I liked this monitor - my new review

I'm a big fan of Curve monitors but prefer these 4K for work purposes. It works great with Macbook Pro. Good price compared to competitors.

Great monitor for work.

Thunderbolt combines power, Ethernet, and video and is highly recommended for USB-C devices with limited ports. Limited customer support!

  • Flexible connectivity options including Thunderbolt 3, DisplayPort and HDMI, and an integrated USB hub with two USB 3.0 ports. The integrated RJ45 Ethernet port allows you to connect to a wired LAN via the Thunderbolt input.

not a good buy

I've followed the advice in other reviews to maximize the brightness with my 2019 MBP 16 but it's still not bright enough. The "trick" is that macOS with Big Sur has its own "High Dynamic Range" control on the displays. Simply using the monitor's built-in settings is not enough to maximize brightness. I looked up the specs for it (strangely it's missing from the Amazon product page) and it only has a brightness of (typical) 250 cd/m2. My old and smaller Dell P2715Q has 350cd/m2, so the new…

Literally buggy. I'm a little spider... in the display.

Very surprised to find a small spider inside the monitor wandering from side to side for about eight hours today. Revain is great and will send a replacement.

Category leader - my new rating

I compared the 32-inch Samsung and the 27-inch HP; Samsung was either equal or superior to them in all technical aspects. The price was the same, so the choice was easy. I found the performance excellent and the picture quality close to our Samsung home theater system. The only issue was minor - there was only one HDMI-to-HDMI port; I needed a new plug before I could install the monitor.

It's not worth it

So it's not a bad display, but for $600 you'd think the stand wouldn't be flimsy and it would have some sort of speaker. Its thin profile saves you valuable desk space.

  • The appearance

I had a $1,000 LG of the same size (which I broke), so the context of this review is based on a comparison of this more expensive mode. The case itself reminds me of a TV, while my LG had smooth plastic that looked a lot smoother. However, this attitude is much more versatile. I love how you can get very high or very low, which is useful when standing at a raised table. It didn't work at the beginning until I finally found the bug. You must turn off "High Dynamic Range" in the display settings…

description in my review

It was bad. It had a computer or something plugged into it, which was absolutely not what I expected. Thanks for attention!

Terrible picture quality

DO NOT BUY FOR MAC USE! Each time the monitor enters sleep mode, the indicator flashes. Disturbing, especially in the room when sleeping. But much worse: Turn off all devices. So when I wake up in the morning (or even when I go out for a long lunch!), I have to unplug and plug back in my monitor for my keyboard and other devices to work. But much worse: the picture is terrible. . It's grainy, fuzzy, just awful. Even after careful tweaking to make it lighter or brighter, it's still terrible. It…

Needs better color control

Image quality when connected to my 2019 Macbook Pro is decent, but despite my best efforts, the screen can't match the color accuracy of my laptop. I literally can't sync them and Orange on my Mac always shows as Red/Pink on this monitor. For the price I expect better.

Fantastic photo editing

I photograph as a hobby and as a small business, and I also have a full-time job working from home where I need multiple screens all the time. I was looking for a UHD screen to use with my favorite photo editing software. Editing photos is a lot easier when you can actually see the exact color, or should! But I also wanted something I could plug into my work laptop during work hours so I could use it for both. I personally like the screen better. Before this Samsung business monitor, I had two…

Faded colors and dead pixels on arrival

A very disappointing product as Samsung usually makes really good products. I recently bought an M1 Mac Mini and wanted a really good display. After countless hours of studying monitors and making videos of my solution, I found dead pixels on the first monitor in the bottom center of the monitor. I contacted Revain regarding this and they sent me a replacement. A week later I plugged in a replacement and found I had dead pixels in the top right corner of the monitor. When buying an expensive…

so good i want a second one

It's insane how much hate this monitor has received in reviews. It's excellent. I haven't had a single problem after a year or so and now want to buy a second one. Fortunately, this monitor is still available. I HATE that Samsung CANNOT stick to ONE design. Literally every monitor they release every few months has a completely different stand and frame. Unless you buy 2 monitors at the same time, it is very unlikely that you will get two identical monitors from Samsung. The picture quality is…

Ok TB3 monitor that does what I need, not the best but decent

This screen I would say is generally fine. I paid $400 for it at Costco and it does what I need it to do. I use a Displayport input for my work laptop and a Thunderbolt 3 cable for my MacBook Pro. Nice and easy to switch between the two devices. The 32-inch screen is beautiful to look at in 4K in HiDPI mode, making text nice and easy to read for my aging eyes. I'm using an available Thunderbolt port to power my iPad Pro, which is below this screen. I don't have to run Thunderbolt daisy chains…
