Not worth the price.

Horrible UI. Incredibly slow and unresponsive most of the time, at least in monitor mode. This machine wants to be a monitor and tv and doesn't do particularly well at either in my opinion. Even just adjusting the volume can take upwards of three minutes to respond when using the provided remote or the buttons on the monitor. My only solution has been to unplug the device, plug it back in, it then prompts a screen optimization run which turns the display off and can take 10 minutes or so before it comes back to life and responds quicker for a while.
Actual color quality is great though.

Other than Gaming this do great in Productive too
on May 6, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I primarily use this monitor for productivity tasks, such as video editing and multitasking research. I particularly appreciate its ability to open three different windows simultaneously. These windows are dedicated to email, work, and YouTube. The monitor’s color display is also fantastic, significantly better than my old TN monitor. The OLED display offers a wider color range. I’ve been using this monitor daily since last Thanksgiving holiday, and I haven’t encountered any color burn-in issues that commonly occur in older OLED devices. Samsung has done an excellent job of preventing such problems. I discovered that by rotating images with extra pixels around the monitor’s edges, It can avoid color burn-in. I wouldn’t have known this without careful observation. Overall, this monitor is one of my favorite that I’ve ever owned.

I can't stop looking at it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely the best monitor I've purchased. The OLED panel is just amazing. Side by side with my previous 1080p monitors makes them look like antiques.
The USB hub is very convenient if you use any devices on more than one computer. The built-in streaming and smart things features is extremely cool and better than my fire stick tv's.
I mainly write code on this monitor and really appreciate the deep deep black. Gaming on my xbox series x is super smooth, too.
You can't beat the build and picture quality for this price point - get it!!

Almost perfect
on October 1, 2025
Posted by: BusinessCasualGaming
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let's get the only negative out of the way first: the tizen OS for this monitor leaves a LOT to be desired. Changing inputs is more difficult than it should be. The monitor switching to the chosen input feels very sluggish. If given the option, choose the non-smart model.
Ok, now the fun stuff:
The picture is absolutely gorgeous! This looks as good as my LG OLED. The refresh rate is next tier! No screen tearing, due to gsync compatibility. Effectively zero input lag. It's absolutely bananas. There is so much screen real estate that I can work on three tasks simultaneously. Text is bold and clear, which was a very nice surprise. After almost a year of ownership, not a trace of burn in to be found. I gave this 4 stars, since 4.5 wasn't an option.

Tl/Dr - if you're on the fence, just buy it. You won't be disappointed. Although, be prepared to drop some money on an upgraded graphics card. My 4070 TI super wasn't quite cutting it, so I had to drop some mad money on a 1590 just to make sure I could put the monitor through its paces.

Great Moniter for Productivity, But...

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 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.

Not Designed with the Consumer in Mind

Forced Features and problems with regular input switching make this not-ideal for gaming.
Samsung: If i ever have to put my controller down in the middle of a competitive match to dismiss a message from my monitor, which blocks part of my screen for extended periods, then it fails at its main job of being a PC monitor.
I do not want to use your apps. I have a COMPUTER. I need a monitor with a "I am using this as a monitor" mode.
Switching inputs regularly also results in both inputs resulting in a black screen. The solution is the to unplug for 60 seconds.
The delay between "Dismiss message a" and "confirmation B' appears also causes me to put the remote down, resume my game, and have to reach for it again = lose the match.
PS: This form the only place I have ever seen where letters randomly disappear from my previous word as I type. Why are you sending a network request every time I type a letter that's INSANE and causes HUGE problems where it is desyncing my words because I type more quickly than your "networks.a-.bazaarvoice.com" API calls can run. Put them on a timer for a "dirty" form maybe this is hard to type.
This is so frustratingly bad UX, which checks out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
