Review on SAMSUNG LS32A804NMNXGO 31.5" 4K Monitor with Adjustable Stand and Anti-Glare Coating by Harry Love

Revainrating 1 out of 5

There are serious issues that render this otherwise pleasant display completely unusable.

1) This is a very dim display (check out the specs - only 250 nits). In comparison, the standard built-in MacBook display has a brightness of 500 nits - twice as bright. You can see the difference. The white sides don't look white, but a strange grey. 2) And don't get me started on the reds. They are stunning and highly saturated. The "yellow" and "orange" colors in my text editor's color scheme are bright crimson. "Red" is a color I've never seen before and it hurts me to look at it. 3) After a while, the display goes to sleep. Unfortunately, this means it also turns off connected computers. Something about the way this is happening is causing my computer to wake up, which in turn is causing the display to wake up. And this whole cycle is repeated about every 5 minutes. This is very annoying. And not good for your computer because it keeps waking up from sleep. God forbid your computer's sound isn't muted and it buzzes every time thinking the power is off. That alone would make me not use it. 4) The sound doesn't work! It probably has speakers, but audio just doesn't stream over USB-C.
