This is great monitor but for sure not for work . My eyes gone bad after using it for 2 hr & also started headache too. The fonts are very tiny/ blurry & hard to read after sometime. For sure this will be great for gaming or streaming . If you are looking productive , look for something else . I was super exited to get this monitor. 1st time moving from 27” setup to this, setup was clean & less wires . But unfortunately had to return because of above reason .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the 49 inch wide screen gaming monitor to game & also to work from home when required as it easily replaces 3 of my office monitors into 1. It had some issues with port connectivity at first but future software updates fixed the issues. A solid monitor for gaming & productivity and watching movies. The display clarity and refresh rate is really good bit on the shiny side, and not having anti Reggie reflective coating hurts a little.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this monitor to replace my broken one. I decided I wanted something higher end not just bare minimum as I've usually done. The dual display was what initially caught my attention. I use this in our RV and at home for gaming. It's great to not need multiple screens for things as I had in the past when home gaming. It's been great in our RV as my husband and I can each use it together. While I'm streaming from my handheld gaming console and he's playing Playstation it's been pretty great during our travels to have one display that works for multiple things.
My complaints, the provided remote is kinda annoying it's far too sensitive and tends to constantly have accidental input. It's also semi frustrating to get the dual display up and going. Make sure you have the patience to go through the setup each time. Not very user friendly and intuitive. These are the reason I've taken off a star. Over all still far better than all my previous monitors.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The monitor offers an expansive display that truly immerses you in your games. Its vibrant colors and exceptional contrast ratios make visuals pop with stunning realism. The high refresh rate and fast response time deliver incredibly smooth and responsive gameplay. Furthermore, the monitor's curved design helps create a more engaging and comfortable viewing experience for extended use. Overall, it is a great choice for gamers looking to elevate their setup. P.s i highly recommend.
This is a fantastic monitor for productivity. While I don't use it for gaming, as a software engineer and video content editor, I truly appreciate its high resolution and refresh rate, particularly when editing 4K content. The curvature is more subtle than my previous 49-inch monitor, which conveniently frees up more desk space in front.
The included remote is very handy; however, I wish it had a dedicated KVM-style button to switch between inputs. I have both my personal and work PCs connected, and switching between them requires navigating to the Home screen and then to Connected Devices every time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it not just for gaming streaming but I also use it for movies and work. And schoolwork, not only is it easy on the eyes, but also the gaming graphics are absolutely and completely sharp and undeniably vibrant and very smooth.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me first start off by saying this is my first OLED panel and ultra-wide monitor! It is truly the best viewing experience when it comes to browsing, web development, video editing, and especially gaming.
I love coming home and just watching movies on this monitor. It is hard to get the same experience anywhere else because of how much I spoiled myself with this monitor. I truly, after using it, never want to use another brand other than Samsung monitors. The OLED makes the colors stand out so well, and I still say after almost a year of using it still get blown away when looking at it.
The fact that the monitor looks that good and I can get 240 Hz out of it is WILD! To be able to have the competitive edge and quality is insane! I never could get the quality out of my games, movies, or any media for that matter until I got this monitor, and I truly will never go back to a 16:9 panel unless it was a Samsung monitor. It really helps me when I work from home, and it helps me with productivity and has helped me not need a second monitor. I am a content creator, and when streaming, it is amazing that I can have 5 things happening all at once on one monitor rather than having multiple and not feel like I need the extra peripherals.
Overall, I am just impressed with what I didn't know how much I would get the use out of the monitor and now it' better than any other monitor I have use previously and I prefer ultra-wide over normal 16:9 panels any day! Ultimately satisfied!
