from Minnesota
Expertise:Expert
This screen has been a life saver for my neck and back. Prior to this I had 3 separate monitors that forced me to look and operate in positions that have increased my neck pain. This monitor allows me to look straight a head and be able to see all the information I need without turning my head. The KVM switch is effective and I have not had an issue with it. The only thing that I would like to see more DP ports.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Challenges working with 2 computers
on January 19, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
from Camarillo, CA
Expertise:Intermediate
Over all the monitor is very good. Having a singular screen that is 43" wide and the ability to have 2 computers using one monitor is very nice. That being said, I have trouble when I turn on the monitor to get the monitor to recognize both computers. Computer #1 is connected via the display port connector and computer #2 is connected via the powered USB type-C. I don't know if there is a startup sequence that I should be following but eventually get it to work if I boot up computer #1 (connected to the DP) and they boot up computer #2 (USBC) and then play with restarting #2/connecting/disconnecting the USBC cable form the laptop #2. Eventually I can get the monitor to recognize both devices when using the source switch to switch between devices. Once I get the monitor to recognize both all is good unless I turn off the monitor and in that case I am back to the trial/error process to get the monitor to see both devices. Would welcome any words of wisdom as to how to get this to work without trial/error.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sweet! Enjoying it

I bought this on 12 May. I was contemplating the 49 inch. The 43 inch is wide enough for me. I’m able to open and view multiple documents at once. This is especially import for spreadsheets. This may not be ideal for gamers but I’m not a gamer. So if you need more space to work, I recommend consider this model. I’m happy with my purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Looks Nice, But...
on July 26, 2020
Posted by: THXTHX
Expertise:Expert
Features are not that great if you can't get them to work. The short cut buttons don't work, my screen was popping out of the frame, the setting menu options are incorrectly labelled and the manual does not actually describe how to connect the monitor in a way that makes it work (eg: it does not discuss the incorrectly labelled settings you need to adjust for connecting a USB-C cable). Good luck...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not as advertised, nice but disappointing
on June 1, 2020
Posted by: cab16
from Boston, MA
Expertise:Expert
The set-up was not easy and not well explained. I spent an hour on Samsung chat yesterday with 3 different agents trying to figure out how to use the USB hub and looking for an explanation on why my computer cannot connect to the USB PC-In port. The monitor stand is so huge that the monitor stands out about 12" from the wall, so I had to move my desk, and now this massive monitor is too close to me. The speakers are also underwhelming.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best Productivity Monitor on the Market
on November 20, 2018
Posted by: bamu
from Ann Arbor, MI
Expertise:Expert
Purchased this monitor for undergraduate coding and engineering workstation. The compatibility between systems is incredible.
PROS: I am able to charge my laptop and phone through two usb-c cords, display out from the laptop and desktop at the same time. Star Citizen plays at 60+ FPS on build 3.3, and may be the most beautiful digital experience I've ever witnessed.
CONS: When using headphones in-direct to the monitor there is a slight while. Could be bad contacts, but using the headphones with either the desktop or laptop directly does not replicate the noise. 21:10 is a crazy aspect ratio. If you are using this, it's because you really enjoy ultra-wide. Expect content for common ratios to play a little wonky every once in a while.
OTHER: The KVM switch is great, though as many people know the switch is not instantaneous. I find myself switching between source, while paired to both the keyboard and mouse to be the most effective use.
