Unacceptable matte finish
on May 6, 2025
Posted by: Donatello
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really struggle to understand how this product made it into the real world without anyone intervening. I own other Samsung screens, including an OLED TV, which has a glossy screen and is beautiful. With this monitor, however, they tried to use some sort of matte screen technology that leaves a very visible cloudy / smudgy appearance all over the screen. It is extremely visible any time you have white or other light-colored content on the screen, which for me is quite a lot. The whole purpose of buying a top-of-the-line OLED monitor like this for the excellent appearance of the screen, and yet this one looks worse than screens much cheaper. Unfortunately, I feel this one is a big miss by Samsung. Hopefully they learn from this, because I have a large number of Samsung screens and enjoy the ecosystem, especially the ability to calibrate the screens with my Samsung Galaxy phones.

Absolutely gorgeous display. Was waiting for an OLED 4K 240hz monitor and this is just gorgeous image quality and the monitor itself is so pretty. The perfect inky blacks you want from an OLED. Perfect pairing with a 5090!

Monitor Review
on April 24, 2025
Posted by: Messy14
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would’ve liked more luxury features for such an expensive monitor. DP 2.1 and KVM features would make the price worth it. A glossy finish would also be preferred

Amazing colors and quality too
on May 6, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this monitor for a while now, and I couldn't be happier with its performance. The display quality is absolutely stunning, offering vibrant colors and sharp details that make any visual content come to life. The resolution is crisp, and the refresh rate ensures smooth transitions, perfect for both work and gaming. The ergonomic stand allows for flexible adjustments, including vertical orientation, which is great for coding or reading long documents. Additionally, the build quality feels solid and premium. Overall, this monitor has significantly enhanced my productivity and entertainment experience. Highly recommended!

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.
