Only 16:9 curved non-glossy monitor of this size in the market
By Melvin Yin on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2023
Edit: Turns out I just have a bad unit, samsung replaced it and it works now. Keeping review here in case someone encounters the same issue. I use this for work and gaming. The monitor is large, I place it at the end of a 34" width table and it's still closer than I would prefer, so for those with the standard 24" tables, it's probably going to be too close. For gaming, the flex screen option allows you to shrink the screen size, this allows you to see the whole screen without moving your eyeballs I guess. For programming, it's excellent, huge vertical space as compared to an ultrawide. The monitor is easily configurable, very bright, multiple color profiles, no dead pixels, and is very stable on its stand. Its stand weighs as much as the monitor itself, and for those thinking of comparing it to a 50+" tv, no this monitor is at least 2x heavier than my 50" flat screen tv, there's just so much bulk. No complaints whatsoever about the monitor hardware. Aesthetics wise it looks awesome, all of the components (connect box, table control, remote control) look great. They also give a wall mount that allows for rotation, although for obvious reasons you're not mounting this onto some typical drywall. Now for the downsides. The one connect box is massive for some reason, and it only has 1 DP port. There's 2x hdmi 2.1, but word of warning, unless you have a 2023+ mac pro, it won't recognize a 2.1. Many older graphics cards also don't support 2.1, so you're stuck with the sole DP port. That's one dumb design decision. You need 120hz (lower resolution is fine) because otherwise at this size your mouse pointer will stutter. When connecting to my 1080, the monitor will disconnect and reconnect after ~10 seconds, resetting the screen, as though I have turned off and on the monitor. This happens every 2-3 hours or so, and is only resolvable (for now) by 1. turning off gsync, 2. turning off hdr on your pc, 3. turning off hdr and game mode on the monitor, and 4. switching the provided dp cable with your own 4k+120hz onwards cable. Also, there's a weird vertical color streak across the monitor when on game mode. And, when your computer (I tested on both pc and mac) is connected to the monitor, and you turn on your pc/mac, there will be no sound from the monitor. You have to turn off and then on the monitor again. For those asking, yes I'm on the latest monitor software, nvidia driver, etc. It is honestly a piece of crap, and if it wasn't for the fact that it's the only viable large (40+") curved matte monitor, I would have returned it. So yes, it is undoubtedly the only computer monitor of this size, and it works for its intended purpose, TVs are just crap with their glossy screens. And it works, don't get me wrong, but it requires a lot of fiddling and coping, only reason I'll recommend this is because it's the only one in the market. If LG or someone else comes up with something similar I'll probably sell this and buy that.

Cool but...
By Damian Lott on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2024
This monitor is dope. Its more than anyone would need and has features that are genuinely innovative like screen resizing, multiple devices, multiple screens, the dial remote. Unfortunately, it is plagued with a black out issue. It started while gaming and now it happens even if I am simply watching YouTube. I have researched a lot and some say it is related to Samsung products, or cables, or drivers, or settings on graphics card, or refresh rate. I have tried all of these things but regardless of what it is, this should not be an issue at this price. I have plenty of other monitors that never experience this. Its a super cool monitor and I would give 5 stars if the black out issue was not a thing. But if I could I would return it at this point.
