Good
These have done exactly what i expected. Provided a good, bright, clear image that refreshes at a good enough rate for most casual gamers and videos. Easy to set up, just plug and play, and a good size screen, really nice for photo editting or playing games with a high resolution.

Great!
First day of usage – was not impressed – I came from using a 13″ OLED screen – the blacks being washed out was terrible. Tried to fiddle with Nvidia image setting – made it slightly better. Tried to enable 10bit mode – but that doesn’t work over HDMI. On the second day I found the Nvidia setting you need to change to make this great: Display->Resolution->3. Apply the following settings: use Nvidia colour settings Desktop colour depth – 32bit, Output colour format RGB Output colour depth 8bc, Output dynamic range full. Normally NVidia will truncate 8bit depth from 16-235 – which washes out the blacks. With the settings above you get the full range – and super deep blacks. Once it’s setup properly this monitor is excellent – it’s no OLED but still very very good! Well worth the money!

Good monitor happy with purchase
I bought a pair of these 32 inch monitors to replace a pair of lower resolution HP Oman monitors that didn’t play well with my new Macbook. It seems Apple have tinkered with font smoothing on their newer macOS versions resulting in blurry text on screens lower than 4k hence why I picked these. There’s a lot of info about this online.I also have a windows PC so it comes in handy having different inputs where I can relatively easily switch between windows and mac devices with ease.I want to say these look great on both windows and mac although they aren’t as vibrant as I’d hoped, for example colours don’t pop as much as I’d imagined given some other reviewers screenshots. The first few hours of use I wasn’t sure if something was wrong as the screens seemed washed out as if the contrast was on max but I seem to have quickly gotten used to this and they seem normal now.You will absolutely need to use scaling with these on both windows and mac or the font will be tiny. 4k at 32 inches makes everything very small.Putting two together using the provided stands on a desk has left a frustrating problem, they don’t line up – one unit is somehow marginally higher than the other, enough to notice when side by side which is annoying!Some reviewers mentioned the power plug may easily fall out the back of the monitor – I can’t for the life of me understand how, on both the monitors I received there’s an audiable click into place when the adapter is plugged into the monitor and even if titlting I can’t see how it would fall out freely as some others have suggested maybe they aren’t pushing it in enough.The settings menu and joystick are a bit fiddly but I got to grips quickly. The monitors do turn on automatically when my devices do or moving the mouse etc but after longer periods of not being used the monitors seem to enter a deep sleep and you have to manually turn them on with the button. Both my windows and mac randomly woke up sometimes and with my older monitors this meant they also came on blasting out light into the room. These new monitors seem to protect against that though it is a little annoying to have to turn them on manually – a setting to control preference here would have been nice for now turning them on manually seems minor.Overall I’m happy especially at this price point – the more I use them the more I get used to them and the better they seem.

works well for work
I was looking at big monitors and the bad reviews kept putting me off and I was feeling a little stuck so I thought I’d check out the reviews for this screen I bought 2.5 years ago and Their basically the same. I’ve had no trouble so far, the screen is more than bright enough, even lighting etc. Works with my MacBook. The bezel and stand are basic black plastic but hey ho. I use it for work so TBH I would know if it’s response time is akin to a sloth or a cheetah. For every day purposes it is fine and still running well. I just want something nice for my living room set up.

Great for Ho,e Office
Bought as part of home office upgrade having embraced the post-Covid world of working from home. Good brightness, picture quality and easy to setup and use. Only issue is it occasionally drops out if remotely viewing graphics heavy applications (i.e. engineering CAD models) but this is down to infrastructure and bandwidth limitations at my place of work but would be the same with any 4k screen, so so,etching to be aware of if youâre thinking of a similar upgrade. Otherwise, highly recommended.

Great for productivity
Pros:-Cheap for a 4k Display,-Great for productivity, work. the extra pixels mean even tiny text is easier to read so you can fit a lot more on the screen. The screen is a nice matt with soft colours which doesn’t really lend itself to games or photo/video editing but again – great for work and casual website browsing.Cons:-NOT for gaming. I don’t understand why anyone tries to market a 60hz monitor for gaming. Stop.-big frame bezels, I get the feeling they add these in just to make the product feel cheaper so you fork out money for their more premium options.-Source switching is not good. It starts cycling between them and goes into stand by after just 2-3 seconds? Nothing more frustrating than trying to connect your screen up and instead it keeps turning itself off. I’m especially confused by the fact another samsung monitor I have has this worked out perfectly well. Don’t buy this if you expect to plug it up to more than 1 device.

Very good picture for entry level 4k display
So far very happy with it. The picture quality is excellent, it has a VA panel with good colour reproduction and deep contract/black levels. There is mild colour change when viewing off angle, but overall the viewing angles are decent and above a TN panel (but not as good as PLS or IPS). 32inch is only just big enough to really enough 4k desktop resolution. Ideally I think you need 34″ to run it without scaling – where I sit around 1m away I use 125% in Windows to see icons and text clearly @ full resolution. Inputs are OK also, with 2 x HDMI and 1 x DP. The main downside is the stand which I already knew about (no 90 deg rotation for vertical mode etc). It’s probably the best entry level 4k monitor out there, I would buy it again for a similar price.

Everything was fine for me regarding this monitor except 1080p videos. 1080p videos on this monitor tends to be blurry, otherwise this monitor is fine. So remember that before buying this. However generally speaking 1080p videos don’t look great on 4k monitors
