Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ive noticed that there are too many reviews with incorrect/uneducated information. Im going to break this down simply. Requirements: In order to get 240 HZ 10 Bit color you need DSC (display port compression) graphics card otherwise you are limited to 8 bit. This also has to be set manually in the NVIDIA / AMD control panels. GPU capable of even achieving 240HZ and if you plan to game with this depending on the game /settings you may need a very high end GPU to hit high enough in the fps range to utilize as much as the refresh rate advantage as possible. Proper display port cables/ The ones it comes with from the OEM. Issues: Flickering - Completely resolved by the latest firmware update as near as i can tell. Latest firmware update contains a VRR control that you must set in the monitor menu. Backlight Bleed - its there and very apparent when the screen is completely black. Its not oled and its not FALD. It does have light zones though. This should be a non issue for the actual target reason to buy this monitor. Stuck Pixels - I got one with stuck pixels. It wasnt just one it was several in different areas. Its why i bought directly from amazon. Shipped it back. Got a different one without the issues. Panels Broken in shipping - Yes Samsung has an issue with this. 1000R curves will break at a high percentage during shipping. No real way around this due to the curve and carrier handling. If you can buy from a big box store that sells them regularly in store. they usually are shipped on pallets together and arent as mishandled by carriers. "My mac cannot detect this all the time Bro.. I have to unplug the cable and plug it back in" This at the current time appears to be true. though for some reason apple cannot ever seem to get this simple thing that windows has been doing since the 90s right. Its a problem for lots of monitors on their latest build of Big Sur and its a problem on their new apple silicone(m1) with their own cpu/gpu. I observed it on my own mac mini with the m1 PROC. No ultimate gysnc module - Yep it doesnt have it. Look up the BOM for it on the internet. then ask yourself would you pay maybe double for this monitor to have that module? Ive noticed no gsync issues with monitor and i personally cannot tell any justifiable difference between this and gysnc ultimate on a x27 predator i owned. Samsung service is terrible - In my individual opinion they are. Every comment online i have read about interacting with them is terrible. Its why i bought from amazon and made sure all was working. Slight vertical lines( non dead/ on broken pixel rows) - Yes this VA panel may have them. They show up in certain colors and brightness's in certain spots of the monitor. These are extremely subtle and i doubt most people will notice unless they really are looking or super uptight about quality. Rumored issues: Ghosting - Your high if you think so. Look at the Youtuve videos of the UFO test. This thing performs and has low response times. gtg 1ms HDR - Its HDR 600 and no FALD. They dont advertise it as FALD. HDR is noticeable and makes a difference in some games. Its not going to wow you and this isnt an issue with this monitor. HDR works at pretty much the level your paying for in my opinion. So why the five star review? 1. Curve is 1000R. For me life changing eye comfort. 2. 240 HZ 10 Bit color. Smoothest gameplay at 1440P i Have ever seen. If you can run at 240 FPS the game your playing its beautifully smooth. (There isnt a huge difference between 144hz and 240 that i can see but its still awesome) 3. 240 HZ productivity. window movement and any motion that can take advantage is beautifully smooth. 4. RGB lighting is nice 5. Color is nice 6. HDR while not the FALD 1000 NIT wow factor its i think pretty good for what you pay for. 7. Overall design... Very nice. stands out. 8. Power cable length. I have a slightly higher desk and lots of my cables don't reach. this one did. 9. Dual Display 10. Settings to adjust for gaming/response/performance/etc. 11. Monitor button. Very nice to switch between two computers. 12 Bezel... its not thing and technically its a bezel inside of a bezel which is common to give the appearance of a smaller bezel. 13. Mine included a vesa mount plate. 14. Super USB charging Is this monitor perfect? no its not. Is this monitor catering to something uniquely awesome 1000R 240hz 10 Bit color? Yes it is. I love this monitor. you can nitpick all the imperfections and obsess over them. When using this monitor I don't even want to ever touch another x27 predator or a asus pg27uq(regarded as the best monitor ever made by many). Reality has become this is my go to monitor.
