Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great 4K Monitor I purchased this monitor to connect to my 15" MacBook Pro and replace my 5K iMac. Quality seems great and similar to the iMac when scaled properly. Had issues getting 60Hz to work over HDMI, then I realized that 60Hz is only supported on DisplayPort or HDMI 2. You cannot use 4K 60Hz on HDMI 1.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrible support I reinstalled W10 on my SP3. Previously I had struggled to get the monitor drivers to work correctly until a tech in India helped me out. Not tech support is in the Dominican Republic and it seems they do not understand the problem (which my be related to 24" drivers showing up for 28" screen). I can no longer recommend Samsung products, I also had an issue with my S8 where they sent me back an inferior replacement phone. Too bad, I used to enjoy their products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Color reproduction is not great I put it alongside a factory-calibrated Dell monitor and still can't make colors look even a little decent, which is really inconvenient in dual-monitor setup when you see the difference a few times every minute. Did not had such problem with Samsung's laptop UHD panel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from AMAZING but... Amazing low budget 4k monitor for gaming and work but the stand is terrible. It is very shaky but aslong you dont shake you table you should be fine. Currently using for my Xbox One X and works great. You get pretty much everything you would get with a high end monitor!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Poor VESA mounting I just read a review that I wished I had seen before I purchased. The VESA mounting holes are at the top of the monitor, so there is no wall mount you can get that will not show above the monitor. I just purchased and realized this, so I still have time to return. It is too bad, because I really like my previous Samsung monitors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolutely love it, but the vesa mount not being in the center is really making life difficult. i wish i could rotate it properly by having the axis in the center but now it has to go all the way around. and the arm also shows from the top, looks ugly. i absolutely love this monitor but vesa experience makes it a deal-breaker.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Monitor - Super simple setup This is a great monitor with more features than I will ever need or use. The monitor is surprisingly light weight compared to my old Samsung 24 inch. The colors are bright and the contrast allows me to not have to use my reading glasses when using it. The setup was very simple and I didn't even have to make any adjustments it Windows 10 to use it. That is about as plug and play as you can get. The only thing I will need to do that is extra is purchase a 10 ft DP cable as my computer/monitor setup on my desk makes the 6 ft cable a tight and somewhat stretched fit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Faulty monitor I bought this monitor less than 2 months ago and I guess my model was faulty at the beginning. It is hurting my eyes like the GPU driver isn't installed, however it is and I have a GPU that supports 4k. THe feeling is like the screen is flickering all the time and I cant work more than 2 hours on it. And this is not a brightness issue. Even with low brightness I still can't work on it. Also, it was not turning on with the PC and I had to manually turn it on. So I brought it to the official warranty and I received it back only 1 month later. It turned out that the motherboard of the monitor was faulty. It seems that it fixed the eye hurting and weird static sounds the screen was making. Now a week or two later, the screen is hurting my eyes again and the HDMI2 sometimes is turning off and doing some visual tearing. And it is not the cable fault as i tried it with multiple ones. Now i have to take it again back to warranty for the second time owning a new monitor for less than 2 months. I feel absolutely tired of this. I want to get my money back or get a new screen, as it is complete nonsense that you have to fix a completely new screen already 2nd time in couple of months. Besides all this, I am not sure if the picture quality is also that good based on the device description.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from "A Gamers Delight" This 4K monitor set up with my 4K 980 TI video card brings life, vivid graphics, well defined color, and speed to all of the games I currently own. "Eye Candy" is the best description that can be applied to this most beautiful screen, the depth and color intensity is well beyond what I have ever experienced. A truly well advanced engineering miracle to behold!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Price, Good Quality, Nice Design. I bought this monitor about a year ago and love its display quality. Although my computer does not support 60 Hz refresh (yes to 4K at 30 Hz), the colours and picture quality is very nice. The overall design is great as well! Plus, it's EnergyStar certified.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent 4k Monitor for the Price I bought a refurbished monitor a few weeks ago. Great quality, picture looks great. I did have slight flickering from my 60Hz HDMI port - I switched to the display port and it went away. I didn't bother trying a new set of HDMI cables.... maybe I should. I've played a few games at >1080 with no issues. Monitor changes resolutions responsively. I need a new video card to really play in 4k. I am adopting relatively early, so the tech is only going to improve. For the for the price, I have no complaints.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product for the price Bought this 2 months ago and only just set it up over the weekend to replace an older (and smaller) Samsung monitor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from misleading this monitor is great as long as you only use the DP cable. The HDMI ports do not offer 4k at 60HZ. it is also not compatible with an xbox one s or a ps4 pro so if you are looking to stream 4k media through either of those consoles do not purchase this monitor...you will only get 1080p

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pure Visual Excellence What do you buy a monitor for .? You want a visual experience that is great. This monitor exceeds my expectations. Keep in mind that most users are going to use this monitor for 4-7 hours a day. While building my system the most important is (eye candy) i want to be able to look at my monitor that is easy on my eyes and has great visuals. I have used this monitor with the onboard hdmi and display port on my Asus 1080ti video card. Both are very easy to watch and use. Gaming graphics @ 4k is stunning and with the 1ms response time it makes the games the best experience I have had. The negative. The Vesa mount is 75mm standard , however it is offset. It is located at the top ,instead of the middle. I use multiple monitors and have a desk mount to support dual monitors and they cannot be side by side due to the mount difference. however if you just use it on the desk , the adjustments that can be made are very extensive. Planning on buying 2 more very soon. One other thing, The power supply is external and can be replaced if you have a power line problem. So a new power supply instead of sending it somewhere for repair, if that ever comes up. I will get another monitor very soon to replace the other monitor I use , then the VESA issue will be corrected. For the price point you really can not do any better. And in some instances you can more and still come up short in quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This monitor is amazing! I bought this monitor a week ago and I am very happy with it. The picture is very bright and clear. The stand makes my desk feel clean and organized. Also the stand swivels so I can view the screen at a good angle. Also the AMD Freesync tech is awesome should make any game look better. It has a very fast response time. Really this screen has it all. Check out my video to see how it comes and looks. Basically you wont need another screen until 8K becomes main stream.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing monitor! I just switched from a 1080p 24-inch monitor and use my new Samsung UE590 28-inch monitor for gaming and streaming videos with my Xbox One S. The quality of the picture is amazing and extremely crisp and clear to the point where you can see the pores on someone's face in a tv show or single blades of grass in a game like Battlefield 1. There are tons of features packed into this monitor allowing the user to customize the settings in a way that suits their viewing habits best. The only issue I have found is that this monitor does not support HDR10 so you cannot truly get the full 4k HDR experience but the difference of having HDR10 is so minute and the quality of the picture is so nice that it doesn't really affect the user experience at all. The 28-inch option is definitely worth choosing over the 24-inch version as the extra 4 inches really give you a more in-depth experience when gaming or watching tv as it is noticeably larger than its 24-inch counterpart and allows you to see more of the details in the picture clearly. The monitor even has an audio out jack so you can plug in a sound system which is great for when you want to switch to Netflix after gaming and no longer want to wear a headset. If you are looking at this monitor for regular computing purposes it is also a great computer monitor due to the fact that it includes many customizable settings such as Picture In Picture mode or Picture By Picture mode which is great for someone who does stock trading, for example, and must have various computer windows open at the same time. All in all, this monitor is jam-packed with great features and is amazing and for the price. You won't find another 4k monitor for this price that even comes close to rivaling the UE590 whether it be the technical specifications or the user experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stupidest monitor ever! 1) The VESA holes are on top of the monitor. No matter which adapter you use, it will never be higher than the original support (the holes are so high that the plate stays above the monitor border). And the holes are lower than the back of the monitor (where the cables are connected), so there is no way whatsoever to fix that. 2) Is hard to turn the monitors off. There's a bug on nVidia + DisplayAdapter where my second monitor keeps turning on/off when the computer is in stand by. To turn this monitor off it has to be on (remember: it is flickering on/off mode), and you'll have to use a menu to turn it off! Cmon!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far So good I fell in love with this display once I saw the demo show me 4k. Ive only had it a short while but it has performed phenomenally. I edit videos and pictures on this bad boy, have my work computer hooked to it as well as watch tv on it. One of the coolest features it has is PIP, not to mention the monitor came with an HDMI cord and a cord for my work docking station already in the box saving me from having to buy them. Light weight and just great. Highly recommend. Only con is the power button its like a tiny joystick that controls everything from sound to settings to input selections. I would have liked dedicated buttons instead.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great monitor att a great price I bought a 24" UHD Samsung monitor to replace my old Samsung 24" LED monitor. I'm limited on desktop space and it fit my area nicely. Good sturdy monitor stand, brig picture, fast response times for gaming. Only negative about this monitor is the controls are in a joystick format which takes a bit of getting used to.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value Overall, it’s a great product. The only reason I don’t give it five stars it’s because of its sturdiness. For such a large monitor, it doesn’t feel like its frame and stand are strong enough to support. I will buy a monitor arm to attach it to my desk. Other than that, it’s an awesome product for the price. I still have to see how it performs in the long run.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product The picture on this monitor is terrific. I have a R9 280 video card with an AMD 8 cpu processor and the monitor really improves my X-Plane flight simulator. Working on pictures with Adobe Photoshop is also greatly improved. The display is a little bright, but I much prefer it as is instead of using the eyesaver mode which is just a push button away. Installation was just remove from box, hook up power cord and display port cord and start windows 10. It came up working in max pixels. I switched to HDMI so I could use the monitor speakers (not an option with display port cord). I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A lot for the money This monitor offers a good image for the price. Mind you it's OMG awesome and if you are using it as a desktop computer monitor you will probably see some discoloration on the sides of the screen at what is normal viewing distance for a desktop monitor. In general I would say the flat field (uniformity of color over the entire viewing area) is okay but not accepatble for critical applications. I bought two of these for my PC. The amount of detail available on a 28" 4K monitor at desktop monitor viewing distances makes for a generous amount of productive work space.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The vesa mount needs to be lower I am loving this monitor. I upgraded from a 1080p 60 hz monitor and its just stunning. My only complaint is the placement of the vesa mount holes. Because they are placed at the top of the monitor, the arm I was using only held the monitor 1 inch above the desk when fully extended. Other than this, I can easily say that this monitor was the best purchase I've ever made.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from NO SAMSUNG Drivers available Without Samsung drivers it only runs generic display drivers and is NOT optimized for gaming. VERY POOR support on the Samsung site which will continuously run you in circles to find a driver that does not exist. This is NOT disclosed on the packaging.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product! A Few Things to Note! Main Use of Monitor: Graphic Design / Video Editing / Gaming Graphics Card: AMD Radeon R9 290X Overall this is an excellent monitor at a great price! A few things to note: -Be sure to use a DisplayPort 1.2 connection for full 4K at 60Hz (HDMI only does 30Hz). Don't forget to install the driver included on the CD as well, or from the Samsung website. -If you use Catalyst Control Center, be sure to set the refresh rate to 60Hz if you want 10-bit color. The 64Hz setting restricts you to 8-bit color. -There is no DisplayPort 1.2 driver available for Windows 10 as of the date of this review. This isn't a huge issue but I have experienced some flickering when I have light colors on one side of the screen and dark colors on the other. Some blogs recommend going into the Device Manager and navigating to 'View>Show hidden devices', and then deleting old monitor drivers if present. I can't comment on the effectiveness of this, but thought it should be noted. -It took me hours to get AMD's FreeSync feature working, as the option wasn't showing up in my graphics software (Catalyst Control Center). After updating all of the drivers and at the end of my rope, I simply unplugged the cable and plugged it back in. Sure enough, that did the trick. Of course. Be sure to go into the monitor's OSD and select FreeSync>On. -I enjoy 'Game Mode' with AMD FreeSync for video and gaming, but keeping 'Game Mode' on allows you to only adjust the brightness of the screen. You will need to adjust the color profile in your graphics software or elsewhere if you have 'Game Mode' on, not from the monitor's OSD. If you're a graphic designer or photographer, I would recommend a third-party color calibrator for more accurate colors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ergonomic disaster The height of this monitor can not be adjusted at all. Of course, this may work fine for you depending on your height, the height of your chair and your desk, but for many, it won't. I would never sit in front of such a monitor for an extended period of time. Since I immediately returned the ones I received, I cannot say anything sensible about the performance of the monitor, as it is unusable to us due to the above issues. I am appalled that something like this can come out of the design process of a company like Samsung.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Holy monitor stand batman First of all, I would buy this monitor again. Second of all, I have no problem with the TN panel. However, the stock monitor stand is every bit as bad as people say. To add insult to injury the VESA mount is at the top of the monitor, which: 1. Makes it hard to line up with you other monitors if you have a dual monitor stand. 2. Makes it hard to get the monitor high enough in some applications, potentially negatively affecting ergonomics.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Work and Play Monitor The size and clarity provide an excellent canvas for my work both as a teacher and an engineer. The ability to snap a different window into each corner, all with plenty of space to work in is fantastic. Brightness is fantastic, sometimes way too bright (of course it can be easily adjusted). Color accuracy and viewing angles aren't the greatest (as with any TN panel) but response times are excellent. Overall a great monitor for work and play, so long as you have a beefy GPU and color accuracy isn't needed for work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wish I had returned it... bought this monitor like... 2 years ago or so because i just had to have a 4k display for my xbox one x... at the time i was convinced 4k was all i cared about, but the fact is this monitor is garbage if you intend to use the hdmi ports. first off each port has different capabilities (only one with do 60hz) but neither support the suite of features this monitor has to offer. i held out hope maybe some sort of firmware patch might correct this some day, or maybe adapter technology would catch up to allow me to use hdr and vrr with the hdmi port but no avail. so on top of all that the color looks bad, i assume because i cant use the hdr. monitor has been a subpar experience for years, wish i had returned it while i could tl:dr- i should've returned it when i got it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good monitor poor design bought this monitor to add to my upgraded mac system. monitor is quite good by found a few issues down the track. i bought a dual mounting arm to attach the monitor only to find the mounting screws holes are at the top of the monitor, this means that the monitor would not lift any higher than it would with the stand. also when the computer is in sleep mode the monitor will turn on for about 10 seconds and then turn off again, this happens about once an hour so i have turn the monitor off when i am not using the computer. to turn off the monitor you need to use the press the toggle inconveniently at the back of the monitor and toggle to the off position and enter, this is really awkward. samsung could not assist with this issue. i would expect better design from samsung.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Should have been so good... I bought two of these to use as colour monitors on our two computers we use for post production on images. We use a main monitor and a second monitor on each mac. I don't need optical, colour printing excellence for the stuff we do as its not fine art or 'dogs nuts' printing but we do need to get near enough and match our output for our business as photographers. I bought these to augment, a new computer. and move up from a delightful 8 year old near excellent smaller samsung monitor and a non samsung monitor. Sorry to say this monitor does not come near the old one. I don't mind the stand, I don't mind the design and I don't mind the price if it does the job. But it doesn't, there is just not enough colour corrections options, in our case it can't get the blues right. Not much but enough and it's not like colour correction is new to us. It's not loads out but it's not near enough either, and it doesn't have to be much to cause us to have problems with customers. I'll try the other one but I expected better from Samsung.
