    This monitor looks fantastic, but it’s incredibly frustrating to deal with the constant loss of signal. It’s practically brand new, and this issue has already happened to me four times. I’ve reached out to both Samsung and Best Buy, but neither has been able to explain why it’s happening. I’m going to try and buy a mini display to usb-c cable to see if that works, but that’s not a solution for such an expensive piece of equipment. It’s disappointing to experience this kind of problem with a product that’s supposed to delive...

    DO NOT BUY. I made the mistake of buying one of these, and for 5 months I really liked it. Now, half of the screen bounces up and down one pixel at a time. Samsung will not refund the purchase and are requiring me to send it back to the factory for a tech to determine if it's repairable - at which point they will decide if I get a refund or if they ship it back to me. Meanwhile I have to buy a new monitor because I use this for my design business. When I told the Samsung supervisor that I use this monitor for my business, they said it's not a "business rated model." So there you have it. It looks like i am out $14...

    Monitor came defective, submitted a warranty claim, sent the monitor to be fixed, they sent it back, now with a dent on the corner of the screen, submitted pictures and new claim, and samsung offered an Ecoupon to buy a new monitor in exchange of the defective one, after more than 10 calls,(15+ hrs in total) multiple chats, emails and sms, puctures of the monitor 2 trips to ups, and sending back the monitor twice. I finally get my Ecoupon to buy the same monitor. For my wife to be able to use ger birthday gift for the 1st t...

    Won't buy again. No problem with the quality of the image - for me it was more about lack of consistent performance as an external monitor with my 2021 M1 MacBook Pro. I wasn't even able to get 4k 60hz - there may have been a moment when I did but more often than not I didn't. Tried everything. I have wasted so many hours trying different cable combinations and installing monitor management software but I was never able to get what I needed out of the monitor. Luckily I bought mine through Amazon and they gave me a refund. ...

    This monitor provides a beautiful picture, which is what is expected. I use it with a Mac Mini M2 Pro, and it pairs well. The speakers are so lack luster, I had to purchase separate desktop speakers. The frame is plastic, but it doesn't bother me since it's barely noticed. The stand is solid aluminum and looks and works great. This is a worthy alternative to the Apple display, if the speakers don't matter too much to you.

    Great monitor - when it works Great monitor - when it works. I bought the Samsung S9 to use with my Mac Studio for photography work. It took me a long time and a lot of cables before I could get it working as a monitor. (The plug in on the back never feels like the cable is 100% in.) Once I did with a Thunderbolt cable (which I tried unsuccessfully a number of times prior) I was impressed. Great resolution and minimal glare for a decent price. Now all of a sudden in the middle of a big project it simply disconnected and I can’t get it back up as a monitor. Very frustrating because my other monitors work just fine with ...

    I wanted to love it but had to return it after trying it out for a few hours. I use Mac at work and Windows at home, so I need a monitor with KVM that can switch between inputs. I thought this one has KVM integrated, but it doesn't. Well, if just that, I can still overcome with external KVM, but guess what, all three USB-C ports are downstream and can only be accessed by the Thunderbolt 4 (also of USB-C), meaning that if you need to use the DisplayPort, you cannot use the integrated USB hub and there is no an easy way for you to switch inputs while using the same set of mouse/keyboard.
