Huge Oversight By Samsung
on April 26, 2025
Posted by: Kcollins7
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent monitor but it has some glaring weaknesses that never should have been allowed. The panel is capable of 4K 240 Hz but Samsung didn't put in DP 2.1 so it's impossible to hit that resolution and refresh rate without DSC (Display Stream Compression). Even the HDMI 2.1 ports only allows 4K at 144 Hz at most without compression. How this monitor was allowed to be so over spec'd but not have the necessary port bandwidth is a huge oversight. Which sucks because this thing is just about perfect otherwise. The matte screen helps with glare so much more than other comparable OLED screens. Everything is crisp and beautiful with the pixel density offered at 4K 27" screen size. If DP 2.0 can be enabled via a firmware update of some kind then I think Samsung definitely needs to do it. And also someday swallowing their pride and making their TVs and monitors Dolby Vision compatible.
I'm still keeping this for now because it's a big improvement over my current IPS monitor but if another company released a matter screen with DP 2.1 I would be abandoning this monitor.

I like it a lot

This is my 3rd 27" OLED monitor and by far the best. Here are some pros and cons.
Pros:
First 4K 27" OLED panel with high refresh rate on the market.
Finally no text clarity issues due to unusual sub pixel layout like predecessors used to have.
It's thin and light and partially made out of metal therefore feels premium.
Cons:
No KVM that would be very useful for productivity.
No USB-C to connect and charge your laptop with just one cable.
USB type-A cable wasn't included in the box, that's unusual.

Brand New 27 Oled
on April 25, 2025
Posted by: DoughDoubler
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded to the Samsung 27-inch OLED Gaming Monitor 4K, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I powered it on, the stunning display quality truly blew me away. The OLED panel delivers perfect blacks, vibrant colors, and incredible contrast that bring games and movies to life like never before.
The 4K resolution ensures every detail is crisp and sharp, making even the most intricate game environments feel incredibly immersive. The 27-inch size strikes the perfect balance—large enough for immersive gameplay, yet compact enough to fit comfortably on my desk.
The monitor's refresh rate and response time are optimized for gaming, providing smooth, lag-free visuals that give me an edge in fast-paced titles. The visuals are buttery smooth, and motion handling is exceptional, reducing blur and ghosting. The color accuracy and depth are also impressive for content creation and media consumption.
Design-wise, it’s sleek and modern, with slim bezels and a sturdy stand that looks fantastic on my desk. The build quality feels premium, and the user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate.
Overall, this Samsung OLED Gaming Monitor 4K has truly elevated my gaming setup. Whether you're a serious gamer, a content creator, or an entertainment enthusiast, this monitor is a game-changer. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best in visuals and performance.

The colors are really nice.
The software can be a little better, maybe custom modes can be added back into the line up.

The lighting and color is Best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Id recomend this monitor to everyone. I have used it alot and not once has it dulled or changed contrast. I not only use it for gaming but i use it for streaming and over sees phone calls for skype and wow my 360 go pro plays remarkable on it. It might be a little pricy but every penny is worth it. I hope other people are having the same experience as me..
