Very nice monitor

I received this monitor to use with an Apple Mac Mini 2020 M1 silicon. I was worried the resolution wouldn't be good enough, but I bought it because it looks so aesthetically cool on my Mac. Well, as it turns out, the picture looks fine. If you do photo or video editing, get a higher resolution monitor, but for everyday browsing, movie watching, etc., I'm fine. I am happy. I had no trouble tilting the screen down as it is adjustable and the stand is stable and solid. I mention this because I've

Overall happy with it

This monitor is just amazing. The "Save Vision" mode is ideal when I'm working hard or playing long hours. However, there are times when the monitor just goes black. I googled and couldn't find why. I assume that there may be problems after the repair. It doesn't always happen, but when it does, it's extremely uncomfortable. Overall a great product but it annoys me to pay so much money for a product that doesn't work properly and consistently.

Great price for a great screen. Highly recommended.

Excellent ad. The crisp image and curved screen are great for the eyes and give you relief after hours of working on work documents. I'm also a fan of Samsung's "joystick" like the power button on the back of the screen (after figuring out how to use it lol). It would be the perfect monitor if it had built-in speakers. Despite the lack of built-in speakers, I give it 5 stars; I knew it didn't have speakers when I bought it and can't fault the product for that. Also, the picture and performance…

Great curved 34 inch monitor.

When I bought this 34-inch monitor from Samsung, I had some concerns about its resolution based on some of the 1080p monitor reviews I've read. I'm only impressed with it for my daily use and gaming. It works great, resolution and color are perfect. You'll love the large curved screen, which is beautiful even when viewed from the side. If you've had the same resolution concerns I've had, then look no further. I would buy it again and recommend it.

Great monitor for game consoles.

I mainly play on PS4 and Xbox One on 55 inch 4k. Wanted a smaller one for gaming. I haven't tested my laptop on it, but this monitor has a sharp image. I bought a viotek gn32c hoping for a good monitor which turned out to be blurry and means no HDCP support no netflix etc when enabled on PS4. I've read a lot about how 1080p on 32" isn't that great. So I decided to just buy a cheaper 32" monitor. I have a lot of Samsung products, so I decided to just go Samsung take. And I'm glad I made this…

Great value for my opinion

I don't play games, but I sit at the computer all the time for work. After playing around with the settings a bit, I found the best resolution for what I needed. I think most of the negative reviews are from people who expected a plug and play installation. This required some adjustments. I don't know what others are doing but I found a video online showing me the settings. Very helpful. It is so beautiful that I immediately ordered a second one. If I feel like it, I can post a photo.

Amazing for the price.

People find something wrong with everything. When you see this thing in front of you, it will bring you joy. My first impression was that it was much more than I expected. The picture needs a little tweaking, but it's nice. I use it for gaming and work and it works great for both. We will buy another one because now my wife loves it too.

Great for pictures/sim games

Great image quality, but they're best for cinematic games. Flickering: When the monitor’s refresh rate is too low, the display may flicker.! Increase the frame rate for shooters or fast-paced games.

Just light it - beautiful, very beautiful.

With recent headlines that viewing blue color through computer screens damages your eyes. This monitor says it has filtering technology to reduce harmful radiation. This is called "Eye Protection Mode" - this reduces clarity and brightness. I feel more confident knowing I can watch it 12 hours a day. I just wish the bottom stand was made out of a heavier looking metal-like frame as the hard plastic outer layer is easily scratched compared to metal.

No Vesa mounting holes

I had to return this item due to the lack of Vesa mounting holes. I was crushed - even looked for an adapter brace, but no luck for a screen this size with a curve. Why aren't there holes for VESA these days?

Amazing product best in my rating

This 32-inch curved monitor from Samsung works great. Very simple and easy installation. Also included was an HDMI cable if you didn't already have one. The picture is beautiful and the design is fantastic. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to upgrade for gaming or streaming. Note: I received it last week and it didn't work. The monitor was broken and would not turn on. I called Revain Prime and they sent me a new one 3 days later. I can't stress enough how great their customer…

He's big, that's all!

I thought I made a good buy for the price. It turns out it's just a big monitor. The picture quality is poor and I've tried adjusting the settings to suit my system. I have a wider and larger monitor (LG) at work and have tried to compromise by purchasing a slightly smaller model. Just disappointed with the picture quality. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
