Some pros and cons.
Pros:
-Picture is nice and sharp. 1080p well represented.
-Decent colour representation once set up.
-60hz refresh rate very adequate for youtube, work or light gaming.
-Clean aesthetic, looks great in any set up.
-Cheap
Cons:
-Not “bezel-less” as the marketing claims. The usable pixels do not reach all the way to the corners. Would not reccomend if you are wanting to combine monitors together into a seamless mega-display.
-“Eye saver mode” significantly dulls the contrast and colours on screen, almost to the point of unusability.
-You have to dive into the menus and make sure you set “HDMI Black Level” to “Low”. The default setting is vastly inferior.
I got the 27 inch monitor for 150 and it’s left a good impression for the price, I’ve decided to buy another one.
Brilliant value for money, crisp images, very clear. Have to use this monitor for day to day work but also I use it for gaming. Immersive experience due to the curved screen. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Super monitor – vivid colours and stylish. Love the sleek desig
HDMI is so good that rgb looks poor in contrast.
The screen creates a lot of background light so, for MS office it’s better to use the dark background settings.
I get very good resolution with TEAMS and other apps active simultaneously so can read shared info while participating in TEAMS meetings
Colour settings were good out of the box.
No backlight bleed, no dead pixels.
No discernable pixelation.
Check display settings in Windows 10.
Mine defaulted to 60 Hz, had to change it manually to 75 Hz.
Auto power off was annoying, just disabled it.
Decent colour balance out of the box, which was surprising. VESA mountable 75mm X 75mm. This is a massive bonus given that I already own another 1000R 32″ Samsung screen, which has no VESA mountability to speak of.
Great price, the quality of this curved screen is fantastic, Cristal clear, I bought this product as I am working from home and got fed up working off my laptop screen, would highly recommend.
