Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use my computer for both work and for gaming. My job virtually requires either an ultrawide or two screens, and I have found 21:9 1440p to be the sweet spot for both productivity and entertainment. I previously had a used Viotek curved display of the same size and resolution, but replaced it with this because colors and contrast were severely limited and the backlight was very inconsistent and splotchy in places. This Samsung is significantly sharper, with great color accuracy and contrast. Samsung claims 72% NTSC gamut, which is roughly equivalent to 99% sRGB, and while I have no instruments to confirm this, colors do look very vibrant. Viewing angles are also quite nice for a VA panel as well. My computer is in a room that does not get a lot of natural light, so it’s plenty bright to serve my needs. Samsung states that minimum brightness is 250 nits and “typical” is 300, so it’s difficult to determine what the maximum is. However, the backlight appears to be very consistent to my eyes and. HDR content doesn’t exactly “wow,” given the somewhat low brightness measurement, but the support is much appreciated. As long as the display is not in an overly bright location, such as facing a window with sunlight coming through, it should be very viewable. Gaming and entertainment performance is generally quite solid, as well. “Game” mode with the fastest response time produces a very crisp, bright, vibrant image with very little lag or blur at higher framerates. 100hz is a fairly slow refresh rate for gaming, but large, ultrawide, high resolution monitors are typically better suited to immersive single player experiences rather than competitive gameplay. With Freesync enabled on an AMD GPU, 60-100 FPS gaming is very smooth and looks fantastic. This is a good budget choice if you prioritize good color reproduction, size, and FOV over raw performance. On the subject of FOV: I prefer a wider FOV on a flat over a curved display, because the curvature seems to emphasize lens distortion at your peripheral vision and appears more natural on a flat display. Note that some games still don’t take full advantage of ultrawide resolutions, so be forewarned that there may be visual oddities. Older games that don’t support 21:9 may appear very, very stretched in fullscreen mode and may require being run in a window instead. Just something to be aware of if you primarily play older games. 1080p and 1440p 16:9 video also looks just fine on this display, although it understandably cannot use all of the screen real estate. If your needs are for competitive gaming, console gaming, or film/video content, then I would steer towards a 16:9 display with a higher refresh rate. Longevity remains to be seen, but I have no reason to predict any issues with this display within the next 5-10 years based on my experience with other Samsung displays. Overall, it’s a solid multi-use display that looks great doing just about anything at a great price.

I am thoroughly impressed with this monitor! The size is perfect, offering an immersive viewing experience without overwhelming my desk space. The picture quality is simply outstanding—vivid colors, sharp details, and deep contrasts make everything look fantastic. One of the standout features for me is the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) functionality. It allows me to multitask effortlessly, making my workflow much more efficient. The high refresh rate is another highlight, providing smooth visuals that are especially noticeable during fast-paced activities. Connectivity is a breeze, particularly with my Mac. The monitor integrates seamlessly, and setting it up was hassle-free. Overall, this monitor combines top-tier performance with user-friendly features, making it a fantastic investment.

Love everything about this display from picture quality, build quality, size, functions/features, and price. I am not gaming on this monitor so 100Hz was good enough for its current use. Just wished that this model came curved, but what more can you ask for, for its price and Black Friday deal. Very happy and satisfied with this purchase!

Screen is great quality. Just plugged it in and started it up with no hassle. Love having multiple windows up without it feeling cramped. I was going to go with a dual monitor setup by it's self but this is so great on it's own! I've been recommending it to everyone.

I bought this monitor for my brand new work computer build so I can do all of my work on a bigger picture instead of being stuck to 1920x1080 resolution like I did with my old Acer Aspire Z3-615 AIO computer. Me using LG monitors which all of them from the past 3 years are still going strong, this is my first time trying out Samsung monitors and I've not been disappointed with the QC. No backlight bleeding nor dead pixels out of the box. It has great colors and the 1440p resolution is great for having two windows open without your screen being so cramped up when windows are on two sides left and right compared to 1080p resolution where it was cramped up to me.

This is an excellent monitor for the price! I have it connected to a MacBook Air 15" and it worked out of the box using a simple USB C to HDMI 2.1 cable. That said, you have to use BetterDisplay to get a more complete list of resolutions to choose from (this only applies to the Mac). It did take me a while to get it to look perfect, as far as black levels go, but the level of detail and quality is on par with the liquid retina XDR display in the Mac itself. I wasn't too sure about using an ultra widescreen display TBH, but it's just PERFECT! I have my dock on the left side of the screen. I am using stickies next to the dock (yeah, Macs still have those and they're quite useful when you actually have space for them). On the far right I have Stage Manager running, which is a very useful and smart tool for organizing open windows. Overall, I am very pleased with this setup and the monitor is surprisingly capable for what I use it for (which is graphics design, photo/video editing, and light gaming).

This is a beautiful monitor. I purchased an open box for a few bucks less than a new one, but spend the extra money and get that new one. The open box didn't have the manual or the HDMI cable in it. Had to google the monitor to see how to properly set up dual screen. Works perect!

This is the best monitor that I have ever bought. I promise you it is a lot better than $1000 monitor in this specification if you wanna color accurate fast response great quality this is the monitor you want to buy. It’s like the 34 inch Asus proart monitor and a lot of LG‘s $1000 range monitors in that size

Excelente tv beautiful colors very easy to use very modern control I’m so happy!

Finaly took the plunge and went with a single super wide monitor vs two separate ones. Glad I did. Not having the split line down the middle is great and not having two separate color profiles which never match is wonderful. The only downside is the small buttons for the menu and power. The are on the bottom of the monitor and difficult to feel the shape of. Display quality is superb.

This monitor is definitely good for its price (and when it is on sale, even better). I was shopping around for a bargain gaming PC and became hooked on the idea of purchasing an ultrawide monitor to go with my setup, and I found this one discounted. Overall, I think it was a good decision. It's really enhanced my gaming experience and the colors and graphics are crisp. I think buying "gaming specific" monitors is a scam, this is just as good and far cheaper than you are going to find on the market. Additionally, as a college student, it was a lifesaver in writing my final papers for a few classes. Being able to pull up my windows side-by-side is something I didn't really think about, but it's probably my favorite thing now. On to my only complaint: I really don't like the stand that came with it. It feels cheap, it's not adjustable, and my monitor always points slightly down no matter how much I tighten the screws. This really isn't the biggest problem, however, because you can just go get another arm/monitor/stand and that will fix the issue entirely. Overall, I'll give it a 8/10 Both gamer and work-friendly!

Crystal clear resolution. More than enough size for the eyes to view, perfect for my day to day work! Not to mention the amount of settings that are enabled to be customized for your specific experience!!

Lovin' this monitor! My old eyes appreciate BIG monitors and I was working on my 43" flat screen TV and two lower res monitors, but one failed. I'd seen this and similar monitors before, but waited and shouldn't have. Now with the two UUUUGE screens, I can have as many as 8 usable windows displayed at a time although I never have yet, but just having three or four window displayed is really handy. Setup was logical and easy, but I have one warning. This was an open-box EXCELLENT purchase that saved me about $30; however, I burned up much more than that in time and gas because, when I got home with it and opened the box, it contained only the monitor and legs - no cables (power nor HDMI), and it was a nightmare trying to get BB to provide just the cords. They never did. After a lot of indifference and bad advice from BB's Customer Service via online chat and at the store, returning the first monitor, buying a new one online, getting credit for that, and luckily finding another open box available (opened it in the store!), I finally was in operation.

I’ve had this monitor for quite some time and I have no complaints, it’s efficient and it’s good quality, the screen is beautiful and the stand is very durable, if you’re thinking about buying your own FLOATING stand and wondering if it works with this monitor, it does. Overall very high quality for an excellent price.

Having always used laptops, with a small extra monitor, this is the first time I am using a screen this large, and I am enjoying it. I am using it for music production, not any sort of gaming, so I did not care about the specs of this monitor too much, but it is large and looks nice.

What an incredible display! Once you use this aspect ratio, you won’t go back to a standard 16 x 9 monitor. You can have several windows open side-by-side and not feel cramped! One hack I discovered is to leave the protective film on, and it actually enhances the vibrancy and contrast of images.

Nice to be able to have space to compare documents side by side. On my sit/stand desk the factory stand is a little wobbly but I replaced it with an aftermarket one so that I could mount another monitor above it. Using a 24" above it now but thinking about getting another of this one for some REAL estate.

Using my Vesa mount, it made the monitor way better in my opinion. The monitor is the best purchase I did, it has 2k resolution and makes gaming and multitasking easier, especially for coding or anything related to school

Great monitor my first ultra wide and gotta say I’m obsessed with how smooth and nice this monitor looks and feels, I’ve had no issues a month in to owning it and was really plug in play didn’t have to go in and fiddle with anything.

Runs games with high fps like butter. No stuttering at all for 100hz I was amazed. Not only do games look gorgeous on this monitor it has a very sleek design and looks awesome on my desk. This is my first wide screen and I may never go back to normal monitors. I highly recommend this for the money.
