This monitor has a superb picture. Very detailed and colourful. Plenty of input options and a breeze to set up. 60Hz so probably not for the gamers, but for home working / productivity it amazing.
Slow to wake up but acceptable. The picture is I’m sure not prefect quality but for it’s price, it’s great for watching TV, playing games, and doing work (on a budget).
The stand is firm, no wobble.
Controls are basic but enough. I need it at max brightness.
I bought this as a 2nd monitor for photo editing using Lightroom 12. When first set-up I experienced a black screen when using Lightroom on this screen and had to switch it over to my 11 year old iIyahma 27″ panel. I’d used HDMI to HDMI for 27″ and Display Port to HDMI for 32″ panel. Bought a 1.4 Display Port to Display Port cable for the 32″ and that solved my problem. I’m now delighted with it and love the brightness of the screen in comparison to the iIyahma. I’ve calibrated both monitors and the colours are pretty near similar although the old 27″ panel does lack the punch of the Samsung.
Didn’t use the included stand, as I bought an external hydraulic arm instead.
Works well, the only annoying thing is that the small blue light will continuously flash when it is asleep. Why? I cannot understand why. It’s been covered with some black electrical tape.
The included Game Mode is supposed to make darker colours stand out, but I didn’t notice much difference, to be honest. Build quality is also very good for a Samsung monitor.
All in all, it’s pretty good.
update: The monitor gets the job done and at an affordable price. At first 4k60 would not work from the hdmi port, only 4k30. Now it works. Probably a bad cable.
Amazing value for money for a monitor of this quality. Not ideal if you have a lot of ambient light in your workspace because the backlight is not the brightest, otherwise highly recommended. Tested at 4K 60Hz via both DP and HDMI.
I bought this Monitor just after I bought my ps5. It’s made the experience so much better. It’s a shame that it doesn’t have HDR but for the price I really cannot complain. It feels amazing seeing the full 4K experience when gaming or watching movies
Can’t recommend enough, I’ve been using for gaming FPS and it works a dream, gaming mode and eye care mode are also great
Eye care mode really makes a difference at night before sleeping, I use for the last two hours and my eyes feel way less tired!
Great value for money – you won’t find a better little gaming monito
Works very well with an M1 MacBook Pro 16″. To get 4k/60 Hz I used the full sized HDMI cable on the Mac rather than the Apple USB-C splitter (which breaks a USB-C into USB-C, HDMI and USB-A). With the Apple splitter I could only get 30Hz at 4k.
Good picture quality and the 32″ size is a real luxury.
I think i know why this was returned, not only for the 2 marks on the screen which arent noticeable when its on. The monitor seems to be incapable of staying in standby. It will constantly turn on and off trying to find a signal cycling through all the inputs and shutting down again.
The product is good. I need Samsung support tho, and that was a nightmare. Well, they are Apple wannabes and they copy all stages of support from the Genius Bad. Then I had an issue with the display, they collected from my house and they broke the plastic Basel/structure (don’t know how). Then they charged me for a replacement, which was ridiculous. That’s it: product of fine but let’s hope you won’t need horrible Samsung support!
I bought two of these to replace a somewhat crowded desktop. My setup is a desktop and a laptop, the latter connected to two fullHD 24″ monitors and the former connected to two 28″ QHD monitors. Desk space is quite cluttered. I’ve tried a large 43″ 4K TV in recent times and although the image is sharp, the screen is too large for me.
I researched a few 4k 32″ monitors and come down to this one and the Samsung M70 all in one monitor. Selected this as my use case is programming and data analysis and don’t intend to use for TV/Netflix etc. Monitors are easy to set up and work with existing windows 10 settings out of the box. Decent image and easy to work with. Bit of light bleed on darker backgrounds but not a problem for me.
I’m pleased with my purchase and they are. Great balance between between screen size and image resolution.
I’m used to small screens of say 22 inch… For clarity of vision, colour, and sheer size.. Sorry for my non technical definition… I still gaze at my monitor with my jaw open lol its a deligh
I love this monitor, great purchase, phenomenal when used with PS5! With that in mind, make sure to use the HDMI 2 port for anything you want running at 60hz. HDMI only runs at 30hz. Otherwise, strongly recommended!
I use this as a second monitor to a MacBook and this is a great addition. The picture is clear and crisp with good colour. The user interface of the monitor is a little clunky but manageable once you get the hang of it. Doesn’t tire eyes after long periods and I’d highly recommend.
I also have a windows PC so it comes in handy having different inputs where I can relatively easily switch between windows and mac devices with ease.
I want to say these look great on both windows and mac although they aren’t as vibrant as I’d hoped, for example colours don’t pop as much as I’d imagined given some other reviewers screenshots. The first few hours of use I wasn’t sure if something was wrong as the screens seemed washed out as if the contrast was on max but I seem to have quickly gotten used to this and they seem normal now.
You will absolutely need to use scaling with these on both windows and mac or the font will be tiny. 4k at 32 inches makes everything very small.
Putting two together using the provided stands on a desk has left a frustrating problem, they don’t line up – one unit is somehow marginally higher than the other, enough to notice when side by side which is annoying!
Some reviewers mentioned the power plug may easily fall out the back of the monitor – I can’t for the life of me understand how, on both the monitors I received there’s an audiable click into place when the adapter is plugged into the monitor and even if titlting I can’t see how it would fall out freely as some others have suggested maybe they aren’t pushing it in enough.
The settings menu and joystick are a bit fiddly but I got to grips quickly. The monitors do turn on automatically when my devices do or moving the mouse etc but after longer periods of not being used the monitors seem to enter a deep sleep and you have to manually turn them on with the button. Both my windows and mac randomly woke up sometimes and with my older monitors this meant they also came on blasting out light into the room. These new monitors seem to protect against that though it is a little annoying to have to turn them on manually – a setting to control preference here would have been nice for now turning them on manually seems minor.
Overall I’m happy especially at this price point – the more I use them the more I get used to them and the better they seem.
Bought this as sent home again, didn’t want to have 2 monitors due to space so elected for this due to the PBP feature. This works well as splits the screen into 2 so great for productivity. Easy to set up as well. Can’t adjust stand though which can be annoying. Overall great purchase.
The monitor is bigger than I think, probably because I have a really narrow table and I have to seat near to it. But that’s not the problem of the product, it is a fantastic 4K monitor!
I am using the screen for office work. It gives the perfect amount of desktop realestate to use multiple apps side by side. It’s also a good screen for movies, WhatsApp etc. It is bright and responsive.
Connected to a MacBook Pro using displayport.
Picture quality is great. Pretty easy to set upthe little joy-button thing on the back isn’t a great UI but I just waggled it at random and the image popped up.
Installs great using a VESA mount. Worth having.
I couldn’t get a connection to the monitor on the DisplayPort connector from either my MacBook Pro or HP Elitebook laptops HDMI outputs. I used an HDMI to DP cable which worked on other PC/monitors.
When I spoke with Samsung they said some of their monitors can have issues with mixed connector types.
I have other Samsung monitor, which has worked fine with mixed connectors.
With the HDMI to HDMI connection works just fine, so happy otherwise
Bought a new pc and wanted to get a new monitor, saw this and was impressed by the price and size of the screen. Although make sure you measure the space your gonna put the screen as I didn’t and then needed to buy a new desk
The monitor worked straight out of the box. I chose to connect via a USB-C to HDMI A (SYNCWIRE – 4K@60Hz) connector and very happy with the results.
As others have pointed out, audio is not transferred from my MacBook Pro to the monitor, but I have separate speakers connected via my 35mm port on my Mac, so this was not a serious issue.
I have only two complaints:
1. the scrolling and movement of my Bluetooth mouse on the monitor so far. Still quite jittery (bad for gaming), (only 60Hz) but could also be a combined issue with my Apple Magic Mouse. New hi-res mouse arriving tomorrow…
2. The screen angle cannot be adjusted. Currently pointing too low. If this could have been adjusted, I would have rated this product 5 stars.
